    Yeah, but we’re the only fan base the Blazers have.

    I’m so embarrassed that the Blazers bench unit lost to the Kings’ full squad.

    I think he might get in some trouble when he tries to do too much. And when he looked at the lineup last night, he probably thought he needed to do a lot.

    couldn't watch the game as was blizzard driving in Idaho and eastern oregon, looks like Nas had a very good game - did he look as good as stats indicated?

    Have you never heard of the phrase "plausible deniability"?

    Not even sure this was the bench unit, as much as it was the backups to the bench unit.

    But people act like Sacramento isn't a good team this year. Sure, it's the first time they've been remotely relevant in like 20 years, but they're still light years away from where Portland is.

    And I don't mean that as a back handed compliment to the Kings, they're much better off than Portland is (* as of right now).

    I don't agree that they're light years away from where the Blazers are right now. It's been so long since the starters were healthy, I think people are getting a jaundiced view about the team. I'm expecting Dame to lead them on a winning streak.

    I agree on the upside and I'm cautiously optimistic. However his stats in this particular game shouldn't obfuscate his many mistakes and poor play at times. His numbers are the result of his talent in spite of his poor play.

    sorry, I meant as the rosters were set up last night. The Kings are the what, 3rd or 4th best team in the west (record wise), and Portland with the players they played last night, would give Houston a run for their money as worst team in the league.

    as for comparing the teams healthy, I'd say the Kings are still ahead of Portland. But that's just this year. Give this team a year or 2 (hopefully Sharpe develops as we hope, and they get a good pick or 2 this year) and things should be different.

    Yes. NAS was the best Blazer on the court.

    I have no doubt people on the message board are fine with Jody paying him for multiple years to not coach. I don't think Jody has shown us any reason to believe she's fine with it.
