    Ugh we are just unwatchable at this point, and I mean that literally in my case. I can't even watch it to see if Dame moves up in the scoring or Sharpe gets more minutes. Just plain garbage ball and embarrassing.

    by all means, keep showing tatum the exact same coverage.

    this is not a professional team at this point. the bbiq, the coaching, the (lack of) talent or size, the will, the aggression, etc etc etc. this is a shit team. embrace it.

    why they're going thru the charade of acting like they want to win is beyond me. the moves made at the deadline made it clear winning is not a priority.

    2 wins out of six road games is not bad.

    Yeah, definitely not a professional basketball team. More like high school.

    Barely beating Orlando and Detroit was kind of telling about how good we are, shoulda thrown that Orl game.

    why is chauncey so persistent with the zone defense

    come on man, try something else, at least you can confuse the opponent with new defensive scheme every few minutes

    chauncey has been a huge disappointment, none of the things he has spoken about have been implemented and not only that, he looks clueless

    Watching a tank squadron was easier than watching this.

    when you pull the starters with 6 minutes left you are definitely tanking...Chauncey puts out the white flag quicker than any coach I can remember.

    Hope we don’t fuck up and win that Spurs game on April 6th. With a little luck we could run the table with losses.

    As long as Cronin is here CB will be here, I highly doubt he has the balls to fire him.

    Other than Dame and Justise, no dawgs on this team. There are more than a few dogs, though.

    I have no idea what we're trying to accomplish on defense. There doesn't seem to be any communication. I'd completely scrap the zone. These guys might be bad man defenders but they play NO defense when they're in a zone.

    Zone is alright when you actually playing the correct way but of course we have know clue how to play it. But you play it to throw something different at a opponent.

    The Blazers can only play Houston, Orlando, and Detroit so many times.
    The next such team is San Antonio on April 6th.
