    Is now a good time for one of you to create the Season Win Total Predictions Thread?

    The only thing I will now look forward to this season is Dame passing Clyde, and Shaedon hopefully progressing.

    He wouldn’t need one if this season would just get going and you could get back working regular.

    Sharpe is a better point guard than our backup point guards. He grabs a rebound then goes up to the 3 point line and looks around for teammates. These other jokers just dribble straight to the hoop.
    I like what I'm seeing with Sharpe's court vision and hope he can take advantage when the defense gives him an opening.

    When many were complaining about the predictable offense a couple years ago, demanding change. Some of us were warning that change, for the sake of change was dangerous; especially given the amount of realtive success we'd had in the previous 6-7 seasons.

    I'll continue to say that I'm uncomfortable writing Billups off as a coach, but the decision to go with an incredibly unproven head coach during Dame's prime seem to be made in incredibly poor judgement. Olshey made plenty of questionable moves though, which is why I said we got rid of the wrong guy first. I would've liked to see a new, fresh GM come in and decide if it was time for a new head coach.

    I just seriously want to tear down the entire franchise to the studs and start over.

    New owner.

    New GM.

    New coach.

    New roster.

    Cut out all the dry rot and just completely start over fresh. I'm willing to wait a decade if it takes that long, but I want to see us start over with a solid foundation.

    It hasn’t been this clear to me at the beginning of a season that we’re going to be a shit team since the Charles ‘Spider’ Smith was a starter days

    The Blazers have an absolutely dreadful performance in Sacramento. How worried should we be about the team? We'll breakdown some of the lapses on defense. Join us to talk about the game!

    In the last 4 years, since being swept by the Pelicans, we have done what you wanted. We have gotten rid of everyone on the roster but Dame and Simons. We have a new coach. We have a new owner. We have a new GM. I guess you just need to wait the 10 years now.

    We'll see. If we play like we've been playing we're not going to win ten games but I just don't think this is what we'll see in a week and a half. I guess we'll all have to wait to find out.

    Have you ever gone a decade without calling for a new coach? Didn't you want Stotts gone and now you want Billups gone after one season?
