    flubbed is a broad description. It means the non-Wemby pick was a coin flip

    Worst game I’ve seen Shae play on both ends.

    Why can't the blazers pass to someone behind Kessler, like the Jazz have been doing to Ayton.

    It's not just Shae, he happens to be the most glaring example but the whole team seems like they're less connected and dialed in than they have at any other time this season. It's not that they're not playing hard, it's that they're not playing cohesively and they're all playing with bad concentration or confidence.

    because that would require a different offensive set. Billups wants his guards to freestyle and make reads.

    The Blazers have won 2 home games the entire year. They've also played the least amount of home games of anyone in the league (this is only their 9th). But the fact that we're getting our ass kicked by a 8-16 team, at home, who is missing half their starters....beyond pathetic.

    Maybe playing 3 guards all the time is not great

    We might need to test that theory for another decade until we can come to a conclusion.

    Utah is playing like they're the top seed, and Portland is playing like they're Detroit.

    And the city of Portland doesn't deserve to be in Oregon.
