    I see no reason why Ainge would unload Kessler unless it was an incredible deal. They are a big team.

    Does any site keep track of air balls? There would be 2 stats, FGAs and FTAs. This game has been high in each. These 2 teams were made for each other.

    Am I considered a bad fan if I have no fucking interest in watching this game?

    The ant and grant offense is a good way to tank.

    Friends, if unlike me you chose to not pay to attend this game, consider yourself fortunate.

    Yeesh, Grant and Ant commanding the tank.

    Grant looks horrible.

    I'm also seeing more emphasis on defense. Two good things.

    I don't understand these Blazer fans that think Grants value hasn't gone down this season... Yes he's been horrible all year and other GMs are watching the same things we are.

    Just insane how stupid it was to collect the vets Cronin did leading up to, during, and after Dame was traded.

    Team can't shoot. Team doesn't pass the ball well and team can't shoot. Blazers won't win without guys on the team that can consistently make open 3s, and we don't have anyone like that. We have some streaky shooters, but not anyone that's money when they're open.

    He's had a number of these games this year he's beyond awful. Just dribbling into turnovers and not even shooting smoothly. I don't remember this in prior years.

    Might think he has a drug problem or family issue or some other major problems in his life.

    Maybe just sharing the baby mama with Ingram and a new kid is it... I dunno

    Simons playing like he's hungover. Something ain't right with him. Even straightforward passes are flying all over the place.
