    We always say that paying too much attention to the L10 category in the standings feels somewhat remedial in this era of advanced stats, but the Blazers' ongoing 1-9 funk is like the car crash you can't look away from. Washington was an early pace-setter in the league's Most Disappointing Team derby before the Wiz began to right themselves -- while Minnesota, Atlanta and Detroit are all still on that list -- but the Blazers have to top it as 2016 dribbles to a close. There's a risk for further disappointment as well Monday night, with Damian Lillard's ankle woes threatening to derail the scheduled showdown between the league's two highest-scoring backcourts: Lillard and C.J. McCollum versus Toronto's DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry.

    it's eerie to me how quiet it is from the players, coach, mgmt. I don't like the seeming lack of info, but they don't care WTF I like or don't like...lol Maybe its the calm before the storm, we'll see I guess

    I'm just waiting until January. It's a much more favorable schedule. Not to mention the team is playing like they know this core is going to get broken up. I think they can see the writing on the wall. And when I say core I don't mean Lillard or CJ.

    such the wrong attitude imo, no blame, no pin pointing of issues, we're all good, bring on the easy schedule and we'll be fine.

    that just equates to one of the other comments of "we're playing hard just not well enough", where they think they are doing enough, but getting a bad result anyways.

    and fuck jason quick, what a dick 'i can sense loses are really starting to bother this team' no shit, einstein.

    also can they please fuckin stop with all these floater shots?

    the media has never had a clue or let us in. Oh yeah Ezeli is doing great. Couple weeks later. "can't ask questions about knee.". Then he is out for the season. We always have been kept in the dark especially with injuries. It's quiet and this team is being too okay with this shit play of theirs. It's like stotts whole "everything will be okay" bullshit carried over to the team. "No man just keep looking game to game, don't dwell". Fucking dwell because you guys suck so bad right now. This is the most embarrassed I have been as a Blazer fan. How in the living fuck do you go from competing with GSW, having the most competitive games to losing to the worst team?!? I have separated myself. The league is just about money now. The more these guys make, the less they fucking care. Crabbe can eat a dick along with Turner.m How the fuck do you have that much capable talent and just choose not to perform because you got that 70 mil,. you are set for life. Sorry for the salt but this team drives me insane. I am sure they are good dudes but fuck their effort in the league, it's pathetic

    We have won 13 of 32 games. A year ago we had won 12 of 32 games. That's progress. If we gain a win per year, we will be Capt. James T. Kirk's favorite team.

    That's assuming we get out of the Trump era alive.
