Do we still have a first round pick if we tank?

And… You think the season's over too? Seriously a guy that claims to be a realist, wouldn't put their chips on one game, right? Right? RIGHT?

 

Best post of the day!

 

No, I don't think that.

 

Than the "48 minute" comment is pretty invalid, don't you agree? The trolling started 2 minutes into last night's game.

 

yeah..its hard to argue with the lack of quality product fans received last night. We had two players that looked like they belonged in the NBA. Our O was harassed by their so so D to the point of being ineffective, and Our D was non existent. Wake me up when this nightmare is over. This past decade of wait till next year has taken its toll of me.

 

Relax brother, we got this… This won't be a "wait until next year" team. Our team was taken completely out of what made them successful. They are a big team and didn't play big like they did in the past. I see us turning around. I saved a seat on the bandwagon for you when you come back around.

 

Hahahaha, Mags, I love you and your never ending enthusiasm. Yeah..save me a seat for when this franchise turns around. In the mean time I can no longer stomach 82 grueling games viewed while bludgeoning my self with the false hopes of a one and done season. If I take the remaining 81 games times three hours wasted, add the 18 pack of coors light and what ever food I desire..well I could use the resources to paint the inside of the house or build a bike..

 

LMAO!!!!

Well, lets hope I'm right and you come back with flying colors! The Blazers won't let you down this season. I just know it!

 

If there's no D, there's no W. Period.

 

.......really?

 

I agree with Carlito. Especially the Taco Bell comment.

 

I think some of you are vastly underrating the talent on Phoenix. They have a very dynamic backcourt with Bledsoe and Dragic, both of whom have given us fits in the past. They have some decent scorers like PJ Tucker and the Morris twins, who have also given us fits in the past. This is just a team that we do not play well against. Bledsoe could be an All-Star, and Dragic is essentially Steve Nash light. I really don't understand why you guys think they're so bad. This isn't the Bobcats.

 

Preseason means nothing. We were beating teams that didn't care. Look how good the Warriors were last night. They knew when the real season started. As for Miami, they have a team that won two championships and they beat the Bulls. One loss last night means nothing to them. We are unproven. Remember, the Bobcats lost last night too and they suck so we might be more like them than Miami.

 

Actually you just proved that one game doesn't determine the season.

 

With how deep this draft was. It was unclear to me why Neil seemed to want to toe the line on making the playoffs or just 'missing' it and then missing out on the lottery pick.

Actually the moves he has made has been puzzling. They didn't make us significantly better nor did they make us significantly worse which is where I would think we want to be...

Anyone know why we picked this year to play with a delicate situation?

 

I say this now after being thoroughly impressed with them in Preseason.

But they looked a lot like the team I thought we had on paper with their play last night. Defensivley, they were no where in tune (which is why I asked about only 9 mins for TRob) like they were in Preseason.

Made me let out a "Oh"

 

I think the reason why Freeland got more time than Robinson last night was because Stotts was trying to stop Plumlee. Not sure if Freeland is really a defensive stopper though

 

Guys guys. Preseason means nothing. Sometimes, the other team isn't even trying to win. They're playing people who won't playin regular season, trying new schemes. You can't take anything away from preseason. In games that matter, our team has lost 14 in a row.

 

Aldridge played a lot and I don't think Aldridge wants to slide to center and play with TRob. That's LA/Hickson all over again.
