    19 of the next 26 games will be at home for Portland. That stretches to the 40 game mark. Blazers better be 10 games over .500 at the 40 game mark because 26 of their last 42 games are on the road

    Judging from the effort, I think even the players on the team thought there would be changes this last off-season. When there weren't, they knew rolling it back again wasn't the answer no matter who the coach was. Completely uninspired effort that is not worthy of the Blazer uniform.

    Reflecting on the Powell/Trent deal makes my head hurt.

    Right now, Powell is probably the better player. He is more experienced and the deal saved some money. It was a win-now deal - and at the time that made sense. Less than a year later, it no longer does. Having a 3rd young player with promise would be worth way more than guys like Powell and RoCo. So would those 2 draft picks. When you make that kind of win-now deals and you don't win there is no good ending.

    When you make those kinds of win now deals and don't win a series in the playoffs... that's a big time problem.

    Dame’s “guy” is a clown. Glorified valet.

    So, the guy is a "clown" and a "valet" - but even he can see something Stotts couldn't?

    Portland definitely won the Powell/Trent trade.

    The RoCo one is debatable.

    yeah, I know. I was just trying to point out that it wasn't just Stotts that supposedly undervalued Jones

    more than that though is it's pretty wacky to conclude Jones has some new found talent that Stotts couldn't find. He's only played in 9 games and he's averaged less than 17 minutes in those 9 games. He's averaging 6 points and 3 rebounds...what an all-star!!. He's only had 40 FGA and he's not going to keep shooting 82.4% on two's or carry .735 TS%

    it was a stupid tweet
