    Usually the team getting blown out cuts into the lead in garbage time.

    We're not getting Zion. We're gonna get some middle-of-the-road talent who will amount to no better than a Bench player.

    Such is the life of a 40-ish win team.

    I have an idea. Can we start tanking for Zion?

    OMG. Can’t remember when I’ve ever been this embarrassed of this team. The Warriors are missing two of their best players and they still blow us out by more than 25??? Are you kidding me?? Where’s a paper bag. I want to put it over my head.

    The Blazers had the best Black Friday deals, giving away free buckets to the Warriors all night.

    The worst part of this is knowing that *nothing will change*. Stotts will not adapt. Olshey will not make any meaningful moves. They could both take a dump on the midcourt logo and there is no chance they would be fired. Many of the players seem to have decided there are no consequences for playing at half speed.

    The one hope is a new owner who is dedicated to winning and not afraid to drop the hammer on those not pulling their weight.

    Did I say "new owner"?? Has there been even the ghost of a credible rumor of an interested buyer? When the Clippers became available, there was an immediate interest from potential new owners. We get silence. What does that tell you?

    I would say that Meyers played better tonight defensively and offensively than Zach.

    I wondered why all those Lakers fans came to a warriors game for in Portland. Then realized they were warriors fans in gs. I'm high right now.

    Our team was garbage tonight but it didn't help that the Warriors shot 53% from three. Even if we left them open for all of them, that's still shooting pretty damn good.

    There's nobody in this region, besides Bill Gates, who's rich enough to buy this team. And if Bill hasn't spoken up by now, then he's not likely going to be a buyer.

    Which means that it will be an outsider who will want to move the team. That is, if they even want to buy the team.

    The ceiling of this team is what we thought. First round exit. This inconsistency is going to continue all season. Why? Because it’s the same god damn team.

    Teams continue to dare Aminu to beat them. That wouldn’t happen with Melo, no matter how washed anyone thinks he is.

    At this point, why not? Dump Baldwin. Woulda said dump Biggie but the genius doubled down and guaranteed his contract.

    One reason there players move on offense and our players don't.

    Don’t give me that excuse. I’ve already heard it once before on this road trip. Good teams find a way to overcome hot shooting by the opposition. Bad teams just succumb to it.

    You guys ever see that movie "air bud" ? I think that dog could help our team.

    The worst thing about this defeat for me is that after recent Warriors struggles I thought ‘maybe if we get them in the playoffs without one of their stars we could have a chance’. We could get them without three of them and still lose by 15 every game.

    I wonder if Vince McMahon would want to buy a basketball team?

    And yes, I'm completely serious.

    Just imagine the entertainment that would come from firing someone.....
