    Well what’s your logical explanation Einstein?

    You have Turner who has been playing terrible for weeks now continue to get a lot of PT but when Layman does well he literally gets DNPs for a guy in Harkless who has been worth a shit since he got back

    I've been seeing it longer than that. That's what's so fucking ridiculous about some of these posters man. We get this Gronky guy saying "This will happen until will trade CJ or fire Stotts" and I say "CJ played great, this game isn't an example" and get hit with "dO yOu SeTtLe fOr mEdIoCrItY iN LiFe LiKe yOu dO bLaZeRs?" and then I get cast as someone who isn't fine with changes because these kids... oh wait, he's in his late 30s? Damn... :beatinto: Anyway, I get cast as such because they are too frustrated to remember I want Stotts gone, and because I dont want to trade C.J. for peanuts, or nutcases.

    Ok glad. Simply put, it's getting tiresome and repetitive. I always have my True Blazer Fan videos that I put out.

    Denver averages 34.6% from three (22nd in NBA)
    Tonight: 46.7%

    That's eight opponents in the Blazers last nine games to shoot higher than their season average against them.

    Yep our Defense is completely Trash

    Btw why only 10 minutes for Stauskas? Imagine you make 5 3s and in the Next Game you only get 10 minutes

    The stats didn't line up under the columns but we all can see Mo is not a good choice to start at this time. Layman should have played. Why do we need a population of guards? We still need another small Scoring forward.
    What happened to Dame? A loss is bad but a one point loss at home is agony.

    Yeah....That's good and stupid. I can clearly see the fire Stotts attitude in here.

    Actually Nards wasn't super bad last year.
    He just wasn't better than Ed Davis.
    If you watched the games without blinders on, you'd see this.

    He might even make that shot with a couple seconds on the clock. They certainly would have to guard him.

    Yep. Game threads are tough to post in. You got to take a bunch of it with a grain of salt. Negs always seem to take over during tough stretches and then when things go well they continue to point out the bad stretches as evidence that the team isn't any good.

    Everyone knows this team is not a championship caliber team. Nobody anywhere is saying they are (Except one guy). The fun of being a fan is enjoying the team and continuing to support them through struggles. I get to know the players on the court and root for them. When someone constantly bashes players i am trying to support it just gets tough to listen to. Then there are those that only can see garbage. They don't even seem to have any understanding because they either have never played an organized team sport or they just don't care? Whatever the case it just seems to be a tough dark life they live if all they can see is hatred on everything the team they are supporting is doing.

    Been at this a long time and it doesn't ever seem to change.

    Yep i absolutely hate the hand off passes!
    They need to run Dame off ball a bunch more!
    Absolutely need to play inside out!
    Use the high post like they do with Leonard. Meyers actually does very well at the high post and creates problems because defenses have to guard his shot.
    Really good post!

    We all watched Turner have 3 turnovers in 30 seconds last night. There is no question he needs to get a wake up call at the very least. Goes for Harkless too! Harkless needs to be benched just like last year. Something needs to wake that guy up.
