    I don't know about that the 3 minutes of the half I see Aminu Harkless Nurk scoring.

    Makes you wonder exactly how long will Damian Lillard stick around if this is the way it's gonna be?

    At this point unless they change the way they play, it won’t matter if they make a trade/signing or not. Not sure that kind of change happens in the middle of a season so I don’t really see the point of Stotts still being around. How many years left on his contract?

    This team is fucking broken. There are 3 players on the team capable of making plays, and one of them can only make plays for himself. Any good stretches we have are luck and fools gold. I'm sure at some point in this season we're gonna have another 7-8 game winning streak where it looks like they've really turned the corner. Then we head to another 1st round exit and Olshey will spew some bullshit about how close we are. When in reality the team just sucks and we have no room to make any moves either because of all the stupid contracts he signed in 2016.

    There is no way to change the way they play as long as they keep Dame and CJ together... it will always be Dame and CJ taking half the shots and the team last in the league in assists

    I don't have a graph or chart. But I know that all this failure is affecting the bottom line of his shooting. Imagine doing the same thing OVER AND OVER again, with no hint of any change. They show that mice will stop looking for cheese in mazes if they aren't rewarded at the end. Human beings are the same way. They don't respond positively to repeated failures. C.J. Who i am sure is on the same track eventually. Olshey is unwavering committed to one team building strategy with absolutely no thought of needed change. In thos types of situations, things don't gradually get worse or better, they eventually just collapse.

    Terry doesn't give a fuck. He knows which players complaints mean something to the front office. And Layman isn't one of them.

    Nurk has been so much better around the basket this year.
