    This season is toast. 7-5 at home. Stotts now 3-9 vs the sorry Bucks franchise. Can't believe people pay to watch this crap.

    I'll be watching in Section 311 since I already paid to watch this crap.

    Btw if we lose the season isn't over. Look at the thread title. It's game #23. There's 82 games in a season. There's 59 to go after this one. If you make a quarter piece of pie it doesn't mean you made a whole pie.

    If you only have a quarter it doesn't mean you can buy something at the dollar store.

    We’ve played the easiest stretch of our schedule. Anyone saying there isn’t serious reason for concern is delusional.

    People who thought Portland would have 18-20 wins by now are the delusional ones.
    People who freak out that Portland is showing to be a middle of the pack team, unlike the elite team they hoped are the delusional ones.
    People who realized half the league are middle of the pack, inconsistent, and can beat or lose to anyone. Are far from delusional.

    Just because Portland isn't meeting your expectations, and some of us aren't freaking out about it. Doesn't mean we're the delusional ones. It means you didn't judge the team correctly.
    But it's cool, easier to find people to block until the end of the season so I don't have to read their posts in game threads if they show their colors on the first page.

    Unless Portland goes 82-0 the season is always over! Trade, fire, change owners. Everyone has to go. Drain the swamp!

    They'll be on second night of b2b.

    As for the poll, is this a joke? Nurk is actually doubling up Cuz? Boogie is a legit first team all nba caliber this year. He's a top 10 player.

    18-20 wins isn't delusional at all. A handful of points seperate us from that. Most of our losses are with a point or two...they go the other way and we have that record. Nothing delusional about it...just finishing games about as strong as Connaughton is finishing at the basket.

    Hey, I'll take it. They usually have a losing record on the road.

    You have a good point here FAMS. I ain’t giving up on my boys, but it does concern me how we handled the favorable part of our schedule.
