    3 days without Blazers basketball. Not a bad time for a mini break. For the team and for us fans.

    If Whiteside had a season high against Jokic, what is he going to do against Kaminsky?

    Another loss. I’m so tired of Stotts.
    Can’t make adjustments
    Dead last in ast (back to back to back)
    Gets sweept every time in playoffs

    The only reason he still in the NBA is because of Damian Lillard. Otherwise, he would be on Europe or even in NCAA. We get SWEEP in the WCF and what the team does? Give him a extension, cmon is CLEAR that we’re not going to win with him. We suck so badly. Now, he has the PERFECT excuse, because of our injuries. It’s so disappointing.

    I don't like Stotts as a coach but he's nowhere close to as bad as you seem to think he is. We got to the WCF last season, don't just glaze over that. The injuries this year are the team's biggest problem.

    Yeah I see check his playoff record than talk to me. The reason we medíocre since forever is because we over value everything team or a player does. Stotts is a average coach at the best. And yes; he has the perfect excuse
    For this year.

    Tanking is not going to help this team. The draft class isn't even that strong. It's time to build though trades now, not the draft. The Lakers mortgaged there future on Anthony Davis. The Blazers need to do something similar.

    They need to take these 3 days and figure out the defense.

    True....but Neil wouldn't give up CJ for Davis. So we are where we are and the Lakers are 12.5 games back of the Lakers....26 games into the season. Think about that for a minute.
