    Honestly just wanna skip a couple games and take a break. This team has dropped so many games they should of won despite their mediocre talent outside the “big three”. Doubt I can force myself to not watch the game on Friday. I know there is no title coming this year, it just makes me feel eh about the seasons going forward to get us there. Between free agency and the shitty value of our mediocre talent it’s tough. I just want Dame to have a team around him built here and they can get deep in the playoffs, win a title in his career, he goes down as the best blazer of all time or one of the best. Not how it usually goes with past stars. They leave or are just unhappy. Very unclear future with this team and it’s clear this whole young core thing isn’t working after multiple years unless you wanna continue to be very very mediocre. I love cj but man if we have to sacrifice him, do it. Trade him. If you can’t do that get some legit role players for this team

    Fine. You and Eric can watch shows together while the rest of the actual fans watch the games.

    I like other teams in other sports. This way I am a well rounded disappointed sports fan. Years of being a Ravens and O's fan has galvanized me.

    This is annoying as fuck. It's not a relationship.

    I hate when people suggest that those wanting a break from watching a frustrating product that's put on the floor yet again, aren't real fans. Usually the ones who care the most are the ones who get most frustrated by constant mediocrity and don't want to care for a little bit.

    Get that BS outta here.

    Another team with 40% of their starting lineup out. Who the heck is Torrey Craig? Can we win one of these games please?

    I mean knowing me I will watch it. Can’t recall when I have missed a game unless I was super busy but the “actual fan” comment made me laugh. The team is frustrating though, that’s for sure

    So my "negativity" over the constant mediocrity means I'm a super fan. Cool.

    There's always something to enjoy in a game.....finishing a layup...not turning the ball over..making the extra pass, .making a free throw...hell I could go on! Go Blazers!

    previous two games, DEN didnt play that well in the Rose Garden, but without Dame, that might change
    Nurk will miss him big time, theres nobody with whom he can run pnr

    were gonna need big games from Nurk and CJ to win this...

    The valet keeps turning us away at the entrance to the reserve lot. OMG! No wonder Olshey hates living in Portland so much. It's a sign!
