    The only positive from the game (and this stretch of the season) was Collins performance.

    Tho there were some obvious "you're a rook" fouls called on him.

    You can tell the team has given up or something. Doesn't help their SF and PF positions fucking suck.

    I was just about to say... to make it all worse Kuzma is the fucking truth yet we decided to draft our second PF in the same draft instead of our position of most need.

    We have 26 power forwards but still starting Aminu.

    Genius.

    I would love to trade Nurk so bad.. he’s starting to be my least favorite player on the team.

    He’s stupid as fuck on the court. A turnover machine. Bitches 24/7 to the refs, flops, please get rid of this guy

    I would love to go back to Collins and Vonleh at the 4. Vonleh makes a difference in the flow somehow. Plus he rebounds and is an excellent defender.

    Nurk had 1 fucking rebound.... One!

    How the hell does a center have one rebound?

    In 24 minutes he didn't get one 50/50 ball he could have outmuscled somebody for another rebound?

    I'd say blow it up, but they can't. So many shitty, unmovable contracts.

    Fuck.

    1 rebound from Nurkic and 1 more assist from CJ than from Layman. That is pathetic!

    Jokic' made Nurkic' is bic'.

    What has happened to CJ? Woah, just not the same player as last season unfortunately.

    Even more perplexing: How the fuck does Stotts still have a job???
    That was seriously the least professional looking "professional" game I've ever seen from an NBA team.
    Players playing listless, not prepared, can't execute worth a shit, selfish play - yet somehow the guy in charge of all of this still keeps his job.

    What a slap in the face of fans - to play like that on your home court.
    I've followed this team for decades, but I think it's time to put in as much effort to watching them as they put into their play - at least until some MAJOR moves are made.

    Only saving grace is Collins is looking like a nice player.

    Did any of you ever think it might be Portland that is the problem here ? I mean, if we would have got MJ...... or KD for that matter, would they have become what they have become ?

    Skipped on Jordan, Durant, Larry Bird, Giannis....and now Kuzma and Bell in the same draft where we had 2 picks. And then there is drafting Meyers....and then re-signing him. :banghead2:

    Just finnished the Game on League Pass. I didn't watched all tue Game because that was horrible from the Blazers. Big thanks to the 2nd Unit who made it way better than the S5. Collins was good,but he has to learn to play smarter. I am Sure he will ne better in the Future. Nurkic was extremly Bad today, even in the D. CJ also bad again. Allen and Neil better see that is Time to blow it up
