    Thats the thing: I get it if guys struggle with proper positioning, but a good coach would help them improve on that. Were regressing...

    Despite having little going their way, the Trail Blazers still managed to trail by just six points at the end of the third quarter. But an 18-4 Knicks run to start the fourth quarter, which featured four consecutive New York three-pointers and Portland going over four minutes without scoring, turned a close game into a blowout.

    “We just got outplayed," said Lillard. "Everything they wanted to do, they did it. They made shots, they got stops, they got foul calls. Whatever they wanted to do, they did it.”

    The Blazers scored just six points in the first seven minutes of the fourth, and by then, there game was out of hand. Source: Our "official" site.

    That kind of happened well before the Knicks loss.

    That might have been the worst Blazers game i've ever witnessed....
    Certainly in recent years...

    I thought these players would step up by playing the horrible Knicks and staring anew would morph the team to a .500 record . You had your premonition weeks ago and now I am ready for the tanking conversation. That game was the ugliest display of the Blazers so far this year (and last).

    I dunno who any of these players are. Do we really want to keep this pick?

    We'll have some capspace available if we simply let our FAs expire. Trading this pick and some of our scrubs should open up enough room in a trade to absorb the contract of a legit starter level player this summer I think.

    That was the first game I actually turned off while in the fourth quarter. Probably ever, even though I've talked about doing it other games.

    Did all our media not go? I see nothing from Quick/Freeman after quite possibly the most embarrassing game in recent history

    I fell asleep and woke up around 9 and watched a couple episodes of Dexter with the wife. I felt pretty good about not going back and finishing the fourth quarter and yeah.. First time I have elected to not watch even part of a game in years.

    When Im not interested in watching part of a game, its inline with KS being not being positive....

    It may have been the first time in 50 years that a Blazer game wasn't even in the top 5 things i wanted to watch..
    For the most part i watched the Rose Bowl, but instead of checking in on the Blazers i checked in on the Twilight Zone mararhon instead.
    Seemed appropriate.
