    You mean, that one game where we actually did something and then the 10 where they didn't?

    Well god damn, I'm a fool for waiting and seeing...

    And yo why the fuck did we trade batum again? Had 17, 7, 7. Essentially we traded batum for vonleh because we just let go of Henderson.

    The reason OT is getting so much traffic now is that there's at least some adrenaline there...Blazers need a serious shot of B vitamins

    Hey it's not us. And Paul Allen is about to get a massive tax cut so I'm not about to feel sorry for him.

    everybody wants a change to be made, what change can olshey even make?

    organization seems hell bent on keeping dame and CJ together. well, who's tradeable then?

    meyers? lol
    plumlee? i guess he's an attractive backup C, but he'd bring nothing but crumbs as far as returns go
    aminu? lol
    harkless? maybe our best bet
    turner? LOL
    crabbe? LOL
    ed davis? regressed and will be picked up for cheap in FA

    front offices hands are tied. this team is a trainwreck

    Stotts has lost control of the team. He will not be back next season, despite his new contract. His system demands that players take shots they can't make. He scolds them for knowing their limitations. They are rebelling. I see it in open head shaking from Meyers Leonard and in a loss of energy from other players.

    The same thing happened to McMillan. The players knew his system sucked. Neither coach has the talent to adjust his system. Stotts will be some team's top assistant next season.

    Why don't you wait and see after a loss? It's a long season.

    Michael holton and Jordan Kent. Really bug the shit out of me. Every game no matter what they just wanna point out the positives of the game. The very few they can find. It's so tiring. At least on talkin ball some of them actually have opinions. I know these guys aren't paid to say different things but man I wish organizations didn't sugarcoat everything
