Game Thread GAME# 52: BLAZERS @ THUNDER - FEBRUARY 5, 2017 - SUNDAY, 12:00 PM (PST), CSNNW

For someone who hates football you sure talk about it a lot... Lol.

 

I don't think there is any team in the NBA in a worse situation than us right now.

Think about the shitty teams; Lakers have a decent looking future, Sixers future is looking very bright, Bucks have great young talent, Heat have figured it out, Wolves and Pelicans have maybe the two most incredible young talents in the NBA. Suns have young talent and have even beaten a few good teams this year.

We are stuck with two ball dominant guards who are black holes defensively, a bunch of overpaid value players, a shitty coach, and an arrogant GM. We're also going to have the highest payroll in the NBA next season. I think the only shittier situation at the moment is probably the Nets.

 

If you watch this team that's all he does anymore.

 

The lack of urgency from the organization is really troubling as a fan. Another wasted season where we haven't answered any questions from last year.

 

It's dame and cj every night. Stop the trade dame or cj talk, you keep both and trade our current players for players that fit the team and are better. The thing that made this team great when lamarcus was here was our three point shooting. Stotts runs the same
Offense with shitty three point shooters whether it's turner or aminu. These guys can't hit. Get rid of anybody this summer not named cj or dame and get some better players to surround them with

 

Just another day in Blazerland.

 

What?

 

This exactly. Look at the numbers every night. Dame, cj, maybe plumlee are the only numbers you look at and say "yeah that's good".

 

With the cap going up, somebody would take crabbe eventually. League loves 7 footers that can shoot in Leonard. Aminu has a nice contract. Davis does too.

 

I wonder how much better this team might perform if they didn't consistently allow star players to walk into their favorite spots on the floor and take completely uncontested shots. I mean shit, every team in the league doubles Dame and forces him to give it up to a role player, yet we seem to be the only team that doesn't do that to anyone else.

 

The Thunder have surrounded Westbrook with solid defense and rebounding. If you're going to build around a ball-dominant guard, the Thunder are doing a decent job of it.

 

Well let see how Neil screw up the draft by trading the picks away. No need to trade at deadline wait for the off season to make trades. Believe this we need to keep our picks this year.

 

This again is on the General Manager.

I'm not sold that is so much a lack of urgency but more a lack of competence. But it could be either. He maybe someone that doesn't feel any pressure to do anything. Or the need to do anything. I don't get that. But maybe.
