    Stotts needs to be gone already. But main issue with this team is CJ sucks. And Dame has been bad last 5 games. Lillard needs to score 30 + every nightfor us to have a chance. CJ is just terrible. The due has become brick duo.

    Well put. Kanter was a massive defensive liability tonight. Seems like his former teams really make a point to attack him.

    Would be off brand for Olshey to give up on one of his 1st round picks this early.

    Our coach is not a thinker. Basketball games are often lost on one possession. Our couch had a chance to put in our best defenders and failed to do so.

    His lack of attention to detail is holding the team back.

    Melo's atrocious lazy ass defense balanced out his 25 points because he gave a point up for everyone he scored.

    That would require critical thinking skills and balls to take CJ out which stotts doesn’t have. CJ arguably worst defender in last 5 years of all the guards he should never be in that defense rotation. All i want is CJ traded and stotts fired. Il accept whatever. I don’t know who is worse CJ or stotts

    I can't even really feel upset anymore. This team is what it is. Judging by the posts, most of us can see it. Enjoy Dame while he's here, but, well, ya know ....

    True... if only we got 40 points from Kanter to balance out what he gave up.

    Hard to be upset when the team with two all-stars beats the team with one all-star.

    Other than being upset we don't have another all-star.

    is Portland going to be able to hold off Dallas for 6th seed?

    only a 1 game lead for Portland in loss column...but that's effectively 2 games because Blazers own the tiebreaker

    Is Mark Jackson a good coach for this team? I mean, his daughter works for the Blazers
