    We are fucked for the foreseeable future. I'm just going to call it like it is. We are fucked. Let's hope one of those three picks can contribute immediately.

    Can't we at least give Larry Sanders a try out for the rest of the season?

    Can't sign him because we are right up against the Luxury Tax.

    This game was really lost by the second unit in the third quarter when at one point they had something like four or five empty possessions in a row. We miss Turner. McCollum is not a point guard and will never be a point guard, which is fine, but damn, he's not a point guard.

    When one player not stoping Morris than you try someone else. But I give Morris credit he had a great game. Would I try Noah on him hell yea I would due to he stronger than Harkless and Aminu. I just don't know what Stotts is seeing so I will continue to be puzzle with his coaching.

    I thought Harkless really played hard on D but Morris hit some ridiculous shots

    Neil needs to maximize the trade potential of all out players now. Find a package that will make sense and give us traction farther down the line. Maybe even picks past this draft. We can't get younger but the Blazers need to get as many opportunities to get talent as possible. Stop trying to trade flotsum like Ezili....

    He looked good. He was treated like a rookie in terms of calls. The offensive foul towards the end of the game was absurd.

    There's also a big difference between nurks turnovers, and say aminus. Nurks are aggressive, but usually the right read. Aminus are reckless and out of control.

    Well, this was another successful debacle. Play hard, mess up at the end and rip defeat from the jaws of victory. The tank rumbles ahead.

    Reading the box score... did we get fucked over by the refs as usual? Outrebounded them, out shot them and made more 3s, but got called for more fouls and they got enough FTs to win. Yes, my homer glasses are pretty much always on.

    Holy turnovers, Batman...

    Then call it like it is. Two guys that score at will and a 22 year old center that shows on both ends of the court. And three first round picks. That's how you build. This team was rebuilding last year too, they just overachieved. Sick of all this bitching and crying.

    Drummond was sticking his butt into Harkless when he came around the screen and they never called it. Not much you can do then.

    I'm more upset at Dame going under the pick on a 12 foot jumper. Seriously? If Dame doesn't work on his D this summer in a big way I hope they can find a way to end this nightmare. No way any three front court players we can realistically get can cover for Dame and CJ on D.

    Every team in the league knows to put in your quickest backup PG against Dame and he will have a career night.

    Can someone look up Dames plus/minus in crunch time this season?
