    I thought CJ played well today overall. On both ends. Dame....

    I still think Dame isn't healthy and shouldn't be playing.

    BEST CASE scenario: first round sweep by Utah. Can't wait to hear Neil's exit interview.

    Well, the Blazers can't close out another game and fall to the Grizzlies. They are now in 7th place. The Blazers Uprise Postgame Show will talk about what happened.

    Btw i am proud to say I haven't watched a single moment of the Blazers game on TV with the sound on. Jordan Kent is the worst one we have ever had and I refuse to listen with the sound on.

    Thank you, Travis.

    If I was Olshey I fire Stotts right now and hopefully it shake something up. What do you got to loose. Due this first time I seen Dame and CJ miss so much down the stretch I can't say it's on purpose but who knows if someone wants different direction want they will do.

    I see this team fall all the way down to 10 in west, just no way they hold.

    I’m telling you all, Dame is over Terry.

    I love basketball and the Blazers, but this team has worn me out. I think investing any hope, energy, or emotion in this team would be wasteful and foolish.

    The only saving grace is I’m not paying to watch this in person,

    What a brutal stretch.

    Norm with a wide open 3 or a CJ elbow jumper beats Boston
    Roco/CJ open court 2 on 1 against Jokic beats Denver

    Now tonight, after 2 wide open, no rim threes from Dame & CJ, you've got Nurk missing two attemps inside 2ft and Dame missing a late FT.

    Certainly don't expect all those things go our way, but I'd never expect to miss all those looks.

    I'm looking at the next 8 games:

    upload_2021-4-23_21-47-1.png

    the way Portland has been playing, I'm having a hard time seeing more than 2 wins; Memphis and Cleveland? Maybe Indiana?.

    the final 5 games aren't a cakewalk either. is it possible the Blazers end up a .500 team?

    74 points in the paint for the Grizzlies... Just embarrassing!

    I'm pretty certain that FT miss was deliberate

    No best case scenario stotts is canned in next 4 games. After loosing 4 games streight with razor thin margin we will loose next 4 games streight probably with blow outs. With month of April we will end up 3-13....including 8 game loosing streak and 12 loses out of 14........ (STOTTS would have to be fired)) Heading into May with opponets to play jazz, suns, nuggets lakers Celtics hawks spurs.
