    not much more the Blazers can do to hand games to other teams. This game points out how bad other teams are

    Williams had to come back next year.
    For a rookie he’s confident and super quick.

    Just how fast is Williams? He seems awfully quick to me. Sure some of it is just effort but is he quicker than average?

    is it so hard for Portland to tank they will have to come up with an injury for Brandon Williams?

    Last game of a winless 5 game road trip.

    Second night of a b2b.

    Top 5 leading scorers missing.

    Up 20.

    How would you like to be the Pistons, playing a significant number of decent, young players you figure will fill about half of their rotation moving forward, and you're losing in the third quarter by double figures at home to Drew Eubanks, CJ Elleby and Elijah Hughes?

    One thing, I think anyone who thinks Chauncey doesn't have the chops by now to be a top coach needs to be cognitively evaluated. We keep having to give guys phantom injuries because he finds ways to get severely undermanned teams to compete too often for us to feel comfortable with the tank.

    wut?

    Portland landed Dame with a high draft pick...you don't want any part of that? You wouldn't want any part of Cade Cunningham?...or Saddiq Bey (I guess he's not that high of a draft pick)

    I know that but we git Dame without being a habitual tanker. Cunningham is a nice player for sure.

    I don't think anybody is suggesting Portland should become a habitual tanker. What many are suggesting, including myself, is that the best result for this season isn't a half dozen or so absolutely meaningless wins in the last third of this season, but rather the best chance at lottery position.

    Portland's problem is that they didn't start tanking early enough
