    Dame has his best game of the year (40 and 10)

    And we still lost by 20.


    We need LOTS of help. Through the draft. Trade. SOMETHING. Dame did right tonight, the rest of the team just... no.

    That this team lacks talent.

    12 of the 15 players on this roster can't create their own shot.

    Our two best players have identical games.

    Neil is great for tanking.

    Considering CJ had a really tough shooting night, I wasn't all that disappointed with where the Blazers are at. There's an obvious need for a scoring big man, and a bit more help off the bench, but I don't think you can read that much into this one game.

    Yep. We all love CJ, but he's just not that long for this team.

    We're a naked man with two gold watches. Sure, those watches are pretty, but aren't we all a little tired of everybody staring at our junk?

    Maybe we ought to take one of those watches and trade it for something else, because there's only so much time you need.

    That Warriors team is amazing to watch..credit them for putting it all together. They're kickin' every team's butts..CJ cannot guard Klay Thompson

    But I thought we were "better" than last season's team?

    How are we naked? We have players at every posiion, at least above-average players. You think Meyers can't become another offensive weapon? We have Alexander who's not even getting minutes and I think deserves them, we have Frazier getting only injury insurance or garbage minutes when he should surely play at least some of the minutes Dame and CJ are on the bench.
    Roster wise, talent wise, the only thing that's tanking with this team are the fans. We have a 1-2 punch in the backcourt that is inferior maybe only to Golden-State's and we have much room to grow. We have many options in the front-court and at least a decent SF rotation. The weak links with this team aren't the players, we don't need a trade, we need a better coach and we need the fans to get their acts together and since Stotts has become somewhat of a consensus we actualy need him to become a better coach

    Still a good baromoter, I think. I knew we were gonna get destroyed, but like that?

    We have Dame... I'm not worried about him... it's the rest of the team. There's some work to be done. I'm actually excited about it, to be honest!
