    Honestly, that first 6 games could very easily by 0-6, if they continue with this kind of effort.

    What the fuck are you talking about. Morris ran into him and flopped. CJ didn't do shit...

    Sometimes it's not if they lose, it is HOW they lose....and this is lazy, selfish and ugly.

    He constantly makes “plays” that are on the borderline of being construed as dirty. I don’t believe he’s trying to hurt people out there but he keeps putting himself into these grey areas and it’s not helping his case.

    I just looked at the clock and saw that there is still another quarter to go.

    Why...why...

    Melo wasn't going to give that up but finally after being triple teamed, gave it up.

    Yet no cutters to the basket when the rest of the floor was 4-on-2.

    When did the Blazers become the Space Jam storyline?

    Also, our players ALMOST never cut. They all often choose to go OVER the screen instead of going for the cut.

    Such a waste with gifted passers like Nurk and Giles.

    Some people acting amazed of how bad our defense is when we were 27th in the league in it last season. We added big time defensive players.

    Is it possible the team's coaching may have something to do with it? Or, it a really radical idea?

    Seems like it's the Medicare for all for some posters.

    90% of my disgust/anger over loses, isn't that, but how.

    If they lose because they played a hard fought game, I'm less pissed, i.e., disappointed in the loss, not the team. If they lose games where they just play like ass, I'm more disappointed in the team than the loss.

    I have a suggestion for the team. They should leave three point shooters *wide open*.

    This team reminds me so much of the 12-13 Lakers team with Dwight and Nash. Too many egos and too many mouths to feed with players that weren’t as good as their reputations. That team tanked in preseason and everyone said they would be fine.

    They better get synced up, or it’s going to be a nightmare start to the season.
