    One thing that always is bad about this team, they sometimes play like they believe their own press.

    You can't tell me this will be different in 5 days. Apparently Stotts elected to not change a thing.

    Have been a Blazer fan since I was a little tyke, but until CJ is off this team, it is just hard to enjoy watching them. His MeJ style of play is so opposite of what made me a Blazer fan. The passing and ball movement of the Walton teams and the passing/fast break style of the Drexler teams.

    CJ is a me-first, shoot-first, dribble-the-air-out-of-the-ball eye sore that just makes the Blazers unpalatable at times. Even when he makes shots, it's selfish style of play.

    I can’t tell if CJ is out of shape but he’s moving like a center out there.

    I was told things would be different tonight (and it's not because damian didn't play)

    End of the 1st quarter and we are not quite down 20! Moral victory!

    They destroyed us Wednesday. They are destroying us tonight. Back to back 41 pt 1st quarters. They look like the better team to me.

    Nurkic too. This whole team except dame is not good. I don’t know why dame is loyal to this franchise

    Ball hog CJ at his best/worst to end the quarter.

    Meanwhile, the Nuggets cut, pass, move and get such easy looks time after time.

    CJ has to go.

    Outside of Westbrook, CJ is the most selfish basketball player I have ever seen.

    Looks like we’re going to play a subpar 30 games while CJ works himself into shape. If Orlando would take CJ for Gordon I would ship him out in a second.
