    Do you really see the roster as being that out of sorts? I mean they went against a team that's considered to be co favorites to win it all. Yes they had 3 key guys out Leonard, Harrell, and Bev. But the Blazers were missing Whiteside, Ariza, and Hood. If both teams are healthy it's gonna be a battle royal. It's not like the Blazers were dominate the whole game. The Blazers controlled the lead most of the way, and it took multiple things to go right for the Clips to win today. Like CJ's fouls, Dame's FT misses, and a double digit FT attempt advantage to name a few.

    We were up 5 with just over a minute left. CJ refused to pass to an open Gary Trent Jr. He passed the ball the opposite way and it ended in a turnover. The Clipper fast breaked and CJ fouled. He is a terrible defender and is selfish. I agree he and Lillard are redundant because they both need the ball.

    If you’re going to use the marriage analogy, if your wife was an alcoholic, you wouldn’t want her to change and improve herself? Or are you just going to sit idly and do nothing?? Being supportive and wanting someone to improve themselves aren’t mutually exclusive.

    It says we can use a move or two and are sorely missing Ariza and hood. Who would be the guys guarding pg btw.

    doesn't mean blow the team up and if Dame doesn't play well, we lose.

    I am a bigger Blazer fan than anyone. I am so pissed that we lost because I am invested in the team. I will always root for the Blazers. I will always support them. But, as a fan I can show my anger too

    you gonna have a quick line building looking to question that first sentence!

    Also if you don't feel the exact same as certain fans, then you aren’t a fan at all. You aren't allowed your own emotions and you must be robotically positive at all times or you just aren't a fan!

    lmao! That was a piss poor analogy. The Blazers are in no way equivalent to an alcoholic. Besides, as a fan, I have no control over what decisions the Blazers make as I can cry from the top of Mt. Tabor and it wouldn't make a bit of difference.

    no you aren't, and making that comment is very offensive to the rest of the fans. I saw a few posts of yours giving up on the season also and anger leads to irrationality and poor decisions. It's better to keep the emotions under control.

    WRONG and where did I say anything about an alcoholic? Here's a clue, I didn't, you did. You simply twisted my analogy into your own so that's on you, not me.

    Blazers fans meet at Mt. Tabor and decide who's the g
    Plus he agreed with Shit Bayless. That's grounds for Blazer Fan demotion right there.

    Well here comes all negatives commits I still Zach going good ball player he made some good defense stops at the rim. 7 points 7 rebounds 1 block 1 turnover +8. He was playing on the point guard at the start of the game. Now do I think 1/2 step slow sometimes sure. Does need continue get stronger sure. But you who I am blaming is olshey we got 6 players contribute anything and one game Whiteside came to play. We go from 6th player to 12-15 player on team coming off the bench. Olshey had chance to sign a couple good players and he just sign g-league player. Olshey dealt Stotts a bad hand for this bubble.

    Yes, I am. Sorry, if my Fanhood offends you. I have never given up. I have gotten angry. I have been dissappointed. That is part of Fanhood. But, I am always here rooting for the Blazers, louder than anyone.
