Jerry Sloan doesn't look good

When you replace him with Meyers Leonard, that'll happen


sure...but Plumlee did a lot for the offense of Dame and CJ. He set good screens and found them in good scoring positions.


Nurk's like +17 and setting great screens. I think the obvious issue here is that when Meyers plays, this team can't do anything. He's THAT bad.

Nurkic is so much better than Leonard it isn't even funny.

It's INSANE. Nurkic's potential blows Plumlee out of the water IMO. Right now, he's a solid bit inferior, but he's also much better in quite a few aspects. Seeing a real full sized center with skill and potential is mind bending.

Well.. and Plumlee's wingspan, although that's part of the size equation. Hurd actually made a really great point to, about how a low post presence allows the guards to rest. Watching the amount of effort that Dame and CJ have to make all game long to get open looks exhausting.

The blazers raised my season ticket prices 140 dollars for this **** tastic team. I have never paid this much even when Roy oden and Aldridge where here

Our $19 million dollar man is 2-8 from the field with 5 points in 22 minutes so far.

Nurkic looks fantastic all things considered, and Pat is kinda growing on me.

He really needs to put in some major work this offseason. Feels like he didn't do **** to attempt to get better this offseason. Obviously that's complete conjecture on my part, but while he's shooting better I've noticed ABSOLUTELY NOTHING improve about his game overall.

Man... I kinda just wanna bench Lillard, he's just been so terrible overall since his ankle. This team has no chance of doing anything of significance this year, we need to find some way to keep our best players sidelined and tank.
