It looks like both Lillard and Grant are questionable to play tonight.

Need to lose as many games down the stretch.

I'd be fine drafting 6-7, for that might be enough to be in position to draft Jarace Walker,
who might be the second best big in this upcoming draft.

Go Chauncey! Literally no coach better at ripping a loss from the grips of a win.

Maybe its best to tank while not looking like you are trying to tank

Let’s all slow clap for Chauncey. That man knows how to lose a lead with the best of him.

If this isn’t the definition of losing a team, I don’t know what is.

Chauncey seems in over his head and the team knows it.

It'll be interesting to understand the dynamics in the locker room for Chauncey as an experienced
coaching staff for Scott Brooks and Roy Rogers have plenty of experience in the league. The team
is a number of poor fitting pieces for Nurk just hasn't been the same player he was prior to breaking
his leg. Team hasn't played well since Justice Winslow went down in late December and its likely
all but Dame have checked out for the season.

Makes you wonder if the team will once again clean house for they can dump much of this team
with Grant, Reddish (RFA), Thuybille (RFA), Winslow, Knox (TO), Eubanks all could be gone.

It’s rare for me…but I’m going in—EMBRACE THE TANK. There’s literally zero reason to try and bank wins at this point. Rest Lillard, and play Sharpe.

Blazers absolutely HAVE to get rid of Chauncey. A decent GM wouldn’t hurt, either. Probably won’t happen…
