The blazers announcers reminded me of pro wrestling

Thank you for pointing out that there is value to be gained from beating a team that handed us a historic 49 point loss on our season opener.

We're getting revenge on a team that humiliated us at the start of the season and is tied for 5th in the west, while doing it on the second night of a back-to-back and riding the efforts of our young players... you can't go 0-82 for the season and that's about as good a victory as you can ask for.

I guess Booker volunteered to be the latest tank commander.

spoke too soon about a win

Had a feeling we'd cough that lead up. They were only going to stay ice cold for so long.

Move from a generational talent in Ayton or Doncic to Jaren **** Jackson.

I used to think that way, now I don't really care. Most of these prospects won't be that good and every year experts get the draft wrong. Ayton could be the next Okafor/Greg Monroe for all I know.

I'll never forget Lakers and Philly fans chanting "Fail More For Okafor" for a whole year of pure basketball misery and he ends up like... that.

Morale victories aren't going to improve this team, a top 3 draft pick will. 75% of our team isn't nba quality.

McD needs to keep Booker, Jackson, Warren, and maybe Payton. The rest need to go

Payton needs to play with his hair not covering his face

Welp there goes the lead

Man why did Payton waste so much time on that possession, and going to Booker ball when we had a good lead

Ayton on fire tonight...probably a little pissed he was implicated in taking payment (which him and his family has said did not happen)...getting boos, etc..the team seems like they are coming together despite this..

17 pts, 11 reb, 2 blocks AT THE HALF. They were up big early but Oregon cut the lead....if interested in watching Ayton after the Suns game it's on espn...

And of course the Blazers tie it up.

We all know this team ain't getting a top 3 pick even with the worst record. 3 other teams will win the lottery.
