I don’t know how your job is to shoot one of the easiest shots in basketball (wide open corner threes) and you’re as pathetic as Ferguson is at them

It's last season all over again. Getting blown out in game four on our home floor. Only difference is that last year we were able to steal game one on the road before Utah rattled off three straight comfortable wins against us.

Down 2-1 in a playoff series, game four on our home floor, and we're getting blown out.

Just...what the actual he**?!?!

PG misses an 8-footer over a dude 6-inches shorter than him.

Hood makes a tough pull-up jumper.

Schroder misses a driving layup.

Blazers hit another tough, contested mid-range jumper.


Down 19. Yep, this one is most definitely over.

How did we go 4-0 against this team in the regular season?

It makes no sense.

MPVG was a thing.

Ferguson wasn't a young kid playing his first playoff series.

70 points 39 minutes into the game.

We just really, really suck.

Cut it to 9 and the Blazers hit a few more 3s and stretch the lead back out to 17.


I can't believe how bad we are. This makes no sense.

Well next year I will act like Bondom and stop carrying about this team. I spend way too much time and energy with this team; they don't deserve it.

I don't blame them. They're playing tough defenders. Against a smart team Kanter would be played off the floor within minutes, but alas, you can't expect idiots to be smart. That's why they're idiots.

PG passes up an open dunk to Noel who gets swatted.

This team is so stupid.

PG13's BBIQ is probably the worst aspect of his game

What will it take for the people in the Peak to actually voice their displeasure? Down 18 and they're cheering. Years of indoctrination finally paying off.

Grant playing over Adams Presti finally getting his wish. This was the plan for years.

So what we can get by trading PG13 and Russ?

Grant could have some trade value as well

- Three out of four games we've failed to crack 100 points.

- Down 3-1 in the series to a team without their third best player.

- Down 3-1 in the series to a team we went 4-0 against in the regular season.


Donovan and Presti both need to go. Presti clearly has no idea how to build a roster suited for today's NBA and the playoffs, and Donovan is just a moron.
