An injured Dame and a .500 team isn't doing anything for anyone. Just get Dame healthy, pray for a competent general manager and make moves at the deadline/draft.

They are cruising to big wins at home but for some **** reason can't capture even 1/3rd of that magic on the road.
I can't recall the last time a Blazer team started with a 5-1 record at home and an 0-5 record on the road through 11 games. I remember a super young Blazer team from like 12 years ago or something had a horrible road record and amazing home record to start but that didn't hold at all.

A middling lotto pick isnt pulling this team out of treading water. It might be the time to realize the ingredients just dont work and throw the whole dish out, IE full rebuild.
We played hard last night, we got decent bench production, we were not overly relying on ISO. And we still lost. Its a talent issue and an ingrained defensive issue. Its not going to change with a lotto pick.
I just dont know where we go from here. We are struggling to establish ourselves as a playoff team, not a contender or even a deep playoff team, but a low seed playoff team.
