Hell of a game to nationally televise.

And leave you left with nothing.

This team doesn't play with any heart on the road and it sucks to watch.

Really... I feel like they're playing their heart out tonight.... They're playing one of the 3 best teams in the NBA with like 3-4 of their top 7-8 players out... including the BY FAR best player.

There's an INSANE talent deficit on the court tonight. I think they're playing REALLY REALLY hard.

I'm not watching the game, but agree that a 10 point deficit against the form team of the NBA, at their home (which has a terrific home support presence), is a surprising and positive result, all things considered.

Might have been a close game with Dame but it'll be interesting to see run with Dame/Powell in the
back court and Little/Roco and Nurkic up front. Imagine that team if Zach had not gotten hurt (again)
slotting in up front for Portland is PF away from being a really competitive team. Unfortunately for
this season, the PF is in the 2022 draft.

Roco can go. Like asap. Bench him, whatever. Guy has the motor of a tricycle. Chauncey should be embarrassed giving him minutes. Start Nance ffs, he actually cares.

I suspect Roco will be gone at the trade deadline so as to get Portland under the tax line.

True, but the Warriors were playing largely with the intensity of an intra squad scrimmage.

Was a huge RoCo supporter, but he makes it hard this season. Not sure if it's Billups system or he's just done athletically.

Still don't get why Rondae Hollis-Jefferson wasn't retained. Cheap defensive spark plug.

It seems Roco has lost a lot of interest around the league. Portland would be better off simply letting him
walk in the off season for there are easier ways to get under the tax line.
