Nice block by Simons

What a bunch of knuckleheads besides Dame, Dame close to a franchise record and we are down 3.

This games not over, but Blazers need a shakeup for next game. I would put Bazemore in the starting lineup and might move Simons ahead of Hood in the rotation.

What happened to Hood? I haven't seen him since I started watching the game.

Lillard 19 of 33 in this game for 60 points the rest of the team, 21 of 64 in this game for 55 points. Umm can we get him some actual **** shooters please?

**** we should have kept Meyers Leonard at least we could depend on him to hit some shots.

It's so upsetting to see Dame play so well and then to see these kinds of games from CJ.

Headed for the lotto? This team just isn't fun to watch, if they continue to play with this level of "heart" I'm beginning to hope they suck bad enough to blow it up.. Team meeting and they didn't improve anything, in fact they actually look worse

I'm starting to think the rumors of Whiteside being a team cancer are true. We are depleted no doubt but can't even win with Dame putting up 60? Gimme a break

While Whiteside has not been great we got 0 from everyone else on the team offensively almost. Little and a few others that only took like 1 or 2 shots were mildly effective anyone that took over 10 shots had a pretty horrid shooting night beyond Lillard.

It’s still early, but this early trend of Portland losing a bunch of close games in which they lead (sometimes substantially) in the 4th quarter is no fun.

Very true. I'm more disgusted by this team than I have been in a long time. Depleted or not Dame got no help today and that's inexcusable. CJ re upped and he looks like a seth curry level player this year. If this trend continues he will be our new favorite player to hate on.

Our offense is not clicking and the defense hasn't looked good since we lost Collins.

Anyways hopefully this gives Little more run out there he looked very good and was showing a lot of energy but not trying to overdo it. He wasn't committing the cardinal sin you see from most rookies where they try to show off way too much and overdo it.

Well if portland loses enough that could work out well. Imagine if they get a top draft pick and then have nurkic and collins ready to go next season. As well as give simons and little and skal and hezonja time to get better. but i think it's more likely that they will find a way to make the playoffs this season.

Meh a little early for that talk, they are not looking great right now but Houston sucked ass in the first 10-15 games of last season and yet they won 53 games same as us.

Starting to feel like we COULD end up just tanking. Half the team depleted & really not much depth here. Olshey got an extension but really he's got to be blamed for the fact that we couldn't retain our depth. ET haunts us as a ghost with the money on the books as even a BAE would've been a huge tool for netting some depth but instead we wound up close to the apron letting guys go. We have every right to be furious with the situation that he got us into

Right but if they did pull a top draft pick that would be sort of like what the spurs did to get duncan. I think its more likely they will be in the playoffs or get like a 8- 10th pick.

Yeah unfortunately I don't think we are bad enough to fall to the bottom. An 8 pick tends to be a crapshoot, and 8-20 doesn't get you a top talent anyhow.

I think unless Nurk comes back and can stay healthy consistently we are not a championship team (duh). So a high pick would be a consolation prize that might be nice to have. But then again if we end up with a high pick whos to say we don't just blow this thing up since that'd say a lot about the state about the team?

The good news is perhaps we finally look for a CJ deal if things get bad. But if we lose a bunch of games I doubt CJ's value will be phenomenal.
