Trade the vets that everyone knows we gotta get rid of and continue to tank this season so we can get some decent picks this off season and create some competition for guys like scoot and shae so they don’t become complacent, hope that either those two take a step next season or that our new picks will show serious potential. It’s all built on luck and hope
I can't argue with that since the vets are not helping them win games. Basically this team cannot shoot. Teams are backing off and daring them to shoot the three. Ant is not a playmaker and since he's not shooting well he may as well be on the bench. He has to go but we have to be comfortable that we won't get a lot for him. I
Let's be honest. Billups was out coached by an interim head coach on Friday. Aside from the pour challenge call, San Antonio ran the same iso play to Wemby in the paint 3 times in the last 2 minutes and got beat on it each time.
Man I have little confidence in this rebuild. Coaching and front office both worry me, as well as their being no actual committed ownership. Also, I have serious doubts about Scoot becoming a good player in the league. I’ve been a big believer in Scoot, but he does not look good at all. I’m concerned he will not pan out to much, but I hope I’m wrong.
Questions about coaching and the FO make sense but I don’t really understand the ownership angle, the blazers are coming off of basically a decade of being in the luxury tax and being one of the most expensive teams in the NBA year over year even when there wasn’t really much of a reason to be. Jody Allen goes to lots of games and is around the team a lot. Having a “cool” owner that yells at games or spends lots of money on a shiny new stadium (Ballmer) doesn’t necessarily mean they are a good owner… if anything the fact that Jody has left the team to manage itself is probably a good thing when overzealous owners sometimes get in the way of their own management on some important decisions
Plus, who would Oregonians even want to buy the team anyway? Phil Knight is the name that has been romanticized but he’s almost 90 years old and we’ll be right back to this same discussion in a couple of years. The only other local name with ownership level money is Jensen Huang, but he doesn’t seem like a guy who would be interested in owning a sports franchise
Durant 3 point 1/8,or loss would've been worse Deni & Cling led in turnovers. Cling 9 shots for 10 points far worse than Ayton middys. Watch the "L"s pile up Shae fall well short of his talent, no doubt. Looks switched off
Clingan shot 55%, that is not bad especially considered two of his shots were completely wide open 3s… not great shots but what is the point of “development” if you don’t let guys try things out
While Nurk was busy getting a solid double double....ayton was writing his memoirs on his inflatable bed "I have nothing left to prove"....while patiently waiting for the next snow day to miss practice. My comedic genius aside this franchise is like a QFC ready made birthday cake for $19.99.......filled with maggots. FO, trash. Hugstable Chaunc, trash. Simons, big trash. Only solution is to disassociate from basketball played in Portland Oregon.
Ant has to go.. scoot & shae are takin to much of a backseat, how can you build?

Why can’t anyone else see how much better this team is with Scooter running the offense?
Remember when Scooter was Gona be the next superstar in the league? Surpassing Dame that didn’t age well
Once the vets are gone and they bring in some talented youth, the team will be fine.

@@johnnyhawthorne4029 Given how much they loose already, I’d rather start scoot then play Ant honestly. Even though I don’t have high hopes for scoot
they told us Chauncey drew up a terrific play for Deni's half court heave. It was a high percentage prayer. Any and all credit goes to Coach Billups
I'm gonna get real optimistic:
Blazers will pick up three more wins in the month of December!

Has a challenge Billups ever taken been successful?
He won one Sunday night.
Will Scoot ever become a basketball player
50/50 remember when he was suppose to be a superstar!!!
Blazers are 3-1 with Scoot running the show and 5-17 with Ant running the show.
Scoot wasn't playing better. both aren't playing well.
Scott Foster hates CP3 so I wasn’t surprised by the quick ejection
Scott Foster was not officiating the game.
@ somebody behind me kept yelling “Scott Foster!!!” when cp3 got his techs so I just assumed it was him lol

Go with God 100%
other then the Wizards are worse... we're running out of comps
You must have a box
Why so negative?

If you think that Deni and Clingan are what's wrong with this team, I suggest you find a new hobby...
