  1. I’m looking forward to all the home games during January. This December road trip has been really rough.

  2. nimbly118

    I’m choosing not to be discouraged. Hard to win in Denver where we’ve only won like 30% of the time. Not the best road trip but 3 of these losses felt close, we could be in a worse spot.

  3. aznthomastran

    Gotta get the next 4 against weak competition

  4. ChurroMemes

    Dame doesn’t deserve this man. This team is gonna need a lot of fixing, and I don’t even know how.

  5. Ishfluent

    This team has a coaching problem. If your goal is to win a championship there is absolutely no reason to hire a rookie coach.

  6. majorUser590

    Those ~ten points that we lost in the non Jokic minutes in the first ended up being the difference in this game. Would you look at that

  7. a damn shame we got dame playing 39,38 and 39 minutes this roady and we are still 0-3

  8. Bieberkinz

    This has been a not so fun lead in to Christmas for Blazer fans.

  9. pdxscout

    That foul on the weird leg-kick was BS. Otherwise, an overall disappointing effort.

  10. PheonixHeat2007

    We’ve gotta do something, this isn’t working

  11. Ishfluent

    This team has to many good offensively players to play ISO ball as much as they do. Chauncey needs to run more sets and stop chasing mismatches.

  12. Blazercaster

    Folks, I’m not a Simons believer. Too many games where he doesn’t find any positive way to impact the game, despite his poor defense and perhaps league worst rebounding.

  13. FillmoreKyeuters

    How do you not overreact to the way the team has played and been coached? Long season but good teams take hard looks in the mirror and make aggressive move BEFORE it’s too late (aka 3 seasons too late on trading CJ). Running dame and ant clearly isn’t working and Chauncey’s coaching has been more and more questionable

  14. Ishfluent

    There is no reason that Jabari Walker doesn’t get a chance to play. Our bench is already a complete disaster.

  15. dikdikersen

    Can’t expect to win games allowing 58% from the field

  16. trippptrs

    The offense has got to be better if they want to be competitive in these games.

  17. WizDog69

    Trade everyone excluding dame for Gianni’s. Merry Christmas.

  18. Ishfluent

    Ant isn’t a PG. let’s completely end that experiment now. He has absolutely no idea how to run an offense.

  19. BlackSocks88

    Nothing upset me more than Murray getting bailed out on that 3 pointer.

    He kicked his legs into Harts space. Hart wasnt going to hit him otherwise. Bullshit call and the refs double down on it.

  20. BrklynDragon

    If we aren’t trading simons, get an actual back up point guard to play with him. He’s not a point guard, he is killing us. He cannot defend, and he cannot score when dame is playing with him. We are going to re-up this delusion for another 8 years and I’m sick of it.

    the offense literally doesn’t make it past the 3 pt line whenever simons is running it. He can’t do it.

    No. Other. Good. Team. Is. structured. This. Way.
    None. Nobodies ever won a chip playing a backcourt like this and it’s obvious why. If the FO is committed to winning, move him AND sharpe for a real talent at the wing spot.

  21. LimpRocket

    I can’t put my finger on it but I feel like we just looked really bad out there… wtf happened in the third q?

  22. toadtruck

    I’m kinda done with losing to division opponents. Shit sucks

  23. PM_IF_YOU_LIKE_TRAPS

    Watfords contract is ageing like a nice bottle of heritage 91. Despite the loss hes such an incredible silver lining

  24. catlikethief_118

    – Live by the 3 die by the 3.
    – Nurkic fouling out was expected…he can’t guard bigs
    – Simons has his highs and lows…this was a low
    – no bench help…injuries hurting the team still

  25. ugly ugly basketball aside the blazers are still above .500 with the most road games played in the league

    theres still some hope if they pull their heads out of their asses

  26. GlueGuy00

    Grant needs more shots especially when Simons is shooting cold. No need to force feed Simons when Grant has been playing good. Let Grant shoot 15+ a game.

  27. Psychokittens

    Everyone head over to watch the Lakers and Suns get destroyed. I can promise you much more happiness.

  28. WillhelmAuersperg

    We just swapped places with the Nugs to put them on top of the team 3pt% list with our exhibition of shooting skill.

  29. tuckerchiz

    Our goal should be 6th seed and thats well in our grasp

  30. kokomoji

    if your shot isn’t falling, please try and do something else to get you going. 1-10 on 3s is gross as hell.

  31. alandwarinasia_

    dame and josh are carrying us so hard its insane. im ready to trade ant

  32. masta_wayne__

    Our bench is embarrassingly bad. Eubanks is not an nba player, Shaedon needs g league time, Trendon isn’t really league material. Jody and Joe Cronin gotta get serious about this team or just sell this joke of a team

  33. bennymartian86

    Simons gotta be traded. And they gotta find a way to play some goddamn defense.

  34. Can we find a team stupid enough to take Simmons?

  35. rock-or-something

    Am I insane for thinking ant isnt this cornerstone franchise piece of the future?

    I would way rather start Hart at the 2 and use ant in a big trade for a wing.
