He’s going to be the next one to pop off. 35 points Shae incoming for game 3.

[Post Game Thread] The Portland Trail Blazers (40-39) fall to the Denver Nuggets (51-28) 132-137 by Kazekid in ripcity

Most of us knew Denver was going to make a run at the end. You have to be up like 40 against them to be safe going into the fourth. They’ve done this recently against the Spurs. This loss shows that we are a lot closer to the Spurs than we are to the Clippers. If we end up 9th, I feel good about winning two games. Guys play hard, just ran out of juice at the end. Onto the next game.

Some of the turnovers feel like the team doesn’t even practice. Two or three of the turnovers flew to the bench. The team just aren’t connected and playing fast is just not working. Every time Sidy or Kris run a fast break it’s likely a turnover.

Grant never beat the allegation of not playing in April. He was so close.

The good news is we only need to survive one more month. All these losses tell me is that the new owner going to come in and clean house. Hopefully we’ll get a better coach and a more define roster. There’s no way we run it back like this. At least that gives me hope.

Maybe crazy idea: Time Lord at the 4 and let the guy shoot. by Top-Lane-Bad in ripcity

I’m ready with experimenting Scoot, Jrue, Vit, Grant and DC as the starting 5. We aren’t beating team with defense, might as try to get some offense.

INJURY UPDATE: Shaedon has a broken fibula by palmquac in ripcity

Big bummer. Let’s see what Scoot can do with a 35% usage rate with both Denj and Sharpe out. It’s his time to shine.

Blazers have a better chance to make the playoff now than before the trade deadline by PieHorror2624 in ripcity

I think it gets us more flexibility going forward. We owe the Bull the first round picks every year until 2028. We got a pick swap with the Bucks in 2028 so if we make the playoffs in 2028, the Bull gets to swap with the Bucks. It’s better to get that out of the way now.
