We Are Horrible

[YB85]

You know what would have made this team even better? Having a bunch of D-League rejects out there. Those guys would have really helped the Jazz and I look forward to the numerous homey posts saying the Jazz should sign them.

Lottery here we come. Hopefully we can trade Jefferson for some picks before the rest of the world realizes that he sucks.

Good thing you didn't overreact.

Right now the quality of the DLeague is worse than it was last year. A lot of players that would normally be there are either overseas or are in NBA camps waiting to be cut. Soooo that quality is way down. When the NBA teams make their cuts I will be putting homey garbage on the board once again.

What they are saying about Jazz.

They had a rotten time on the visit. They were whipped, tossed around, and finished off. Probably explains why the Utah Jazz slogged off the Rose Garden Arena court and headed through the tunnel toward the bus home with hardly a word.

Oh, Derrick Favors didn't look all that sad. He had 25 points and 12 rebounds. He smiled, a little. But his teammates looked like a line of souls who had just been sent home after an evening shoveling burning coal in an uncomfortably warm corner of basketball hell.

Portland clubbed Utah 110-90. But that look in the eyes of the Jazz players was all anyone needed to see.

And never mind that the Jazz are in shambles. The Blazers did exactly what you'd expect a good team to do to a lousy team.

Our offense will be fine once we work out the kinks but I'm not so sure about defense. We just don't have good defensive players... Teams like the Thunder are going to go off against us.

Where is Fess?

I think the most glaring problem for the team is the lack of any kind of cohesiveness. It just looks like a cobbled together mess; they don't seem to be communicating, there is no leadership, and many of the parts seem to be forced into a role that doesn't suit them. If KOC and Corbin don't just say let's scrap the season, use the time to get our young players some chemistry together, and hope for a decent pick in the lottery next year, we could be looking at a very long rebuilding process. Jefferson, Harris, Bell, CJ, Memo, and Howard should not be in our long term plans, and should be traded or see decreased minutes, with the exception of Harris, because we have no other real option.

Yes we are horrible but give credit to the Blazers. They looked good.

Blazers were making everything, open shots, contested shots, and all the circus shots. They ran their offense better, were more aggressive on defense. The Blazers treated this game like a real game we didn't.
