The Tank is Officially On for the Portland Trail Blazers: It's Shaedon Sharpe Time



The Portland Trail Blazers have officially given up on the season and are playing for lottery position.

The Blazers dropped two games over the weekend. They lost to the Bulls on Friday and Oklahoma City on Sunday. The show opens with a quick recap of those two games.

Tanking Stinks. But it’s the right thing to do. It’s okay to think both of those things at the same time.

How to watch the final eight games of the season. What’s important when watching a team that is intentionally hoping to lose games. Hint: Shaedon Sharpe.

    Called the tank 2 months ago. Everyone was like, “Nah, they just got a really bad coach”

  5. Chris Simmons

    The Thunder had 6 fraudulent points, so this game is still tied and we're still waiting for Overtime.

    First they got 3 points on a possession that resulted from an incorrectly called out of bounds ball that literally bounced of a Thunder players hands

    Then they got a 3 pointer on a possession that started with the player who brought the ball in shoving one of our players down and not getting an offensive foul.

    The only reason i'm not spamming on social media that the Thunder won fraudulently is because the Blazers took choking lessons from the NFL's Falcons and lost multiple games either against inferior competition (like the Nets and Magic in Portland) or by going up big and blowing it (Knicks, 76ers, LA Slippers, and 2nd Nuggets game in Portland).

    I stop watching weeks ago really think that Jody Allen don't want spend and joe Chauncey just not answer fire them both Jody Allen sell team

    Tanking is so much easier on me as a fan now that we’ve pulled the plug. Before, I was actively rooting against us, and I hated it. Now, I fully expect us to lose even if we get hot and go up 12 in the first quarter, so I root for our guys without worrying much about that. Even if we win, having it happen because Shae and Nas and Trendon are starting to figure it out is much more palatable than winning because Dame did what we all knew he could do and carried a bad team to wins

  14. Jonathan Evers

    The “winning culture” argument only really applies to teams like the Orlando Magic. They’re a young team who’s just starting to figure it out that straight up just needs reps to get better. The experience their young guys gain from trying to win over the final 10 games is more value than a 3% greater chance at getting Wemby or a 10% greater chance at getting Amen Thompson instead of Anthony Black. Damian Lillard and Jerami Grant are not going to get better at basketball by trying to win these 10 games. So I totally agree

  15. CryptoAK

    According to joe, we knew this wasnt gonna be "that" team, meaning this entire season should have been used to improve Sharpe Watford Nas and walker. Spending 90% of this season not knowing which direction to take has been the most frustrating thing to me.

  16. DaletterO

    Shaedon has ways to go to become a good defender but he is becoming good at stopping straight line drives. Already better doing that than Dame and Ant imo.
