Deni needs to sit.
The guy is obviously injured.
refs are unwatchable
Deni needs to take this time the team is missing players anyway and sit out some games.
The dude he's limping at one point or another almost every game now.
I'm sorry but kris and Ryan Rupert don't belong even in the back of the roster of any team in the best league in the world. Hell, they wouldn't be starters in a top tier Greek, Spanish, Israeli or Turkish team.
Grizzlies have guys out with injuries too. Every team deals with injuries. This isn't the first Cronin year where half the team is on the IR. It's kinda been a theme for the previous 4 straight losing seasons. .. "Let's draft !!"
I think the Blazers front office did a solid job getting talent for the 1-10 roster spots, the rest is just one of the worst in the league.
Other than drafting them, I don't see why they're sticking with Rupert and Murray.
Straight out laziness.
The two-way players – not good.
We saw it in the preseason, that the deep bench is getting destroyed by other teams benches.
They can easily make moves on those roster spots.
There are a lot of young, hungry basketball players vying for an NBA roster spot.
We see a lot of random players pop, and it's not a coincidence – the talent level rises.
On the positive note – the last month was brutal in every possible way for the Blazers, and they are pretty much on the same win rate of the previous season. However…
They already played 15 road games (only 9 home games), with the next game being on the road as well.
Played mostly top 6 teams (in each conference), looked very competitive against most of them, lost a couple on the buzzer…
So many things working against them, and still they scraped some wins against solid teams.
One can hope their luck begins to shift. They are better than their record at the moment.
