Feel sorry for Collins really do

f*** him. He should have taking a contract similar to Sabonis.

We can't win with our best player as one the least efficient players in the NBA. Sorry.

Keep Kanter off the offensive glass and we should be good...

I rarely self-quote but we didn’t do this.  He had 6, and was likely the catalyst for a lot of the other 11 the Blazers had.  Damn.

Trae really losing me this year. He looking more and more like Stephon Marbury 

Me and you both i am one of his biggest supporters but the crap im seeing from him right now is not what he should be turning into as a player.  I honestly feel he is regressing instead of improving as he is way to talented to be fishing for fouls and whining all the time about it.  Plus his vision and field general of seeing things and making the right shots and passes were better last year as well.   Im honestly down on Luka as well as he is starting to do very similar things to what Trae is doing.  Both of them imo are soft and cry to much and i hope as they grow and mature they both grow out of that crap.

He

Can't

Do

That

 

Who is he going to play?  Rondo and Goodwin?  If either guy were good enough to run the team successfully, they'd get plenty of PT to do it.

This is not High School. Coaches can't just sit their superstar down because they're not playing well. Both coach and player get paid far too much to do that.  They simply need to figure it out.

Yup but this is really bad I mean he’s going to get called out in the film session again and someone need to call LP out for trusting Hill so late in the game mind as well had played huerter .

i really wish I knew what is up with Trae 

[Marvin24Williams]

What the hell is up with Trae in the clutch this year. He's been absolutely awful in running the team down the stretch

I just don’t understand what’s up with Trae this season. He played a lot better tonight just because he was his typical aggressive self offensively but still made boneheaded plays.

the boneheaded plays didn’t come until the 4th though which is the worse time to be taking risk 

Bro, his shot is broke. It's been broke all year including preseason where he had a 6 PIE. Cam had a 5.9 PIE for his entire rookie year just to show you how bad Trae preseason was. He hasn't shot well at all this year. 3pt shot, broke. Floater, broke. He just can't get in rhythm. He scored a lot tonight but it was mainly free throws and jacking up shots. Portland perimeter defense is ass and he still couldn't make them pay.

Bruno on the sideline like . .

He played soft as shit tonight. Capela was clearly a man out there. He wasn't getting bullied by Giles, old ass Melo, and Covington.

I'm a Collins defender, but I was disappointed in his play tonight. 

If he wants that money next summer, he must be more aggressive and decisive when he gets the ball.

[benhillboy]

Dunn was supposed to test Trae in practice and fight for some of his minutes as an alternative when Trae gonna Trae.  Without that we’re just in bad shape, let alone missing Cam’s length for Lilliard.

[Bonkers]

Dre deserves more touches and FGAs than Trae!!!!!

I was worried in the preseason. Ya'll told me, he just needs the regular season. I didn't agree but it seemed correct in the first three games. Then Steve Nash happened.

[bleachkit]

Blazers didnt have CJ in the second half either.

Is it due to the 8-9 month layoff ???? 
 

i don’t want to give him an excuse but I also don’t want to overreact and call for trading him like some fans are starting to do. But man I can’t take it. Trae need to get his floater working first and then worry about the 3 ball later and not take the deep 3s at ALL.

Trae knows he’s off too I can see it in his face.
