Because we are 5-18. We don't have any star players, and we have no chance at the playoffs this year and possibly next(I think we should be a playoff team next year).

There's this stupid tendency for people you ask to say "This is a football town." Like that's some official title that precludes going to basketball games too. It won't change for another generation or so with the team staying here. Kids love basketball, but they need time to get older and have kids of their own to love basketball before it truly starts to take.
Greivis rushed the first play. gotta run it down so worst case they cant get a good look... especially with the foul to give
Dumb play... still, nice effort.
Portland always has great crowds, though.
Whatever play we drew up, the lob to Thomas was all we could get. Oh well. Suck it up. Played our hearts out but lost. Davis took his lumps, but in what you might call a bad game, he still put up numbers.
He's gonna be just fine. Better than fine, really.
Ehh those million turnovers we had early came back to haunt us. This is the effort i want to see though that was a good comeback by a young team.
Typical Pelicans.
hornets 1-point loss, less than a minute after Tom Brady keeps his TD streak alive in the 4th.
I see it's still 2012.
Lillard pretty much ROY this year. Only way anybody else can win it is if Lillard gets hurt.
Monty had wrong personnel on defense at the end. He needed more athleticism.
Davis having more games like he did against the Bucks, Spurs, and Bobcats would give him the nod over Lillard. But he'd need to have those games frequently and Lillard's game is far more matured, so he's just built to come in and score right away.
I only needed to watch ONE Weber State game to know Lillard was gonna be a pain in our asses if we didn't draft him. Dude has "It." Point blank.
What I'm saying is sort of in a time stable, vacuum, disregarding the level of team play.
If Davis' game matures faster than expected, we hit our next draft in a big way and get either more of our Gordon, which is basically ANYTHING out of Gordon, thereby turning the team into contenders, it'd speed it up considerably. And we'd have more sellouts. When we were competitive during the CP3 years, we would have some raucous crowds.
