On this diamond anniversary (look it up) edition of the Rip City Report, we spent most of the show discussing why the Trail Blazers have had such a hard go of it this season, though it's difficult to say that anyone really knows the the issue or issues which have led to Portland's 18-26 record, good for 9th in the Western Conference. We also ponder Portland's inconsistency, the organization honoring the 40th anniversary of the 1977 championship team next week and finish by answering your Twitter-submitted questions about whether the Trail Blazers still have a chance at the playoffs, whether the team needs to acquire a veteran leader, the team’s waning optimism, the best Portland beers to help forget the blowout losses and differences between covering a winning team and a losing team.
