The last 8 games, 1 win and 7 losses, lost to the pants are gone.
The Blazers are currently 3.5 wins behind the Thunder, 10th in the West, which means they can basically miss the playoffs.
It is a pity that even if it is rotten now, it will not be possible to have the fragments of the Venbanyama Horse, who let the spurs and rockets in the same west be far ahead.
It's equivalent to this season being empty and working for so long.
It just so happens that Coach Lee recently suffered a calf injury and missed his last game against the Bulls.
So to avoid unnecessary serious injuries, the Blazers plan to let the veteran off for the remaining nine regular-season games.
To put it simply, Leigh ended the season early and can now find a vacation place to go fishing.
Why say again? Because he didn't make the playoffs last season, he was all turned away from the playoffs for two consecutive years.
If the Blazers are not effectively strengthened this summer, they may be directly rotten next season and only fight for the top signing.
Even if the coach is still proud, he still has a super level, averaging a career-high 32.2 points plus 4.8 boards and 7.3 assists per game this season.
He must also want to give reliable teammates to labor and management to wrestle with any team in the league.
This happens to be the most dangerous, when a leader and the team have a disagreement in team building philosophy, it is often seen as the biggest obstacle and sweeps the door.
Coach Leigh is already a representative of one man and one city, and the Blazers are also kind to him, and they can't give him a championship, but they offer the best treatment in the league, the former 25-27 season salary combined exaggerated $122 million.
But the premise is to be obedient, retire with peace of mind, and bring new people, and continue to bring box office to the team, why not?
However, judging from Lee's past speeches, he has been more severely criticized in the NBA for today's championship-only atmosphere some time ago, and he seems to be chasing championships as strongly as before.
Perhaps defeated by reality, the opponent is too strong, and he does not want to leave, then there is no other way but to lie flat.
Coach Leigh, who is 33 years old this summer, really can't get up, and leaving the NBA with the title of uncrowned king is the foreseeable future!
