    We have enough offensive firepower off the bench now. They need a junkyard dog.

    We will have a bench as long as our young guys can be somewhat consistent. If they can't be, then we are still better than last year I guess but that's not saying much.

    I see Robinson filling in that role.

    You prob didn't see the addition to my post.

    Mainly because we as fans are still discussing whose option are we going to pick up or who will be the first off the bench. Thomas should be beyond this IMO.

    I think the bench scored over 50pts again tonight. That's amazing

    CJ definitely has a future in broadcasting once he caps his NBA career.

    So it seems all we need to do is hit our threes at 68% to win. Easy

    I think Wheels just said we shot 68% from 3pt range, that's crazy good

    The bench might be good enough to give the starters actual rest... 30-33mpg for the starters?!

    Couple of takes from the game tonight.
    CJ is doing very well and has gone from a possible contributor to a definite contributor.
    Allen Crabbe is coming along nicely. Looks like he could become a very nice shooter behind Nic/Wes. His defense is also above average.
    There has been a opportunity for Barton to deliver but IMO CJ has taken the reins and most likely will be a better option off the bench.

    I see 35-38 for Lillard, Batum and LA. 30 for Wes and 26-28 for Lopez is a good possibility though. Rotation should be this:

    Lillard (35) / Blake (13)
    Wes (30) / McCollum (18)
    Batum (35) / Barton (13)
    Aldridge (35) / Robinson (13)
    Lopez (28) / Kaman (20)

    I honestly think Barton should play back up 3. He should learn to play the point forward role like Batum. CJ should be the first guard off the bench.

    I agree but he might get some stiff competition from Crabbe before this is over. Allen is a way better shooter and for this offense you got to be reliable from 3.

    I think Crabbe is one more year away.
