    The truth is our bench has always shot well. Stotts just doesn't give them many minutes or many shots.

    Mags already explained it. I've already explained it. If you can't understand the differences and why Barton does better in a more up-tempo offense, then... I really don't know what to tell you.

    Saw that one coming. Still like the trade but was pretty sure this was gonna happen, especially on a bad team.

    Well for one, they play pressure defense for steals. They are a fast break team and mainly scores in the paint. Portland is one of the worst at scoring in the paint and we play possession defense.

    There are so many differences bro. Stop hyperboling a 1 game performance on a lottery team

    I mean, this is why we love Joel so much. He bodies the shit out of players. In the air, on the floor, it doesn't matter.

    We're "bodying" the Spurs and getting called for it. They're not.

    Denver only scores 99 ppg. Do you regularly watch Denver games or are you making stuff up?

    We reach a lot. Keep the arms up and you won't get called for a foul.

    No that is completely different. He is going straight up. Dame and Aldridge are having their guys body them with shoulders to knock them out

    Did anyone figure out how to get one of those Oregon Trail Rip City shirts? Other than being at the game?

    I wasn't saying we are the same. I was literally asking the difference because I didn't know if you guys knew what you were talking about or if you were just making it up.

    Does an up-tempo offense always transition to points?

    Why do you always insist on being combative over your own hyperbole? You know I'm right, you know they have an uptempo offense. Cherry Pick stats all you want, but I've watched plenty of Denver games to know.

    But, you can try the arrogance if youd like.

    Yes, you absolutely can. As long as you jump straight up it's not a foul. And you can even jump at an angle, like in fast-break defense, and draw body contact without committing a foul.

    We do. We don't make shit up. Stop being so accusatory.
