    How would we match up on the Thunder this season? They have three guys who demand a double team. Although I could see Mo being able to handle Melo by himself.....that said, they just have weapons man.

    If our Blazers are in first place, then yes.

    Did we double team Melo when he played for New York? Did we double team Paul George when he played for the Pacers? Did we ever double-team Westbrook?

    No.

    None of those dudes commands a double team.

    How can any team defend Dame, CJ, AND Nurkic? 3 guys who demand a double team.

    C'Moooooooon. You just typed that Westbrook and PG13 don't demand doubles? Really, then WHO does?

    Porzingas is damn good man. He is towering over these other players. I honestly didn't realize he was so tall.

    Westbrook gets trapped occasionally but he is never "doubled."

    I wish I could continue to ignore you, HCP, but then I can't see this thread. Seeing your posts now, I can still see that you know nothing about NBA basketball.

    Melo looks like garbage. Glad we didn't give up Mo or one of our rookies for him.

    I mean in all fairness you called our season over and said the team was trash when we were down 9-2 last night.

    Because I said Porzingus is a damn good player? Or that I said Westbrook and PG13, All NBA players, demand doubles teams?
    Which statement?

    He’ll probably say we have the division locked up if we beat the pacers tomorrow night.
