    Maybe he thinks he not strong enough to keep the ball up and go back up.

    He did some really smart moves though, he managed to free up roster spots with guys who weren't going to play and pick up two guys who are rotation guys who deserve minutes. He could've easily done just about nothing. He doesn't clear up the roster spots he couldn't have brought on Kanter without waiving someone. I dunno, I just think that for that couple of weeks he did a good job.

    Fine, when the NYK strike out in free agency send him there for an unprotected 2020 1st, they aren’t giving us a top 3 pick, which they will probably get.

    Well since you asked, yeah, Stotts makes all kinds of mistakes with Lillard. He’s far too passive with Lillard. He shouldn’t let Lillard rap. He should be demanding not only that Lillard takes pre-games more seriously, but that Lillard LEADS our team in pre game. Our pre game is pitiful.

    Plus He shouldn’t let Lillard take so many 40 ft 3s.. especially with lots of time on the clock.

    He shouldn’t let Lillard have an iso as our one and only last-second play.

    Don't forget Lillard drinks like a fish too.

    Clippers losing to the Warriors. If they lose, OKC jumps them and gets into the 6th seed.

    We need OKC to beat Houston for us to get the 3-seed. But at this point, if OKC beats Houston to help us get the 3-seed, we'd likely play them in the first round.

    Beating a team without super star calls will be hard enough.

    Neil Olshey absolutely deserves some credit for all of the moves. Don't let anyone tell you different.

    Is it just me or has Plumlee's overall attitude turned to shit in Denver?

    We don’t need to be afraid of OKC. They beat us in the regular season with energy. We will be fine against them in the playoffs.

    Dude, there is 0% chance either of those trades would ever happen. Meyers has negative trade value. Gonna take more than a 2nd for Blazers to rid themselves of his contract.

    And the other trade, if ATL is dumb enough to make that trade you do it 100 times out of 100. Unfortunately, other than shedding salary it doesn’t help the Blazers much. The difference between Prince and Harkless is negligible and not enough for ATL to take on all that additional salary, even for a year.

    team is better without CJ, though they’d never admit it.

    Playing shitty defense. Almost like we feel we can just outscore them based on talent...

    the fact we aren’t up by 10+ now is sad. We have to be able to crush bad teams at home.
