Time to start Simons

I like Brandon Ingram but I don't think New Orleans would give him up.

 

Why try an make money on YouTube? Just charge some of these guys rent.

 

Why do we always seem to get coaches that stick with what they like to do no matter the situation? Reminds me of this.

 

Stotts will not bench CJ. If nothing else, Olshey would cut the brake lines on his car if he did!

 

and he shouldn't.

 

"If something is broken, don't fix it". Or something like that.

 

McCollum isn't broken. Nurk, Hood, Collins and Skal are broken.

 

I ment the whole system, that is broken. It is, but we still play same BORING AS FUCK basketball. ISO ISO ISO. And btw, yes, CJ is broken - he can pass the ball, but he does not feel like it.

 

Lillard plays more iso ball than anyone on the team. Do you want him gone as well?

 

You know, putting words in someone's mouth is not, how you discuss things. So, no, I'm not going to make it 5 pages rant.

 

Headline 1: To find minutes for Simons, Blazers acquire Simmons for McCollum.

Headline 2: Calabro quits. Says calling plays got too hard.

 

Headline 3: Portland brings back Mike Rice because an extra 'm' doesn't matter when you're drunk

 

This is disgusting

 

5 page rant? Why? I didn't put words into your mouth as I simply asked a question that you didn't answer. You don't like iso ball and I simply pointed out that Lillard has statistically more iso plays than anyone on the team.

 

Headline 4: Blazers to announce a treatment center called Whiners Anonymous.

 

You did. You asked if I want Dame "gone as well". "Gone as well"? Look up and find the post when I said, I want anyone "gone". Good luck. I swear, this forum is full o 12yo.

 

That's not putting words into your mouth. That's asking a question so I can understand what you want. You still haven't answered it and knock off the personal attacks if you really want a discussion. You could have easily said you don't want anyone gone or I want so and so gone, but you didn't cause you never answered me.

 

This is a lost season. If winning a championship in Dame’s window is truly the goal, then Blazers need to start Simons right now and get him ready for next season while looking to flip CJ for a SF/PF to balance the roster and make the team a true contender. My fear is Neil’s ego is too big and hell bent on making Dame/CJ work. How can he honestly sit there after 7 seasons and feel good about a team that is DEAD LAST in the entire NBA in assists. He has to look in the mirror and admit the Dame/CJ pairing is not working. Dame is too good to waste any more time on this failed experiment. If nothing else, these injuries show that CJ is not a number 2 on a championship team, else the 2 of them alone should be better than 5 games under .500... especially when you add Whiteside AND Melo to the equation.

 

Here's an interesting stat for you. Last year we were 25th in assists and made it to the WCF and 13th out of 16 playoff teams. Obviously assist numbers don't necessarily translate to team success all the time.
