    Gabriel will do nothing but foul and will be out inside 15 minutes. Hoard is listed as available but is not even close to a viable option. The best option is Little but even he will not be able to compete with the likes of Zion. Biggie will get minutes for sure at this point as well as Melo.

    Available or not it still would not be a viable option. Somebody better get the listing fixed because he is indeed listed as available.

    He’d be a lot better option than Biggie. Has more experience playing against Zion as well.

    Would rather foul than give up open layups or dunks.

    I think if the Blazers lose tonight and perhaps the next couple without Dame, it's really time to pack it in. Save Nurk, Collins, Hood for next season, get the young kids some heavy minutes, and hope for lightning in the bottle for the draft.

    Next year should be a great rebound year.

    I've kind of thought what do they do if they go 0-5 without Dame (say he's out the full 5 games). Man they'd get killed if they brought him back and he got a serious injury when at that point they're basically completely out of contention for the 8th seed.

    If Nurk is healthy he needs to play. We don’t want him knocking off the rust next season. He’s been out long enough. Same thing with Collins. If he’s healthy he needs to play. Just because the team is out of the playoffs doesn’t mean playing time isn’t valuable, especially for a guy that hasn’t really established himself in the league just yet. Don’t know why Hood is even mentioned.

    Can’t argue against that really? It’s a shame we are even discussing it.
    Better option Biggie Swanigan or Jaylen Hoard? Hmmmm what to do? Dammit Stotts!

    They need to play so Stotts and Olshey can see them in rotation maybe by the end start them with Dame CJ Ariza so they can get good luck out the starters next year.

    By my count we have 9 players available tonight, so look for Melo to play 42 minutes.

    Per Cleaning the Glass--Portland has been the most efficient half-court offense (including putbacks) in the NBA vs top 10 defenses.

    115.7 per 100 possessions

    Bottom 10: 113.2
