    he averaged double the number of shots per game in Houston than he did in his first ten games here

    cant wait for nobody to call him out on it.

    we were down 5 when he put in Melo. I made a mental note of it because I’d be surprised if we were only down 5 when this quarter ended.

    I think it's pretty obvious why they went with Simons instead of Gary. Because even though Simons is still struggling with being a PG, he's still a much better PG than Gary is, and unlike Gary, will actually look for others on offense.
    Gary just shoots, and isn't known for being a steady dribble.

    Reminds me of Bazemore looking completely washed, then suddenly returning to the player he was before after leaving us.

    He's never had plays ran for him, certainly didn't in Houston. This is on him, nobody else.

    And Chuck wagered $100,000. on the Blazers to win it all. Guaranteed!

    let’s see....

    RoCo & Collins for Draymond

    Simmons, Little, Nurkic for Drummond

    there we go: all fixed

    Nice to see Hoody hitting a shot. I also like the haircut, and the headband.

    No, they should have gotten rid of those two.

    there's a reason why Moe barely sniffs any playing time now.

    Aminu made 35% of his 3’s as a Blazer. He had had a 57% TS% his last year. That’s better than CJ’s career and better than Melo’s this year, a year where Melo is hitting 43% of his 3’s. If Aminu was wide open all the time (he wasn’t) they needed to passé him the ball and have him shoot more.
