    Like last year when we beat Orlando (9th in def efficiency) by 23 without Dame and starting 2 guys who are on min contracts this year and a 3rd guy who is out of the league?

    Sometimes I get the feeling that some people only watch Blazer games. Which is actually understandable and normal. But the NBA this year sure doesn’t seem normal to me at all. Blowouts, bad teams winning vs good teams on the road, it’s kind of a free for all out there.

    This this this!

    I have no issue with people who watch the Blazers and few other teams, as long as they don't make claims comparing us to other teams. At the very least, there is a ton of data out there to help you determine if your snapshot opinion has any validity.

    They did? Wow, thank you for taking time off from mowing lawns or showing invterviews during live play to share that breaking news. :cheers:

    Of course the bigger point is, if they continue to play like they have for the majority of these first 13 games, they will suffer an all too familiar ass-kicking in the first round. It pains me when a team with much more talent, plays down to the level of garbage rosters so often.

    Did you expect this team to go past the first round? Also, I don’t play back any interviews on our broadcasts. Not sure if you realized this, but now you do.

    I expect you to step up, be a man and fix it no matter who is in charge. Lay down the law!

    This kid, man. He was arrested for guns earlier this season while having weed. But charges were dismissed. Has so much game though. Maybe we can revive him like we did Nurk?

    https://theathletic.com/2329971/202...iers-trade-release/?source=emp_shared_article

    CLEVELAND — Cavaliers guard Kevin Porter Jr. is expected to be traded or released following an outburst Friday in the Cavs locker room, The Athletic has learned from several sources with direct knowledge of the events.

    Porter, 20, who has not played this season due to personal issues, grew angry when he entered the locker room and realized the team gave his old locker to Taurean Prince, who was acquired in a blockbuster trade Wednesday.

    Sources said Porter, whose locker was moved to the wall where the younger, end-of-bench players reside, began yelling and at one point threw food.

    Sources said general manager Koby Altman came into the locker room and confronted Porter, and the player remained combative with his boss. The Cavs spent the weekend trying to trade him.

    Wish we had James Harden. Say what you want but he is better than CJ.
