    Yeah but that’s a symptom of a deeper problem.

    Back to 5 seed! If we had won our previous 4, we’d have the 2 seed. That’s how close we are. Let’s get another streak going!!! We have time to get there.

    When people talk shit about Kanter it’s like they are talking about my son/brother/friend. I don’t like it. That dude has done EVERYTHING the team asks of him, plays every damn game, collects rebounds, points and plays unselfish. His teammates love him and he loves Portland.

    Kind of the way i feel on this also. He is what he is.
    No reason to trash a guy who gives everything he has every game he plays.

    Nassir should be the starting SF next year, he's everything we need from a modern day wing and he's only getting better.

    Somebody wrote in the thread "When Melo gets going he sure gets going" or something like that.
    I agree. There is something about when he is making shots. You just know he isn't going to miss.

    He should be in the rotation for the rest of this year for sure. It's nice to see him getting better every game.

    Face-up shooting Melo is good. This is how he thrived in the bubble.

    Post-up, iso Melo that thinks he’s still in his prime is bad.

    I hope he and Stotts recognize this going forward this season.

    I think since Harry went down it's remarkable how Enes has kept from fouling out of games and picked his fouls in the paint...he knows he's it...the only center playing and he's playing big minutes...hell of a motor if you ask me....if Zach Collins was our only center how quickly would he foul out even though he's a better defender? Good defense for a fraction of the court time doesn't pay off as well as playing all four qtrs big minutes and staying on the court and rebounding...scoring. Enes has stepped up big both seasons he's played here...he played with one arm in the playoffs first time around

    We would have to had won 4 straight and this game to get 2nd? That's not as close as you seem to think it is... especially considering we had to go on a big winning streak to make that possible AND have other teams lose to make that happen.

    It's not that easy.

    Little is 16-31 from 3 and Hood is 19-61 but somehow in 300 less minutes Little is 3 short of Hood.

    I’m high on Nas. He needs to play a lot even thru mistakes. He might be a Jeremiah Grant as his ceiling or better
