Blazers have started out this 4-game roadie with 2 gutsy wins. Perhaps an argument can be made that this victories were closer than they should've been when you consider the depleted rosters Portland was playing against.

Ultimately, our guys got the job done, and that's the big takeaway.



Looking at Toronto's home record. Under .500. Almost as if they are NOT playing at home. /green font

Why 2 threads with the exact same name?
 
Who's gonna have the better revenge game? Trent, Hood, or Powell?
 
Due to what Powell has on offense and D, I'd finish with Dame, Powell, DJ, RoCo and Nurk. That is a lineup that can get stops and score a lot of points in a lot of ways. That's if we have a win or if it's close. If we need a comeback Dame, CJ, Powell, RoCo and Nurk.
 
I'm pretty damn sure we're going to beat the Raptors' asses. We actually have a size advantage which is crazy. I think we can make this three in a row. We've got to beat our sub .500 opponents.

You seem to love the Powell acquisition.

I would love it, if he was restricted or we had any way of making sure we could keep him. The way it is we might lose Gary for nothing and to me that would be unacceptable but Neil is fine with the unacceptable. LA leaving for nothing. Crabbe, Turner, Leonard and Ezili contracts. So yes, this trade makes us more competitive and maybe it makes the team see that there are better back courts than Dame and CJ but maybe we just see a good player that's a good fit come and go.
 
Glad we rested Dame against the Magic. Let’s Go beat the Raptors
 
If you listened to the interview he didn’t necessarily say they would start

I did not listen to the interview. What did he say? Fentress reporting Fake News?
 
Man Little has been brutal offensively. I think his shooting is what we knew it was. Not great. He’s 26.1% on his threes during his last 10 games.

Good defender tho. But starting to get overrated around here..
 
Looks like Trent and Hood played awful tonight. Is Trent the next Allen Crabbe but without the big contract? I think Gary's gonna regret turning us down in the offseason.

Out of how many attempts and in how many minutes in those last 10 games? Full context please.
