    It sure helps your defense when you don’t have to play a SG that can’t guard a chair.

    whether or not it made a difference schematically is still a question, but he certainly is playing harder.

    Of course the recent home record isn’t great.

    Why do twitter call Blazers a Poverty Team?

    Chauncey, please, please, please.

    If CJ comes back during a win streak, DO NOT START HIM!

    Very good....but not a SF, which is what the post was about. We have needed an athletic wing for ages. And Nas has so much more potential.

    I’m confident Nas can at least be an average shooter from outside. If anything he should get more deep looks, hard to get in a rhythm with 2-3 shots a night. I see him as a starting SF in the league, crazy that he’s considered a throw in by fans of other teams/media while those same people think trading a first for a reddish is a fair ask.

    If we’re offering CJ and Nas (along with picks) for Simmons Morey is an idiot but also thank you.

    the turnovers were driving me nuts. to win on the road when you have 12 more turnovers than the home team is pretty rare I'd think. An 18 rebound advantage went a long way in making up for the turnovers

    kind of hard to believe the Blazers got their 2nd road win of the season in the 29th game. I wonder if that is a franchise record?

    what isn't hard to believe is that Olshey could spend 3 years in Portland while Dillon Brooks was playing in Eugene, and still concluded Swanigan was a better prospect than Brooks

    yeah, I agree with the majority. I'd like to see Portland hold onto Little. Simons, not so much. But either way, CJ needs to go

    Im just concerned that any solid deal for an all star/potential involving CJ would be required to add Little. Especially wot CJ contract. But I wouldnt add him unless you got the player you want, Sabonis, Simmons, Brown etc.

    He really was trying to force highlight passes into tight windows. Thought he was John Stockton. He's not.
