    you've been watching the wrong science fiction. The Blazers would use the 6-month-to-full-maturity process (although I just turned 70 and haven't made it to full maturity yet. I'm not a clone though)

    Ja is the best all aroung PG in the league. MVP caliber. Memphis still probably need a piece or too at the deadline though I dont know what kind.

    They should pair him with CJ McCollum. I've seen it do wonders for another All-NBA PG.

    Ja is coming on. As much as I love Dame, Ja is coming for him. The growth he is showing this year is tremendous. He deserves an all star spot this year. He is leading Memphis to a top seed in the playoffs.

    Ja does.

    Dame doesn't.

    It's that simple. And it's because it's this year. Dame is the better player but Ja is having a better year and there's no argument because dame has missed games and had a slow start.

    Dame is the better player for now. Depends on if Ja continues to improve. He could surpass him when their careers are over.

    Nice try.

    Memphis is downright scary good.
    Of all the teams I've seen up close this year, they impress me the most.
    Not saying they're gonna win the chip or anything, (yet) but they could......
    Watch Out For Memphis.
