    I think he’s a scrub personally. If he was throwing up the darts he does on the Blazers I’d have less hair than you

    Not sure what this means. I’d be ecstatic if we had a player putting those kind of numbers up coming off our bench.

    It means if you look at those numbers and those numbers only, without diving in to an overall affect on the floor, and what it takes to get those numbers, then sure, great bench numbers.

    When you have been watching the NBA for 30+ years sometimes the eyeball test is all I need to see a players impact on a team.

    I’m also willing to bet Pelinka beats himself up daily for allowing Lebron to convince him to trade away any kind of depth they had for that scrub.

    Well surely he is on the trading block and nobody seems to be interested in him as anything other than an expiring. What does that tell you? OTOH, Russ is incredibly talented no question. Downhill he is impossible to stop but he makes some poor choices at times. Still a HOFer w/o a doubt. He gives the fans their money's worth; doesnt phone it in.

    You’ve really never heard of him before? Great game though. In 29 minutes!

    How much do ours consistently produce. That Dame can count on night in and night out like tonight?

    Bamba ended up with 4 games suspended and Rivers only 3. Rivers ran into the opposing bench and started the altercation in my opinion and should of had the longer suspension.

    advanced metrics say he has a negative impact on the game, despite the good looking counting stats. So the answer is bad. Similar to Hassan Whiteside—gaudy block and rebound numbers, but doesn’t help you win.

    Man I wish we had a center now who put up the numbers Whiteside did for us. I bet Dame and Chauncey do too.

    Night in and night out leading the NBA in blocks and rebounds. But you’re saying that’s “bad” right?

    I think Chauncey would probably love a C a lot more mobile than Hassan. He'd have a hard time recovering from the perimeter defense Chauncey's system requires everyone to play to protect the rim.
