    8 spots behind the Kings in the WC? Everyone should be fired! :smiley-closet:

    Both Grant and Nurk will be back? I'm interested to see how Thybulle and Reddish fit in with them.

    Would love a Justise Winslow update from the team. Winslow/Thybulle/Nurkic all playing might keep this from being a rout (okay—maybe not).

    D.Sabonis has been beefing up. I hardly recognized him in the All-Star game. Good thing Eubanks and Watford have achieved next level basketball skills, they'll put an end to the Sabo dominance.

    I think we all needed an extended break to shake off that Wizards game. When Kuzma is out their looking like Godzilla, the realization that your team is way too small to be consistently competitive sinks in.

    Sabonis feeding frenzy eminent. Triple double time for him. Not to say POR can't win this but it will be a tough game.

    We beat the Kings on opening night and our team is better now. Of course we can win.

    If I had to guess, I think they were squatting on his rights so that they could keep him through the summer and bring him to camp.

    Seems like that time should be now though, with only a limited number of games left.
