    Not only that, but he's one of only three Blazer players with a positive +/- on the year. One is Dame, of course, but easily best of the three is Josh Hart.

    Yeah, I didn't understand that. If you thought it was your ball, why aren't you over there to inbound the ball? A timeout doesn't advance the ball in the 3rd quarter, right?

    You have to have possession to call a TO.

    Or in a dead ball situation, which that was.

    People (Understandably) dumped on me for putting the Lakers ahead of the Blazers this season.

    But who’s crying now? (We all are)

    This is without Lebron also. My bet is he will not miss the playoffs and he will most likely return before the playoffs start.

    I don't remember that. And if they did, there is no way they could have anticipated Utah bailing them out by absorbing Wesbrook's contract so they could make a trade.

    I think that with the roster that they've put together (IF HEALTHY) it would be really shitty to get them in the first round if you are the one seed... really shitty. The good thing for the Nuggets is that the Lakers aren't very likely going to be playing the 1 seed in the first round, more likely the 2 seed or even the 3 or 4. The Lakers are playing really well right now and supposedly LeBron is coming back soon.

    A rotation of DLo, let's just say Troy Brown, LeBron, Vando, AD who is playing at an MVP level, Schroder, Reaves, Rui, Beasley, Walker is a lot of athleticism and skill coming at you. If LeBron and Vando can handle minutes at the 5 and you can play a lot of small ball, that's a fucking nightmare to go up against. I don't know if they can stay healthy through a playoff run but they can stay healthy enough to beat any team in the league 4 out of 7 games. No team in this league is great, not one of them... so a team like the Lakers could steal a title this season.

    It's one of the reasons that it was so shitty that Joe couldn't get shit done at the deadline to make us a more competitive team. This is the season where a lot of teams can win the title because no one is close to dominant. That doesn't mean one of the top two seeds out of either conference won't walk away as champion, I just think it's one of the most wide open seasons in memory.

    Not sure I would want to face the Lakers in the first round if I was one of the top teams. They’re going to get so many calls…… will be interesting to see how this pans out.

    The most recent news is that they're aiming at the final two weeks of the regular season, so LeBron can get into a rhythm with the rest of that roster.
