    My bad, it was a tweet about how the Pels brass and staff are concerned about Zions conditioning again.

    I’ll take him if he becomes available. Blazers are just the place for him to get a new start.

    The friend who's always screwing up and the friend who's the instigator. But life is short and they're fun to be around.

    Jaylen Brown got tossed by a ref for complaining. The official was 60 feet away on the other side of the court, and JB was about to sit down. That's some Sheed level technical b.s. right there.

    Didn't realize that Blazers are the worst 3pt shooting team in the NBA as of now.

    after last night they are 28th. Crazy thing is they lead the league in opponent's 3ptFG%. They also lead the league in opponent turnovers (but rank 27th on their own turnovers)

    another crazy set of numbers: Portland is 8th in the NBA in offensive rebounds a game and 10th in offensive rebound rate. But they are dead last, 30th, in defensive rebounds/game and 28th in defensive rebounding rate

    Blazers are also dead last in TS%; 25th in FT Rate; and 27th in Turnover Rate

    Blazers are currently -6.9 in net rating and that's usually a pretty solid predictor of wins/losses. That Pythagorean calculation would end up with Portland winning 23-24 games, if that rating remains about the same. Right now, the same math says the Spurs will win 15-16 games

    Portland is bottom, or near bottom in several team stats. Portland is kinda in the middle in a few other categories. Portland is a league leader in 1 category. STEALS. The Blazers jump passing lanes, and apply good perimeter pressure. Blazers tenacious D has allowed the team to go on runs and win a handful of games.

    I think they'd love to have him on a locked up contract. Are they willing to dangle Jarace Walker? Would we be interested?
