    Edey vs Clingan was like TRex vs Allosaurus while all the smaller raptors ran circles around them

    Clingan has defensive potential, but to bring it out requires more than a bottom-10 NBA coach/system. He'll develop after he's a Blazer.

    WNBA’s Kahleah Cooper and NBA’s Donovan Clingan open up about how they have been personally impacted by breast cancer. Dr. Susan Domchek speaks on the importance of genetic testing for prevention and early detection and TODAY’s Jill Martin shares her own journey and how it inspired her to team up her clothing brand with the NBA and WNBA to raise awareness.

    Preseason is over. DC finished...
    2nd in rebounding, 4th in Blocks.

    He is the only player to finish top 5 in both of those categories. He did this while coming off the bench 3 of his 4 preseason games.

    The kid is only 20 years old and he seems to love the game.The kid has a super attitude and persona, always looks like he having fun. I see a kid that has the bb iq that will only excel his development into a force in the paint. I hope he watches a lot of Walton & Joker film as he has the capability to be a great passer like those two. The offense can run through him at the top like it did with Walton as he can pass & cut/roll to the hoop. And his defensive possibilities are even huge.

    Strange thing, I had a dream last night that Sabonis was miraculously playing for our team again.
