    Defense is the “team” part of this sport. You can play good defense but look pretty bad if the group on the court can’t play together.

    when he was a Blazer, Trent was beat off the dribble almost as much as Simons

    Whatever, let’s just get back before the Spurs. That’s good company.

    Teams who get elite talent followed by the team who thinks they "might have a chance to win it all if things go right"...

    Idk. With Wembanyama, De'Aaron Fox, and crew they could potentially make a run next year. Especially, if they get Flagg.

    If Wemby comes back. I’m bummed. Would’ve been fun to see him in the playoffs this year.

    Clippers and Nuggets involved in pushy push. Someone is going to get suspended.

    Amazing putback for the win from Gordon.

    Crazy they had a 20 point lead to start the quarter.

    I'm pretty sure Terry Stotts just got called Terry Stackhouse

    that was a pretty incredible game winner. Couldn't have been closer. The Nuggets almost choked away the 22 point lead; the Clippers had a lot of help from the officials IMo; Jokic was really getting lots of pushing and shoving without getting calls

    watched the earlier game when OKC completed the sweep

    * will Shaedon Sharpe ever be as good as Jalen Williams? I'm skeptical
    * will Clingan be better than Zach Edey? I'd say probably but Edey will likely always be better on offense

    * Would Ayton even be a top-10 C in these playoffs? Holmgren-Hartenstein-Jaren Jackson-Sengun-Jokic-Zubac-Gobert-Jarrett Allen-Mobley-Porzingis-Kat-Myles Turner-WCJ-Adebayo.....he'd be about the 15th best; maybe better than WCJ...so 14th

    I think Clingan is already better than Edey. Blazers picked the right one there.

    Still think we made the wrong decision by drafting Scoot over Amen? I don't think so. Funny how that troll disappears anytime Amen craps the bed. Which has been most of the series thus far.

    a 22 year old player sputtering a bit in his first playoff series isn't exactly news

    Amen was clearly better this season:

    that said, I have not given up on Scoot. Straight across trade? probably stay with Scoot. Blazers have Camara and Thybulle
