    that knee injury at the end of November sure seemed to take a lot of wind out of his sail. Doesn't seem like he's got back to where he was earlier in the season. Missing 6 of the last 11 games hasn't helped. Chauncey's rotations aren't doing him any favors either

    How come Clingan isn't in the rising stars game at the all-star weekend?

    Blazers are afraid he’ll injure himself in a nonsensical game.

    Sure he can, he just can't catch the ball.

    In the first 55 games of the season, DC played 668 minutes, scored 229 points, collected 277 rebounds, and swatted 64 shots in 41 games played. If he played all 27 remaining games, he would have to average 8.5/10.3/2.3 over 25 mpg to surpass those totals over the final 1/3 of the season. What do y'all think are the chances he's a) given that opportunity, and b) able to generate that production?

    17 minutes for the Great white hope. Can anyone justify this?

    2nd team all rookie. Congrats.

    Would have been first team if his coach knew the difference between his brain and a train

    Edey made 1st team over Clingan. If Clingan had better conditioning this year maybe he would have passed Edey.
