    He has shown improvement. Scoring has increased each year and last year with less minutes than the year before. Relax. This is what developing a superstar who didn’t play in college looks like.

    It’s just weird to hear him complain about practice on that lawnmower

    Can it be considered discipline if you ask for it and enjoy it?

    JG seems like he’s going to be a detriment to this team. He is not one to pass and share the ball. He won’t come off the bench. So irritated that he’s still here

    Wait. Does that mean he's healthy, or does he mean that it's great that he's ready to be injured?

    He received the talking points at the same time the players did.

    It's been all downhill since "Family Matters" went off the air.

    When asked Monday if he thought he’d be back in Portland for another season, Grant couldn’t help but smile.

    “Probably not,” he said. “I definitely didn’t. But I’m happy that I’m here right now. The way the team is structured and everything, the changes that were made, I think it’s beneficial for me and for our team.”

    And what about Sharpe? Does the fourth-year shooting guard expect to be a starter?

    “I don’t expect anything, really,” Sharpe said. “I just expect for me to come in and help this team. Whether that’s coming off the bench or starting, it doesn’t really matter to me. I’m just going to come out and do what I’ve got to do to help this team.”

    “There’s a lot of different ways you could go,” Billups said. “I say this to y’all and I say this to our guys — I’m not really the one that’s deciding that. I’m really not. I’m just going to be the messenger in it. They’ve got to go earn it. Whoever earns it, whoever plays the best, whoever plays the best as a unit, (they) are going to be the starters.”

    His 3pt% got worse. His defense is still quite bad.

    I don't believe that for a second. This is the same coach who benched Sharpe because of defense while continuing to start Simons

    But it seemed to have worked for Sharpe, and he did go back to him who started 52 of 72 games. And he did say whoever fits as a unit is important as well.

    The Blazers did need outside shooting last year (and this year), so I can see why he stuck with Simons.

    We could never afford him. Value is way too high.

    My value is way higher when i wear the ironman suit. I could just play in street clothes.
    Simons on the other hand could use the suit also most likely.
