It depends on when Nurk can actually come back and be his old self, which honestly won't be next season. It's probably a full year injury to recover from fully, so best case scenario he might be back to his old self by the playoffs, so he'd be coming off the bench if at all next season. And...

who's butler? Jimmy Butler? how would we get him while keeping dame, cj, collins and nurk?

We could be the Green Bay Packers of the NBA. I dig it.

Yeah, but Swanigan is a PF, so he's going to be guarded by other bigs and won't need to race around screens. If his man doesn't come out to guard him, he gets an open 3, if he stays close to Swanigan, it opens up the lane for Dame, CJ, Nurk to operate in the paint.

I could buy that it was an accident if he tried to catch his mouthpiece as it was flying out, as would be the normal reaction for most rational humans if a mouthpiece accidentally comes out. I may even give him some more leeway if he bothered to pick it back up after it was on the ground. The...

I'd do it for KAT

Olshey hasn't put together the best pieces, but Stotts has severely misused his players talents. I think one of the biggest things I've noticed is that his offense hasn't changed at all in the last 3 years. It's the same plays being run, and he hasn't shown an ability to change things ups. I...

The players seem to love him, and he seems like a very nice guy, but lets face it, he's not a great coach. How much longer until he is officially on the hot seat? I mean, we have the worst defense I think I've ever seen on a team, they keep making the same terrible mistakes every sing game...

They'd never agree to expand the width of the court because you'd lose too much money on those court side seats

I agree the team defense is bad all game long, but this whole question was in regards to just a last second shot scenario. Ideally lillard and cj would improve on that end and this would be a moot point, but at this time, they're both negative impacts on the defensive end.

i guess hack a shaq was just my imagination, there's a reason you pull them when the situation calls for it. If you think Lillard and CJ are 2 of the best 5 defenders on the team, then I'll accept your argument that they should be on the court in that situation. My mentality is that the...

This is faulty logic. Shaq was a leader, did he stay in games when they needed a 3 to tie or when free throws are the name of the game? Do you leave Dwight Howard in the game when you need a 3? No you pull them and put all your shooters in. Why wouldn't you do the same thing when you need 1...

I just think for very specific situations, they need to have specific defensive lineups in mind that exclude lillard, cj and leonard. I know they'll probably complain saying they deserve to be in the game for the crucial last play, but they're such bad defenders the coach needs to tell them to...

I'm just wondering why Lillard and CJ are in the game at the end of quarters/game when the other team has the ball and we need a stop? I know they're the 2 best offensive players, but they're also 2 of the worst defensive players along with Leonard. So I've been wondering why the last 2...

What's the deal with CJ refusing to pass the ball at the end of quarters? At the end of 2 different quarters he had the ball and screwed it up. One time there was like 20 seconds and he took a terrible driving super contested shot with like 10 seconds left giving Utah the last shot at a 3...
