    I'm going to record the replay of the game so I can watch the last part of the 4th again. I hope the replay does not include the delay or I won't get it

    I'm not 100% certain but they dont do replays like ESPN and advance in time so I think it will. They usually have halftime like its live too.

    Leonard aint gonna get shit for us in trade.

    Leonard is gonna join the rotation when we trade guys that currently are playing in front of him.

    Yeah, pretty much.

    Honestly right now I'm just hoping Ezeli comes back and can cover a bunch of the defensive mistakes we make every game.

    10m is nothing these days, especially for a young big who can shoot. Teams will see value in him, no matter how much Blazers fans hate the guy.

    I look at it this way; he wasn't supposed to be back until, like, December or January. Any and all action he sees now until the end of January should be considered part of his rehab.

    He is our gamble. Teams wont give shit for him. 10 million may be nothing, but when he hasnt shown shit teams wont be creaming themselves over him. We need a third star. More likely to get that packaging people ahead of him in the rotation.

    We need to package Leonard and Aminu for a guy with some kind of presence in the low post. Olynyk would be ideal.

    I'd even take a guy like Al Jefferson.

    Damian Lillard == Feast
    35.0 ppg, .549 FG%, .444 3FG%, .654 TS%, PER = 29.9, AST = 26.6, TOV% = 13.9

    Kyle Lowry == Famine
    13.5 ppg, .276 FG%, .200 3FG%, .404 TS%, PER = 6.0, AST = 22.7, TOV% = 19.3

    To be fair, he has said he likes Lillard's improved efficiency. But then, who wouldn't?

    Wow. Some of you should be straight up embarrassed by some of those posts on here. So negative all the time. Hoops is a game of runs......when will some of you get that. Amazing,great early season road win.

    Aminu was the MVP of the game. Hands down.
    When Portland needed stops he stepped up blocking Munday's layup when Lillard got beat. As well as made other key defensive plays late in the 4th and OT.(pressured Gallo, rebounded and contested layups from Faried/Jokic, switched to contest the inbound pass)
    He clearly showed you don't have to score/shoot well to have an impact on the game.
    Something that couldn't be said about other Blazers over the years who let their overall impact on offense effect their impact on defense.
    At the end of the day Aminu has defense will travel.

    It goes to show how important Aminu is to this team and that he stays out of foul trouble. He picked up three in the first quarter tonight, against the Clippers he picked up two quick fouls.
    Need Aminu on the court for the Blazers to be good.

    To be fair we were losing by 8 with 55 seconds to go and looked very poor for most of 3rd and 4th quarter. The team showed incredible character and it will be an important win, we could build on that. Some of the weaknesses got exposed but I even said pre-game that Nuggets with Jokic, Faried and Nurkic were terrible match up for us currently. Not many teams will expose us inside this much.

    Jokic is a terrific player. Shame we cannot get him here.

    Until we upgrade the front court, this will be a reoccurring issue. We need a shot blocking center that doesn't give up 2nd chance put backs as much. Let's not waste Dame's best years with Plumlee starting.

    I've said for a full year now that Plumlee is a natural PF. Everyone says no, to be a PF you have be an excellent shooter. I say, you have seen Aldridge too much.

    Plumlee is the best PF we have. That's why I advocated getting the bigger Ezeli, after watchng him shove Plumlee around at will in the playoffs.
