    Everybody believes we have to trade one of them, I don't think so at all. WE NEED A BETTER SUPPORTING CAST. Swap out some players and we are fine. Cj and Dames offense alone can win a game. Just need some other pieces

    Maybe CJ should stay on the court and keep shooting through the half so he doesn't cool off?

    Problem with him is that his offense is largely based around tough conested 2's.
    When he's hitting he looks like a beast, but when he's not...

    I do like his defense though. He makes mistakes, but he's our 2nd best on ball defender behind Aminu.

    While I do think they need some consolidation, I think the bigger change would be the team playing defense like this for the res of the year.

    You mean Jed "You Can't Fire Me!" York. Yeah. Guy spends his off duty time rolling over youth soccer fields with a bull dozer. But seriously, Santa Clara bent over backwards giving that ass hat every concession he wanted. No community should do that. At least Portland has some self respect.

    Defense wins championships. So I want to hear your plan to get the players they need without using one of their two desirable players?

    Durant is shooting 75%, but has only taken 8 shots. I think he'll look to takeover in the second half.

    I understand the logic of people who say we need to trade one. I just wouldn't do it unless we get someone well worth it, and in my opinion, the only players I'd be willing to trade either of these guys for are not realistic targets.

    Think about this. The Blazers played pretty good on defense and amazing on offense and they still have up 69 in a half and only lead by 2.

    Sheesh.

    I talk about trading CJ but Olshey owes it to the franchise to acquire a center without giving him up first.

    Now please play a good second half unlike in San Antonio. I would like that.
