Do you think Turner should be moved back to the starting line-up eventually this season?

    Moe is the starter until he stops playing defense.
    When he stops playing defense Turner should take his spot.

    I think Houston and Denver played a couple nights ago in Denver.
    Will Barton missed a layup that would have tied the game? or won it? I don't remember if it was a 1 or 2 point Houston lead.
    One of those million dollar moves, with a ten cent finish.

    This is exactly the kind of game we lost earlier this season. You think we've turned a corner, and we get blown out at home.

    Prove me wrong, Blazers

    This is one game I might switch the starting lineup a bit. Vonleh has been playing well but guarding Giannis is just not a good match up and I think Aminu would be better in this case with Vonleh coming off the bench. Hope Noah doesn't get in early foul trouble.

    First game back from a long road trip is always dangerous, but hopefully our newfound focus will win the day.

    That's the problem with Lillard, when it comes playoffs time teams know they have to trap him out of the pick&roll and when they do it Lillard is nearly neutralized because he doesn't have CJ's ball handling and screens are the main tool he uses to free himself up

    FiveThirtyEight.com has the Blazers favored by 4.5 pts over the Bucks. With the week we've had, I'm not surprised. Nice to see.

    Sure. Because no coach has thought of throwing a trap at him since the All-Star break.

    So you're saying Dame struggles in the playoffs? Interesting. I've seen him light some teams up in the post season. Wonder what game you were watching.

    You misspelled Lowry. It's L-O-W-R-Y, not L-I-L-L-I-A-R-D.

    But, other than that, your right, he's totally feast or famine.

    I'd start Layman and let him try to keep up with Ant...... then bring in Mo or Chief to keep the pressure on.

    So in that scenario who is Jake replacing in the starting lineup? I am really anxious to see if Vonleh can stay with Ant. In the open court....no one his size can. But in the half court I think Noah can. Regardless I want to see him try.

    Glad ET is back because we will need him to help with Middleton/ Snell. Mo can start on Middleton and then yes also help guard Ant, along with Aminu.

    Nah, no need to mix things up. Start Vonleh. He seems to get most of his points early. If he does get in foul trouble, just play Aminu a few more minutes. It's not like Vonleh fouling out is going to cost us the game. He barely plays in the 4th quarter anyway.

    Nurkic will most certainly feast upon Thon Maker, but especially if he were to speak Merlin's Charm of Making.


    In English:
    Serpent's breath, charm of death and life, thy omen of making.

    anál nathrach = breath of serpent
    orth’ bháis ’s bethad = spell of death and of life
    do chél dénmha = thy omen of making
