    All you need to know about Leonard is that my girlfriend, who has only been watching the NBA for 5 years since she moved from Hawai'i, see's him play and says, "what is wrong with him? Is he just stupid?"

    I feel bad for him, he seems like a really good person. He has good athleticism, and all the physical tools to be good, but man he has to be just a tier above JaVale McGee basketball IQ.

    Insert Meyers Tank gif. Thanks to Biebs instead of having the 17th pick, we will be in a drawing for the 14th, 15th, or 16th pick!

    ....and you thought Stotts wouldn't tank!

    Damian Lillard's 26.99 scoring average (6th in NBA) is the 2nd-highest in team history (Clyde Drexler-27.22, 1988-89).

    Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum combined to average 50.0 points, most by teammates in franchise history (G. Petrie/S. Wicks-48.7, 1972-73).

    CJ McCollum is the NBA's best free throw shooter for 2016-17 (91.2%). He is 2nd Trail Blazer to win that honor (J. Crawford-92.7%, 2011-12).

    Stellar tank job.

    Napes looked pissed. He coulda hit a career high.

    Allen Crabbe finishes 2nd in NBA with 44.4% 3-PT (Kyle Korver, 45.1%). That's the best mark by any Blazer with 100+ 3-PT made in a season.

    Stotts knew what he was doing. Great stealth tank job.

    Shabazz had 25 points over 3 quarters and was by far the best player on the court but stotts sat him the entire 4th.

    In the last minute or two, Leonard consistently blew the play, causing us to lose the game. If that doesn't make Olshey get rid of him this summer, nothing ever will.

    Edit: Oh, you saw it too.

    Golf clap CJ. Really impressive after a lackluster first half of his career.

    Actually might be 3rd; Pau made the minimum attempts tonight, and leapfrogged both Korver and Crabbe into 1st.
