    During that scuffle between Meyers and Chriss did anyone else clearly hear Chriss call Meyers a fucking pussy? I was watching the Suns stadium feed onlne and it was clear as day. He yelled "fucking pussy!" right before he checked him from behind. Dudes a fucking punk.

    If he became a viable option, you pretty much offer anybody--even Dame. If Kyrie and Thomas can be traded, there's really nothing off the table.

    But yeah, CJ + Swanigan isn't a bad package for Anthony Davis if you can be sure he re-signs.

    Thanks for the link. Can really see what people are talking about when it comes to Mo's defense in the highlight reel.

    Slow your roll on the trade CJ stuff. Patty might not score 20 again this whole season.

    We are three weeks removed from the first preseason game when we all wanted to waive him.

    Believe me. With as much crap that was handed out for saying Pat Con was going to be productive he can Gloat all he wants.
    I know i got bashed from every angle. All i ever said was Pat Con would step up and cover Crabbe's 10 points a game. That he would produce for the Blazers this year. People were in line to tell me Pat was never gonna make it and should just go back to baseball.

    Our defense is better because we're stacked in the frontcourt. It has nothing to do with CJ. We had Nurk, Big Ed, Biggie, and Hark patrolling the paint last night. Teams can't just effortlessly go to the hoop on us any more. And we don't need a trade. Looking for a trade right now would be idiotic. We could be really, really good this year if we stay healthy.

    I was one of those guys. I'm glad Pat is proving me wrong.

    We have the potential to be even better on defense with Collins back.

    FWIW

    Crabbe came off the bench for BKN in game 1. He played about 27 minutes.

    12 points, 7 boards, 2 steals and a block. 2-3 from 3pt and 4-5 FT.

    To be fair, Patty is being aggressive shooting the ball, which he hasn't been in his whole career. He even mentioned it in the postgame, and
    how he is a "slow learner".

    As a side point, this seems to be a trend. Coaches trying to get young players to fit in, and just identify a bankable NBA skill. Ultimately, this
    fitting in undoes their career until they become more aggressive. I've seen this happen over and over again. If Pat can turn the corner, he'll
    be fantastic.

    Game not televised so I had to just follow score tracker on NBA-TV. Hey- where do you stream?

    Anyway, biggest Suns loss ever. Had it been on national TV they would have said it's boring and cut to another game. The kind of game only fans of the winning team enjoy. The kind of game where home town fans first boo, then walk out. The kind of game where the only fans left in the arena are the ones rooting for the visitors. The kind of game where home broadcasters say at the buzzer "thank goodness that's over".

    Let's have more.

    I'd rather have Davis as backup C. He was KILLIN Chandler's old ass on the boards.

    When I used to listen to sports radio in the drive home they carried Laker games.

    Ed was always doing the dirty work for that shitty team.

    Pat has no discernible basketball skills.
