    I wonder when others will come around on him being expendable. If he gets an offer of the tax MLE let him go.

    Matches the eye test. I think we'd be crazy to give him 10 million a year.

    Unpopular opinion:

    I think Melo wouldve been a much better player in Portland.

    Steven Adams played 36 minutes and had a double double with 17/10 but only got 1 defensive board??? How does that even work.

    Both guys we recruited this offseason were trash.

    George 4/15 in 39 minutes
    Melo 3/13 in 30 minutes

    Nurk outplayed Adams with 17/12 in 6 less minutes. I think it's time to start playing Nurk 30+ MPG consistently. He's no longer playing out of his comfort zone and his presence on the floor makes things so much easier for everyone else on both offense and defense.

    Yeah, I'm worried about him. I wanted to trade him at the deadline because I was worried he was overachieving the first half of the season.

    Since the break, he's looked like the player he was before he came to Portland. A player that could have a decent game off the bench every once in a while, but overall, not efficient and not reliable.

    Same. But I didn't want to mention that; it was traumatizing as a kid to watch the Blazers go out like that.

    CJ carried us.

    Lillard was good when it mattered.

    Nurkic neutralized Adams again.

    I believe this to be true.
    Though Aminu shooting 40%+ For most of the season has offset that.
    Aminu's defense has been invaluable this season.
