    We've got plenty of bigs to make up for Ed's sprained ankle...Meyers will play tonight and Biggie will probably get some minutes...if anybody watched Biggie in the G league....he's got game...he's strong, coachable..has a decent stroke and doesn't play out of control. He's also the youngest guy on the team...I think he was a good draft pick and will develop into a good role player

    Preferably, I would like to see him become the next Draymond Green.

    Biggie in the G-League works. Against bigger, much more explosive NBA players, I just don't see his game translating unless he can play more like Z-Bo and master the on the floor game.

    yeah..I think the few minutes he's seen an NBA court, he's shown promise...I don't get the impression he's out of his league...he's just a raw rookie to me who's coachable

    Good to hear that Davis won't be out too long. Games like tonight should be the perfect venue to give someone like Biggie some run and see what they can do without much pressure.

    We have to remember that Biggie is still only 20. Crazy to say, considering what the talk was in training camp, but he’s going to need time. His physical limitations are real, but so is his bball IQ. I’m 50/50 on his work ethic, just because I don’t know whether the weight gain between summer league and training camp was by design. I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt just because everything I’ve read says he’s a hard worker, and you don’t lose as much weight as he did without a disciplined commitment.

    I look forward to watching his development though. He can help us, even if his ceiling is the old version of Boris Diaw.

    Biggie just needs to stay focused, and eager. Jermaine O'Neal didn't play much either early, but look how that turned out. But i'd rather have him want to play, than fiddle his thumbs, so him getting a little frustrated is understandable. Hopefully tonight he kicks arse. Go Blazers!!

    I think Biggie will be fine. We can't expect him to move as fast as Zach did.

    Guard three point line. 13 threes last game was ridiculous.

    Was it the Court stream on Reddit? Did the same thing to me. Now I'm watching NBCS Northwest.....full of commercials. Fucking sucks.

    I reckon Nurkic will take more than six shots this game.

    Hopefully we've learnt from how Memphis defended Nurkic last game; not just for this game, but more importantly for the playoffs.

    How is Far Cry? I've heard it is pretty good, but I haven't pulled the trigger because Far Cry 4 kinda soured me on the series.

    Merica.

    Had someone rage on twtich because they believed fc5 was taking shots at Trump.
    'All the trump references.'
    When I laughed at them, they said I'm a HC lover.
    I laughed again.
    They got more mad.
