    Maybe I'm not recalling correctly but I remember not loving a couple of the defensive possessions. But even if it's true it's probably a bit of an unfair analysis.

    I guess it's more about wondering how it'll play against a wide range of lineups. I think Minnesota's personnel definitely helped it work tonight. And like I've said before, once Zach gets more comfortable guarding out on the perimeter and continues to develop his skill level, they should be used together more than during foul/ideal situations and could see them working in a starting unit together in the future.

    Oh I don't know. Maybe pissed about the Blazers running up the score in a 30 point blowout?

    The guy he dunked on and supposedly taunted was laughing about it at the time and you just ASSUME it's about Meyers. Man, the hatred is strong.

    They stayed on the court to let their displeasure known, about losing? Whaaat?



    8:22. That’s not a taunt? You can see Nunnally yelling back at him while Meyers walks away flexing and feeling himself or whatever. Good bet he said something while looking down at him. Hence the Technical.

    The tweet did not mention Meyers. None of the MIN players or coach mentioned him in the post game interviews. You are making an ASSUMPTION based on your own hatred.

    Another ASSUMPTION.

    He just looked down at him then walked away. I don't see his mouth moving. He smiled when he walked away. So what

    I checked. Before this game, he was 11th in the league in fouls per minute this season, 45 minutes minimum. Tonight, he got lucky and stayed in the game. Big deal. Random chance.

    He took the ball and walked away from the ref. Other than that, you'll have to ask the ref.

    Regardless, saying the MIN players were upset about Meyers based on Casey's tweet is an ASSUMPTION.

    So is saying they weren’t. Calabro didn’t say anything about Nunnally laughing either. Why would he be laughing anyway? Your assumptions don’t even make sense.

    Calabro actually did mention Nunnally laughing on air. I heard it loud and clear. Maybe Nunnally was laughing at himself for signing with Minnesota rather than us or Houston, who both had discussions with him in the off season.

    Yep, I heard it too, or I wouldn't have mentioned it. I don't make things up to prove a point. I don't have to.

    "A guy you love to play with" -- Meyers Leonard helps Blazers hammer T-Wolves

    “Man, Meyers is crazy," Lillard said. "He came in and he had an impact. He had two tip dunks right away. He was rebounding the ball. He was challenging shots at the rim. I thought he was doing a really good job,” Damian Lillard said.

    “We see it everyday. I know what kind of player he is, what kind of person he is and whenever he’s on the court, if he’s not scoring or getting rebounds or being at the rim, you hear his positivity is contagious and you hear his voice the whole time and he’s just a guy you love to play with,” Collins said.

    “I thought in the first half he played very well, got a couple of dunks, made his free throws, he was talking defensively and he and Zach played very well together. Obviously, he got a lot of attention in the fourth quarter, but I was really pleased with the first half," Stotts said.

    It just means we're due for a good shooting game on Tuesday to get out team 3FG% back where it should be.

    I hope...

    I can see you point here.
    But i have a tendency to think the players are not playing well because of Butler not the other way around.
