    What’s Portland’s record without CJ since he’s been starting?

    Are they out? I haven't been paying much attention this year. After it was obvious they weren't going to win more than 2 games, I just tanked it and blew off going to our 49er Club. Last I saw though, I thought Armstead played last weekend against Seattle?

    Armstead. I can't stand this guy. It absolutely cannot be understated just how bad of a GM Trent Baalke was. What the hell he saw in Armstead is a mystery to science. This guy was no better than a 5th round pick, and he took him in the 1st. Pathetic.

    Oh, and Lynch isn't off the hook....I knew Thomas was going to be a colossal bust, and surely enough, he is. I was so pissed when we drafted him. And I laughed at Chicago at the time for making that trade.....they definitely got the better end of the deal.

    Too small to play inside, and too slow to play on the outside. Bust.

    Dude hasn’t missed much. 3-3 including tonight. 2 of the wins were against Suns.

    I don't know. Just know they were good players for the Ducks. Buckner is having a Pro Bowl year.

    No idea. Probably The Rock. If it's typical Hollywood.

    To be fair, if the 49ers would've gotten Mack they likely wouldn't be so bad and who knows if Jimmy G gets hurt either.

    Terry runs that delay split action a lot, especially with Mo. It's just that smarter, more talented teams are better equipped to take that look away.

    Elie Okobo and Jamal Crawford on the other hand...

    You don't know what pain is until you've been a NJ Jets fan for most of your life. There are new ways to be humiliated you never thought existed.

    The next five games is brutal. This team can go 1-4 or 0-5

    I'm getting at that he's been terrible....just like some people are saying

    * he has a 50.5% TS rate when his previous two seasons it was 60.3% and 60.1%

    * he has a eFG% of .488 when his previous two seasons it was .567 and .588 (the stat that weighs two's vs three's)

    * he has a PER of 5.0 when his previous two seasons it was 13.8 and 15.5

    * he has an assist rate of 6% when his previous two seasons it was 14.2% and 16.0%

    * he has a winshare/48 of .001 when his previous two seasons it was .097 and .110...and he was playing on losing teams

    * he has a box plus/minus of -4.2 when his previous two seasons it was -1.5 and +1.4

    apparently. you're saying all that doesn't matter because he's shooting three's well, but he's shooting 31% on two's and has taken 82 of them compared to only 40 three's; that represents a lot of empty possessions

    I'm positive that even Curry himself would say he's playing poorly. That's not the kind of overall production Portland imagined when they signed him. He is new to the team and he's coming off a major injury, so he's likely still adjusting, but it's completely accurate to label his play so far in negative terms

    Not sure why Houston gave away Melton so easily.

    I'm not shocked he dropped in the draft. Offensive questions coming out and doesn't really have standout size or athleticism.

    I also think teams were lower on him after the interview process...but man. Super fluid and instinctive. Makes the little winning plays that go unnoticed and the shot looks like it's coming along.

    Were the Blazers so much better or the Suns just awful?

    The Suns made a huge mistake by drafting Ayton and not doncic. Ayton is just the black Kanter, good Post Player without range and a awful Defender. Not that type of Center you want today
