    Is Carmelo on his knees there? He’s barely taller than the napkin dispenser.

    Harkless out. Can’t wait to see how creative stotts gets aka just shove CJ and Curry further down our throats.

    I can't explain it, but Curry's net rating in nearly every lineup is so high. Eye test doesn't agree, but maybe that's why Stotts is insistent on playing Seth so much.

    Here are our best two man lineups that have played at least 50 min:

    The good thing about this team is that you don’t have to watch 4 quarters. If they are behind after 3, you can already turn off the TV. It saves electricity so thank you Blazers.

    Looking at the poll question, I would say we have some serious day drinkers in here.

    Do you actually turn the TV off or just watch something else?

    Do you turn the TV off if they are winning too? It's the same thing, they are 15-0 when leading after 3 quarters.

    It's this situation where we give away a decent player with potential to another team for free or in some cases pay them to take him off our hands to avoid luxury tax payments.

    Or give up two future 2nd round picks to acquire one 2nd round pick in which we use on a guy that won't see any meaningful minutes for several years anyway.

    I know this won’t happen but I’d play Trent tonight

    Dame
    CJ
    Layman
    Aminu
    Nurkic

    Stauskas
    Trent
    Turner
    Collins

    Stagger Layman with the second unit.

    I hope we have an epic battle between Meyers and Noah this evening. By that, I mean, I want them to matchup, rub each other the wrong way, get chippy, and give us many many confused-rage faces. Inadvertent spittle would be entertaining too

    by the way, Portland has lost 7 games in a row, on the road, against playoff teams by an average of 18 points....yikes!
