    In the video that Kanter is making with Adams, that is the first time I've seen him with his hair down. Has anyone seen him and Jason Momoa (Aquaman) in the same place at the same time? I think not....

    Good post and I liked it, but seriously, an Aquaman reference over the obvious Game of Thrones reference? Headshake, lol. :)

    I can't help but feel incredibly impatient waiting for Thursday! One can only watch so many Enes Kanter highlight reels...

    Watched Enes Kanter interview this morning. Seems like a good guy that fans can get behind. He seemed very appreciative of the Knicks fans and excited to be a Blazer. Loved the story of how he honed his English.

    Great interview. Dude is genuinely hyped to be joining the team. Props to him for speaking up against the authoritarian regime in Turkey.

    As far as I'm concerned, this is the most talented post-LaMarcus team we've had.

    Props to you for saying something good about the Blazers! heh :).

    Seriously I don't know if the Bar is that high, but yeah I agree there isn't a lot of "top end" NBA Talent, but they have a lot of capable depth! I think they got a chance to get out of the 1st round.

    Before the moves, the second unit had good energy and good chemistry, and for the first time in seemingly forever was helping win games.

    Let's hope the team as constructed with the new players has good chemistry in time for the playoffs.

    :cheers:

    That might be hard to evaluate for a while. I mean most of those games the bench looked good in....... were at home.

    that's the concern...look at the home/road splits for the 2nd unit:

    Turner - home +8.9....road -10.5
    Collins - home +6.4....road -14.0
    Layman - home +8.6....road -0.3
    Meyers - home +3.3....road -18.8
    Curry - home +13.7....road -9.4

    Hood - home -7.6....road -14.2 (45 of 49 games for Cleveland)

    it's not just one or two, it's every one of them playing poorly

    Hopefully Kanter can help that and nice to see Layman holding his own on the road.
