    We've been worried about every team since the Pelicans beat us.

    42 points from our bench 29 assist 19 offense rebounds and 7 in double figures. Now we got 3 players with attitudes and they all stand 6'11 and above bout time and like it.

    Our bench has been doing it. Now let's hope we can reign in CJ and reduce his shot attempts.

    He struggled finishing but 6 for 14 isn't terrible at all. His rebounding and passing were very good. Set good screens as well. He definitely calms things down.

    I don't want a let down in Cleveland. Is Nic Stauskas still a Cav?

    With 3 wins in a row, the Blazers finally cracked that 12 games over 500 mark and move to a season high 13 games over 500!

    upload_2019-2-23_12-31-54.png

    If the Blazers are going to keep ahead of last years pace, they're going to have to string together a lot of road wins. This is the point in the season last year when the Blazers went on that 13 game win streak. With the way the Blazers are playing now, I'm not going to bet against them. This team is looking good!

    Simmons had 30 points ... at the rim. The whole league knows about him.

    We are like the Oakland A's playing Billy Ball. Not many mega stars just a bunch of guys that that seem to play hard and like being on Dames team.

    It's early with this Blazers team, but it's beginning to look special. This bench with the additions Neil has added are the making of something that hasn't been seen in rip city in 2 decades. If this teams stays healthy, I could see some greatness ahead. "rip city!"

    I definitely question how much we can play him in the playoffs. The Sixers were basically attacking him on every possession the same way the Blazers were attacking Boban. Sixers took Boban out of the game after 2 possessions in the 3rd quarter and he never came back in.

    But I'm not too worried, Kanter is basically playing behind a top 5-6 center in the league and Nurk should be getting most of the minutes anyways. So instead of beating up on 2nd units for 20 MPG he will only do it for 15 MPG.

    Oh you dont like CJ? Would've never guessed.

    Imagine being so negative guy cant even enjoy beating a 38-20 on the road by 15.

    Wanting to be an all star is a bad thing? How good does he think he is? I think he's pretty good. :bgrin:

    Depends on the opposing personnel. Not every team has a Ben Simmons playing with their bench.

    Despite Ben going off and Kanter struggling to finish, he was only a -4 in 21 minutes.

    It all depends on the coach's ability to contain CJ's tunnel vision.
    Terry should limit his shot attempts and spread them to Nurk, Enes, Jake..
