    That place would have exploded if he would have busted his ankles and scored. As it was Felton kind of knew that was a big moment. You could see him get really serious all the sudden.

    I've noticed this as well which is kind of sad but oh well, he made his choice. Players say he is a good teammate but that would get so old to me.

    I would prioritize resigning guys like this...

    Curry
    Chief
    Hood
    Kanter

    I just think we could get an Ed Davis or someone like to start for 3/4 of a season and I also think Skal and Zach could give us minutes there.

    I’m hoping we trade ML and a 1st to clear his salary from our cap before the season. However, Moe is really growing on me and I’d like him for next years playoff run. I’m really hoping ETs 18 mil expiring gets dealt at next years deadline.

    If any didn't see the postgame with Westbrook/George (evidently they can't stand on their own and the postgame proved it), you need to see it. Their fans must be so proud--especially when you compare it to a Dame interview after a loss. And I agree that PG seems to be adopting that adolescence of Westbrick.

    I would love McGee on this team, mainly because it means he wouldn’t be somewhere else destroying us catching lobs from literally anyone.

    He and Dame in the pick n roll would be death

    ...assuming Dame works on his lob throwing. He's definitely no Andre Miller.

    True, but lobs to McGee don’t often have to be that good to be effective. ET would have a field day throwing lobs to him

    No doubt and Dame knows this too...... "A series doesn't start until you win on the road, warns Lillard ... And I also know how capable their team is"

    I will be absolutely shocked if we even came close to winning in game 3. It would have to be a scenario where OKC was up "comfortably" in the 4th and CJ, Curry, and Hood went off against their bench to get us back in the game.....and Dame came in to finish them off.

    Game 4 might be a possibility to steal, but either way we need our bench to step up on the road where they tend to play with less confidence. Regardless this is far from over.

    Is it just me or with a little more development couldn’t Skal be McGee, but with a jump shot?

    Dame said in his on-court postgame interview that they want to get atleast one.

    Imo we need to close this series at home in game 5, I don’t wanna go to OKC for game 6 and I don’t wanna play 2 super stars in game 7.

    Holy shit. That's literally the first time I've watched this guy, and what a fucking cringe-fest. The moment he started calling himself daddy I was outta there. WTF is it with (a) this guy and guys like him and (b) people that WATCH this guy and guys like him!?!

    I will say one thing though.

    Evan Turner is THRASH. We NEED to stop playing him.

    I think he is the worst player on the team. And I'm not even joking or exagerating
