    Fuck it’s pissing me off how they are couple decent role players from really contending. If you don’t have a generational talent like a Doncic it’s just so fucking hard to compete in this league

    This is why +/- is not a really reliable stat imo, I mean really bad players will show bad stats like that but in no way would I say Zach is having a good game. CJ seems to have woke up at least.

    My point....
    Whiteside and Lillard have combined for four (4) points and y'all bitch anout Tolliver.
    If Dame and Haasan do what they should, it doesn't really fucking matter what Turner, err, Tolliver does.

    But wouldn't you be willing to swap Lillard/CJ for Doncic/Porzingis? I would, even if they were the same ages.

    He is really good, it really helps when the Blazers aren't playing defense inside or out though. :)

    that’s a dumb question. Anybody would do that. Considering both of those guys are hella young too.. it also doesn’t hurt Doncic is a generational talent

    Why, because of stats? The eye test is telling me that Zach is by far the best defensive player on the team this game. That's why he's a +. The best defensive lineup right now is Zach at center and Hassan out of the game.

    Curry has played well. Kleber has dropped 12 points as well. he is playing a good game. Delon Wright is at 13 and going for 20 at least.

    I like Nurk, and he's a great rim protector, but he's not a talker either. Blazers were not particularly good on defense last year even with Nurk.

    Defense is TEAM ball. Yep they need to play together.

    My eyes have seen him not boxing out, getting cooked (not completely his fault) by Porzingis, and generally being a net negative on offense. I mean I know he will have better games, but he’s not playing great basketball tonight.

    We were really good defensively with Nurk last season man, it’s easy to forget because we went deep in the playoffs but he was an absolute force in the middle and we were rotating well because of it.

    I have to say i would love to have Doncic for sure. I will also say we are very blessed to have Lillard and CJ.
    As far as KP goes? Don't want him here. Don't care how good he is.
