    lamarcus for whiteside seems like a good trade, as much as a like whiteside.

    We’re gonna have three players that prefer playing the 5 (Nurk, Collins, Whiteside). If we got LA we could have Dame, CJ, Hood, LA, Nurk - with Collins off the bench.

    Something concerning. 16 assists in the first half. 5 in the second.

    Same old story. They get down and they start playing iso ball and completely abandon what had been working previously. Seen this movie before.

    As many, I wasn't high about Whiteside this season but one thing I have to give him - 5/5 on FT line looks so solid in his stats line. I love it. He said, he's going to improve it and he did.

    Hope Terry and CJ can finally see the corelation beetween sharing the ball and winning games.

    Another thing for Lillard's brilliancy: We gonna see more lobs from Lillard to Whiteside. Lobs wasn't in his game before, but he can constanly add new things to it. When he throw it up, it was like: 'finally". I'm pretty sure it will grow with time an I love it.

    And I'm so concerned about Carmello cos o Little. I so much hope Little stays in S5. That man is pure Effort. He brings so much crazy love for the game. At 111:111 he saved the game for Blazers. Can't afford to bench someone like him.

    Now it has to go to Terry, that we blowing big lead again. Again again and again. Every time I recall that last GS series in playoffs... Terry, please, watch those tapes and try not to let it happen again.

    CJ. Pass the fuckin ball!!! Pass the ball and you are all star.

    Normally I'd say something like "thankfully no one in the forum is making asinine predictions after 2 games", but I agree. Little probably looks great in a wedding dress.

    That was the most enjoyable game I've seen them play this year, especially the 4th quarter. Everybody contributed a little something which has been a rarity this year. Dame talked about the lob potential this off-season and saw it realized a bit tonight with even CJ getting in on the action with Whiteside. I guess we got good Whiteside tonight. I wonder if we could trade Collins/Whiteside for Aldridge? I'm sure including Collins would upset a lot of people, but Pop would need some wooing and a young big might be appetizing enough. It might be the best thing for Collins career, working with Duncan/Pop, and Aldridge works better for the Blazers current window. Aldridge seemed to have an effortless gaudy stat line tonight without being forced fed. He might really work well now in a complementary role. Aldridge, Nurk, Little has a better chance of turning us into a respectable defensive unit, which is our biggest issue. The Spurs would have to reeling around the trade deadline for them to consider I imagine.

    Little is a revelation and just what the doctor ordered. Lots of holes on this team, with energy and hustle being one of them, and Little shores that up a lot. Is this the same guy who looked lost and unrefined in summer league? That's exponential growth over 4 months. I'm trying to figure him out, because he's not exceptionally long or high a leaper. He seems to have quick hops, though, a little like Zach Randolph or maybe good timing like Joel Pryzbilla. Agreed, a little worried how it works with Carmelo. Hopefully, Melo buys into being a 15 minute 2nd unit microwave type guy. Good win and best of all, it renews a little hope for the season.

    Nasr Little already contributing. Neil OShay made mistakes getting rid of his effort players ... trying to go finesses ...
    Talking about a stupid GM.
    Now he signs another no-defense player. Insanity is really going on at this club. Stott should fired 3 year ago in favor of one who emphasizes defense.
    We ain't making the playoffs... you heard it here first.
