    I always say who wins the rebound battle usually wins the game. There winning the rebound battle plus 8 offense boards.

    it seems like just yesterday, Oct 27, when Portland beat a team with a winning record. When will it happen again? tonight?....next year?

    The only way it'll happen is if the other team beats themselves and misses a lot of shots...cause our defense aint gonna do anything.

    Before this game, Simons had the same effective field goal percentage as CJ McCollum. He who gets paid $27 million to shoot the ball. It may not matter if he's 20 or not, but he's a lot cheaper than CJ McCollum.

    Good analogy by the Chuckster between the Clippers and the Blazers. They had Paul, Blake and Jordan but also had injury issues too but went as far as they could go and they broke it up and rebuilt. It certainly helps that they are a large market, even if every Blazer was healthy, are they on par with the Clippers or Lakers this year? Very doubtful.

    One has upside. One is capped. One can still get way better because hes 20. One is capped.

    How hard is this to understand? Its so simple.

    I dont want to sound negative all the time but as someone who loves good defense, this version of the Blazers is so frustrating to watch, not only are they out of position like 3/4ths of the time the effort kind of comes and goes. They make some highlight plays here and there I guess...

    Neither team is playing like they really give a shit, so it's definitely possible.
