    I think Gary is going to regret not taking that extension offer and hoping for that big contract

    Lillard shots were all short. Does he not have his legs under him yet? He said he trained hard but man he was killing it in first half and then his shot disappeared. CJ was on fire but this is only way CJ is good when he is on fire otherwise liability. Just dint understand idiot stotts not doubling harden when dude was on fire . Good win il take it but i do see defense

    Hopefully, "universe" = Olshey and Houston's GM.

    Yes definitely. I give credit that the last play included a pass.

    It's weird that I have to give credit for that but sure. You got it.

    Kind of glad it went to OT. Blazers needed the extra playing time to get their shit together.

    NBA teams pay rougly $130m to their players this year and $10m to their coaches. Seems like an appropriate ratio with the value I think the players are to the coaches. That doesn't factor in that owners are limited on their player salaries, but not coaches salaries, so maybe the ratio would be higher if they could.

    I like to give the majority of the credit to the 90%, not the 10%. Does that seem reasonable?

    If you want to give the majority of the credit for tonights win to the coaches, that's totally your right. I'll tip my cap to the guys on the floor though. So glad we won!

    Any wins are good wins especially the way this team play. I will see replay at tomorrow I will then base my opinion more about the game. We did have 25 assist and we out rebound them by 3. Our 2 starting guards shot 58 times and played over 40 minutes each. CJ shot the ball well tonight but Dame and CJ has to start getting more players involved.

    Starters looking good playing together, now come up with a new bench rotation.

    If that’s true then you should have no problem with changing out the coach every year, since, based on your theory, coaches have little to no bearing on the outcome of most games. Does that seem reasonable?

    I like the effort from enes, roco, and djj. Lots of heart in those and no quit. Enes really helped to keep them in there imho in the first half.

    CJ was so good on offense tonight... he did all of that shit without turning the ball over.
