    Mostly agree... I look forward to Nurk getting an opportunity to show he can defend out at 30ft without fouling or getting beat. I truly hope he succeeds because that will change a lot for us.

    So can/will Portland do anything on the buyout market? There are some solid players available.

    I think we should stand pat and give Nas, Simons, Giles more minutes. How else are they supposed to develop? Letting CJ2 get a few min a game wouldn’t be bad either. Blevins shouldn’t be on the roster.

    We could have lost Harry in the Bermuda Triangle during this Florida trip and no one would have noticed. Guy's been "DNP-MIA" for weeks.

    That’s on Stotts, like most of our teams issues.

    People hate half our contributors and love the bench warmer. So odd.

    Haha, that's funny. Wish he was serious and planned on daring Dame and CJ to hit wide open shots.

    I don’t hate any of our contributors, I hate our coach and all of his “philosophies”. It’s not winning basketball. Neither our contributors or bench warmers are being put in a position to be successful. Only the generational talent of Dame has kept us an average to above average basketball team the past 9 years.

    I'm a literal guy, but I think 27-18 is winning basketball.

    If Dame is the only one keeping us average, what do you think our winning percentage is w/out dame over the last 9 years?

    As great as Dame is not only as a player and person, his downside is his Defense.Think of all the super stars that are great on offense and defense, and those that are either one or the other.
    If we had a lock down defender next to Dame he would still be an average defender at best. Dame is so much better at scoring and clutch ,and 35 and beyond, where others are not, that are deemed super stars. If a player is going to be viewed as all NBA first team super star, that player better be outstanding in overall game. Just my opinion. Nothing against Dame or others, so dont start calling out crucify, crucify.

    Starting may be up in the air, but it would be unsurprising if they finished games together (Nurk-RoCo-3Gs).

    WTF is Rodney talking about? I always liked him, it just sucked he got injured. Now he comes across like a D-bag.
