    Don't ya think you should start playing defense when you are down by 40? Why wait until you are down 60? Too little too late!

    Curry and Green sat out that game. Sure looks to me like the Warriors have decided to go for another high lottery pick this year. Don't be surprised if Curry misses a lot of the remaining games

    I second blazerkor. It's the same reason why I get on @THE HCP about "his" Lakers lol. I think any sane basketball fan recognizes that the Nugs are legit. I'd like to see Murray pick where he left off in the bubble when the playoffs start.

    The Raptors are getting the better end of the trade? They have a better coach?

    40 million per year for Jrue. Unbelievable. Guess that McCollum trade is off the table.

    Wow, if Jrue got 40 per, I wonder what Norman (or Trent) will get?

    Also, the league will *have* to increase the salary cap going forward. 3 players can basically make up the entire salary cap now.

    trent jr will get 4/60-70, powell will get 4/70 or something like that

    How do you figure that CJ isn't in the same league?

    CJ averages more points (buy a lot), assists are similar (since CJ isnt' a PG, you wouldn't expect his #'s to be as good), he shoots better from the floor (I'm including 3 point % in this argument), similar PER, and averages similar rebounding #s.

    Because defense is a thing. Maybe not so much in Portland to some fans and certainly not the coaching staff it seems, but it's still a valued commodity to contending teams.

    Blazers have 7th best defense in NBA since Nurk returned. RoCo was right.
