    Seemed like there were many who thought Richardson was an improvement over CJ for us. He no longer registers there?

    Actually Carlisle has been average at best. In last 9 years he's been bounced form first round 5 times and not made the offs 4, including last year.

    Don't forget Kleber and Hardaway Jr.....many wanted them as well and for good reason. Their team has talent.
    Before the start of the season, most Blazer fans picked the Mavs to make a big jump. Now I would be surprised if they still passed us based on the remaining schedules, but still, it surprises me they are not doing better.

    The Jazz-Lakers game is in the afternoon today, and by rule, games can't be less than 24 hours apart - so they moved up the Jazz home game yesterday.

    Yeah, I wanted Bey. But Nassir is taking the sting out of that one. Still, I hate giving up 1st round picks. Little is a bit bigger, more athletic with a longer wingspan. And regardless of what anyone says he is not a SG. SF of the future.

    This Jazz-Lakers game is interesting. No stars, no clear leaders. Just a bunch of second/third-tier players trying to make the best of their situations.

    Utah's ball movement is impressive, especially their interior passing game. But they've got nobody to handle Drummond on the other end.

    Ilyasova certainly stayed ready for his chance:

    Always happens. Blazers bout to overtake a team in the standings and that team wins a game they should lose.
