    Saw report that Celtics are considering Becky Hammon or Kara Lawson for head coaching job. Blazers? Doesn't look like it.

    The NBA really has to do something about these dominating teams like the Nets. It's just not that compelling to watch!

    You need five all-stars on one team to beat the Nets

    Just a great offense...Mike will be our next coach!
    A potent offense waters down a solid defensive team like Milwaukee.
    No of any solid offensive coaches that might be avalable?

    Can the Blazers of old of Sabonis, Sheed, Smith, Damon and Scottie beat the Nets?

    How do you come to this conclusion? Have you seen the 20-25 names that were going to be submitted to Jody?

    Michael Porter Jr. is amazing to watch offensively but defensively he’s ... something.

    Well so far Phoenix doesn't have a good idea how to guard Denver either.

    1-5 on wide open 3s. Forum would be going bonkers.

    They are playing too fast. Phoenix played slow and methodical thru the regular season but Denver is dictating the pace

    No but I have seen reports and they aren't on it. I could be pleasantly surprised.

    Olshey has said all reports so far are false; all the "lists" did not come from Blazers.

    You gotta wonder how far Phoenix may have gone in the bubble last year if LaVert had hit the shot. They were playing very well with Rubio.
