    Not sure where the disrespect it. Portland is terrible defending '3's. Time after time, opponents will get WIDE OPEN '3's against us. Scrubs will have season/career highs. Someone asked him a question and he said 'it was possible'. He didn't say he would, nor was he making any type of guarantee or prediction. There is a reason the reporter asked the question.....because it would seem to have a higher chance of happening with our defense and then the injuries.

    I get that is sucks where we are as a franchise right now, but seems like we are getting too easily offended. Then again, that is a very Portland thing....which will probably offend some. :drinkapint:

    I'm pretty sure they'd have answered the same regardless of opponent.

    Seems CJ's injury is worse than expected: collapsed lung. Sounds serious. Probably a couple weeks???

    Here are the things I would like to see. Bring the ball up quickly and attack as soon as possible. If no opportunity then I would hope for a lot of player and ball movement, (Although I am guessing we will try to post Nurk a lot; I hope that he will be ready to pass out if he doesn't have good position and one on one.) On defense I want to see us getting back quickly and working hard and communicating and being smart. I want to see us fight for every rebound and loose ball. If they do all that and still lose by 30, I'd feel ok.

    We got these guys right where we want them.
    They're way overconfident and don't think we have a chance.

    When do the injury reports typically come out?
    Last I saw, both Little & Ant were 'day to day'.

    I'd love to see this team run w/o CJ for a few weeks. Dame/Norm in the starting back court + Little/RoCo (or Nance) as starting forwards + Nurk.

    You know if you have another favorite team, maybe you shouldn’t be posting in this forum FAMS!

    What are the odds Curry gets the record tonight? Can you bet on it? Seems impossible but given this defense, stranger things have happened. He can easily make three 3s per quarter. So that's 12. He goes on a run and it could happen. 16-20 from 3. The ~worst defense/team in the league vs. the best shooter of all time/best team in the league.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    The record for threes in a game is 13, shared by Curry and Zach LaVine. At a minimum, I think it would require an overtime game, maybe a double overtime game. And Curry would have to be blazing.

    I think the chances are well under a percent, but it's not theoretically impossible.

    Oh yeah, I forgot about that. So it's plausible, just very unlikely.
