    Ja Morant is back and the Grizzlies have gone back to losing. Down 9 to OKC right now.

    I haven’t been paying attention to the NBA since the Blazers have been losing, I didn’t realize how bad a lot of other teams were. After watching the PHI/BOS game, all things considered, I’d rather be us than the Celtics, Mavs, Pels, Lakers, etc…

    If we happen to slip out of the playoff hunt, I think a gutted roster for tradeable salary, young expirings, and 4-6 1sts for the next few years would be huge. One tanking year doesn’t make our situation any worse than those teams mentioned, especially if Dame is serious about signing a 2 year extension.

    Using the extra cap space to fill up with vets on 1 year deals would give up cap space in 2023 to go after someone. Porzingis, Middleton, Draymond, Jokic, Wiggins, Barnes, Gallinari, Grant, Turner, Wood all possibly in that free agency class.

    Amazing.. even Draymond Jr. knows how to dish out dimes at an early age.

    Is it too late to re-sign Stoudamire and Sheed for a 10 day contract?

    Jokic with a monster game tonight: 29 pts, 21 reb.
    .
    .
    .
    Except it took him 34 shots and he got blocked by Ish Smith when the game still was in doubt with about a minute left in a loss to the Hornets. Nuggets fall back under .500.

    Kemba Walker was flirting with a triple double. He had 44pts 9 rebounds and 8 assists tonight.

    As much as everyone's jumping out the window about the Blazers, after tonight there'll probably be 5 teams in the West over .500.
