    A healthy Dame back with these guys makes us look like a contender.

    There's Nothing Like a Dame

    16pt lead going into the half, I love it. I love this assertive and dominant attitude of just "Sweeping the Leg" of lesser teams. It's the NBA so gotta come out locked in the 3rd so Dame doesn't have to play the 4th. Just a fantastic half!

    There premeter defense been weak all year without Collins and poeltl back protecting the rim I can see why the blazers score as much as they did.

    Still feels weird to see a spurs team that is this bad. Blazers lighting them up.

    If Pop gets Wemby from this tank job, I bet he looks ten years younger next season.

    They are choosing the right year to tank and need an influx of talent.

    Pop actually doing a decent job with these guys. They have a lot injuries all season and really they don't have know superstars. None of spurs players would start on majority of the NBA teams. Poeltl possibly start on a a lot of teams and Zach is solid backup still ways ago to be a starter. Johnson probably be a good 6th man.

    They kind of remind me of the team we were running out there the second half of last season. Lots of young guys and bench players playing a lot more minutes then they should be.

    the last unicorn similar to Wemby was Porzingis and he didn't alter any balance of power. And yeah, I know, Wembeyana looks better, but I think he's getting a bit overrated at this point

    turnovers are Portland's Achilles Heel
