    The refs made me feel sick as well. This crew should be disbanded.

    We do have the minutes. He should play ahead of Keon. Take Keons minutes.

    That's not a lot of minutes, Chris. Not enough to justify that signing, is it?

    Idk. We need defense. Winslow being out has screwed us.

    Sure we can leave it at that but you "seeing" shit and me "thinking" I'm seeing shit is some pretty condescending bullshit but again I agree that we can leave it at that.

    That's because our 6th man and best bench scorer is our starting 2 guard. Ya know, like the last ten years.....

    GP2 would also take minutes away from Dame/Ant/Hart who all seem like they are overworked.

    Need Nas back too.

    I was vehemently against the signing of Payton, but this team just needs bodies at this point.

    Hart plays his ass off on defense. He doesn't need to be traded. The Blazers need someone else in the starting lineup that plays like him who will take and make the 3-pointers that Hart isn't doing well at.
    Walker seems like he could do that.

    I kind of agree with Billups on what he just said in his post game. Starters are doing their job but they are a bit young on the bench. Another solid bench player might do wonders for this team.

    I think this team will play better when they have Winslow Payton and Little back.

    His shot is getting blocked because he's dribbling into double teams like we have seen forever in the past at times.
