    One where the bigger more athletic team won.

    Definitely caution when Reddish is playing against his former team. He needs to do it again. Hopefully he does.

    Give me a break. The starting lineups are virtually the same height and the Blazers have plenty of athleticism.

    And didn't we just lose to New Orleans without their starting center and power forward? What was your excuse that night?

    That's correct I bet...hes a very methodical careful junior GM that's trying to make room for 30million dollar Grant and another pick. He's got Bert in his hear constantly I bet as Bert has taken up Pauls conduit from the GM and coach to owner.

    Time for Shaedon to grow up on the court at 20, and become more aggressive even if he makes mistakes. The game nowadays is pick up fast pace rat ball and he hasn't really shown that as yet.

    If we were trying to win I'd rather have Nurkic available than Grant if I had to choose.

    Grant can score, but he is much more of a help defender than a lock-down defender, and his rebounding is almost non-existant. Grant is 14th.....14TH on the team in rebounds per 36 mins. Damn!

    yeah, that's why I said 5-7M. Don't want 4 year contracts either

    but three year deals in that range are decent trade assets as well as decent bench players

    I was being facetious. I don’t care about individual scoring numbers if our team sucks

    And we had no one to defend Murray the past two times we played them he’s had career highs. Players have career nights on us often.

    We had five people on the court at all times. It has nothing to do with athleticism or how big they are, they don't play defense and/or their coach doesn't know how to teach defense. Either way it's embarrassing to watch. Not sure how anything I've said is very controversial at this point...

    If that's not sobering enough, he's rebounding above his career rate.
