    Warriors could throw out 4 on 5 and the Blazers MIGHT get it closer to 20 down but since that is not happening we call all rest knowing the Blazers are locked in at the 5 spot in the lottery. This year was something else not in a good way and hopefully the Blazers can get lucky in the Lotto and offseason but we have a fool as GM so who knows.

    The delusional part here is that you somehow think it doesn’t?

    Just checked this tweet out. Looks like the ONLY way the Lakers get in as the 6th seed is if we come back and win.

    Sharpe will be a star. That’s a certainty imo

    15/5/2 in the half for Sharpe. Not a bad 1st half.

    The question is will it be as a Blazer?

    I think it would be wise to not put too much weight on individual performances during the last month of the season when there is is zero pressure on players to win and they're not being required to play a role next to other starting caliber players.

    Does that mean Sharpe is garbage and can't be in All-Star? No.

    Is this month proof that Sharpe is a future star in this league that the Blazers should build around? No, I think that conclusion is premature as well.

    No, you're not allowed to take anything away from this game, or previous games. Unless we are because they're playing hard? But we don't know if they're playing hard because they know they can win? But their starters are out there so they must be? But they're up big so maybe not? I'll wait for resident expert to tell us what we can or can not take away.

    Glad we are losing, but getting embarrassed is another thing

    Is this worse than last year’s team tank when Billups started and played heavy minutes to Elleby?

    I don’t judge it by who he’s playing with or he’s playing against. The game comes easy to stars. Almost at their own pace. To see this kind smoothness out of 19 year old shows me a lot. Already has a lot of tricks in his bag.

    He is the greatest 19 year old rookie blazer that I have seen in the months of March and April in my lifetime.
