    Do you think the Harden debacle makes Dame wish he had handled things differently?
    Looks almost as muscular as me! He’s a guaranteed all nba if he stays healthy

    This guy is built to be Lawrence Taylor and play a couple dozen football games a year..I felt the same about Westbrook...guys who are in the wrong sport. Turf on a guy like that falling down is a lot more forgiving than a hardcourt

    There's been so much Jimmy Butler/Bam content this summer. It's like a torture-Blazers-fan algorithm has been instituted.

    So, just wanted to say, that I've watched BH - Poland game. It was a final game of a tournament for the FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament 2024 ticket.
    Nurk isn't fat, he looks good. What I would expect from Blazers S5 center is dominating in this tournament, but it really wasn't the case. Yes, his team went all the way to the finals, but they lost (to the hosts) 72:76
    Nurk was 5/15, 12reb, 4as, 5pf in this most important game of the tournament. Couldn't deliver in his last chance to score, with game on the line, he pulled one of his bunnies in the air and committed last foul.

    Still, he was best rebounder in this tournament (10) and averaged 15,4ppg with 3 assists.

    After what I saw I don't expect him to dunk the ball or being more aggressive or stop hitting this strange shots up in the air in near future. Not sure how important national games are for him.

    Usman Garuba was waived by the Rockets today. His shooting percentages weren’t bad but he didn’t seem to play many minutes. This would have been an Olshey special right here if there ever was one. I wonder where he ends up.

    Honestly, I'd rather have Garuba over Miami's Jovic

    34 year old Ed Davis is signing a deal to play in China. I wanted to bring him back to Portland as a backup but that ship has sailed
