    Ok. He shot way better from the floor last season and way better from three. Do full seasons count?

    If only Zach Collins stayed healthy. We could have watched playoff teams dunk on him more often.

    If not Andre Miller, we would have lost by 60. I hope he can teach Scoot some magic before we trade him to contender.

    We were talking about the 1998-2000 Blazers. Zach was 2 at the time and most certainly would've been a liability.

    a cold sodium carbonate beverage is recommended. It will help dissolve whatever mystery meat McDonald's put in those nuggets that day.

    the '99 Blazers?? You'd have to bust out a Nintendo 64 to remember that roster. Generic All-Star NBA cartridge with Keith Van Horn on the cover.

    Not only that, but Chauncey's teams seem to have to clue how to play out of freelance.

    He is not that type of guy. Chauncey did just this out of halftime and Ayton gabe Zubac one of the easiest blocks of his career. He's not someone that you give the ball to and get out of the way.

    So you are so invested in this position you actually think that 19 year old will match Lillard? The kid can't shoot. You know it and so does everyone else. Draft Picks? You want more draft picks? Really? Lets see? At least they aren't over the luxury tax so they don't have to spend any more of their deceased owners estate.
    I'm happy you and many others will enjoy this season. I for one will not. The last time this team had multiple seasons under 30 wins was 2004-05 and 2005-06 followed by a 32 win season after firing a coach. Many call that era the darkest this team has had. Well Winter is coming and it's gonna get pretty dark.

    Someone here put up a comparison between Ant and Brogdon. It overwhelmingly favored Brogdon as the better overall player. Ant had some higher volume wins, but Brodgon was far more efficient, a much higher average shooter, a better defender, and a better passer. It's like the whose the greatest Blazer discussion. Dame is the best scorer, but not sure he was the best overall player. Defense, rebounding, blocks, steals, assists....all make a complete player.

    Hopefully Ant gets to the level of even where Brogdon was last year when he was one of a very few 50/40/90 guys in the history of the NBA.

    You will be able to reuse/recycle this post in April by replacing game with season.
