    I w0uld love to see him and Ayton getting involved in some two-man game. Start out at the 3-point line, 2-man game going to the hoop, get the ball to a 3-point shooter on the perimeter if the defense swarms Shae/Dominayton.
    Get some chemistry between those two players. Throw lobs to each other. Pick and roll, pick and pop, do it all.

    I am sure he can shoot 40% from three, I want Billups to figure out what helps his success rate to get it there.
    I watched him in a pre-game last season and he was calmy draining 80% of his practice threes. They were so smooth.
    Walker and Knox's 3-point shots looked so different, like there was a lid on the hoop for them.

    They're expiring contracts. Would prolly both get bought out. So we get a pick and no future money for a guy we don't need and is owed 150 mil. It's a fair exchange in my mind.

    yeah, that’s my thought process i was trying to lay out. but even then, the blazers paying any money to either of the morris twins still makes me vomit.

    that Magic game was sloppy. I hope the Blazers look a little sharper in this game. I don't care if the ball goes in or the Blazers win. I just don't want to watch another pinball passing extravaganza. Where'd the ball go? I dunno?? ... Oh hey, a Blazer grabbed it. Shoot it !!

    Only if the Clippers struggle. The Clipper fans I know think getting Harden would be insane. ( I agree) The ball movement and defense would be worse Now if either Kawai or PG has a major injury at that time then it might be possible. But they like Mann quite a bit and need minutes for him.

    Very last row. Did anyone notice we have no white players this season? Has this ever happened before in our franchise history?

    My wife brought that up to me when I was watching the last game. We didn’t have any caucasian players. I don’t think that’s ever happened before.

    Another sign that Neil Olshey is long gone.

    Last row is nice because you can stand up whenever you want. Usually space behind to put your stuff too.

    A good reason to put Rupert on him tonight for a small sample size just to see if he can slow him down. Rupert is a dawg on defense
