Steven A. Smith made some cracks about Zion's weight. Here's the Pels' response:

That is brutal lol

 

I saw that Thunder waived Aleksej Pokuševski. 7’ forward. I’d love for Blazers to give him a feeler. Waive Moses

 

Just noticed Wemby was an assist short of a 5x5 last night. I believe the last player to get one was Nurkic a few years ago. His was the first 20/20 5x5 ever.

 

Why not? Play him at starting PG. He would help with tank and he has potential.

 

Hornets/Warriors tonight. Hornets win is huge for us.

 

Truly amazing.

 

Wizards on 10 game losing streak

 

Big game on Sunday

 

Spurs guards can't shoot, 35% FG. The Lakers scratched out a win. Coach Ham won't get fired tomorrow.

 

Cameron Payne's best shooting night in 2 months. Cavs fall to the Sixers

 

2 games had chippy grabby pushy scuffles. I don't think anyone will get suspended.

 

100%. When we shut Deandre down within the next few games we should sign Poku and play him a bunch with Bari and Duop. Honestly tonight/last night should have been the last game for Jerami and by the time we play the Hornets again on April 3rd Ant should be resting his whatever for the rest of the season.

The tank needs to be on and until Scoot and Shae get back, we should feature Poku and figure out if he's worth signing for next season.

 

I'm assuming OKC waived him because he's an injury magnet who can't stay healthy and has been a terrible shooter when he has been healthy enough to play. Seems that i f the Blazers want another bad shooter (why?), there are plenty to choose from without going after another injury-prone big

 

Yeah it’s not like the Blazers have the luck like the Spurs who can pick up an often injured player (Collins) and get quality minutes out of him. We in Blazerland don’t do that sort of thing.

 

And then he got one the very next night - meaning he was one assist away from doing in back to back games what practically no player has done ever. (And almost certainly if he had less inept teammates he would've got that assist.)

Trying VERY HARD not to imagine us winning the lottery last year, thinking about how close we came to having a team with a chance for the first time in decades.
