I’m sure they got him just to keep Sharpe happy. Rumor has it that Sharpe was going to walk if they didn’t put another kid from Canada on the roster.
Exactly my question. Not sure you could feed someone a rebound even if you wanted to.
The tank has begun. What else is new?
How do you do that?
Impressive performance by the Blazers. No Grant, no Brogdon, no Sharpe. and yet they made it competitive.
Well, it’s obvious you don’t. If all of us on this board know the Blazers were tanking the last two years, the commissioner of the NBA surely knows...
And yet Portland played their starters in most of the games they tanked the last two years. Odd. You’d think if you were trying to lose games you...
No, Einstein, you leave them in because the game is out of reach and you know they’re not going to injure themselves trying to make a play—and...
Guys play much harder in playoff games. This was not a playoff game—and there was no chance to win with only 35 seconds left.

A draft pick can’t be part of the future?
Nobody plays that hard in the last 35 seconds of a game that is out of reach. If you knew anything about the NBA, you would know that. And please...

A reward to get into the game for 35 seconds?
I guess Ayton took the night off. That’s what “max” players do, right?
So Billups pulls his starters with 35 seconds to go? Good grief. Just let them play it out. It’s pointless to put in the bench for the last half...
Wow. Nice half for Henderson against a very good team. Maybe he’s got something after all?
Exactly. Portland is a great example of why you shouldn’t tank.
Ha, ha. Whoo-eeee! That was excellent!
You can justify tanking all you want, but even the NBA knows it’s wrong, which is why they fined Mark Cuban for admitting to doing it. It’s a little...
