Lillard plays 38 - 40 minutes a night. He's young and won't want to come out, anyway. Earl Watson picks up the rest. Matthews plays more like 35...
Not sure I'd agree. Earl Watson is a B- backup point guard. He's a little old, but he's plenty good enough for that spot. Dorrell Wright...
Re: Office: welcome earl Watson thread It looks like he's signing for the veteran's minimum. Not to get all "Portland insecure" - but why did he...
There are some vague similarities, the main one being that the team is attempting to make up for its lack of superlative stars (one All-Star at PF,...
One thing to remember: the Blazers of course tanked at the end of the season - so the total number of losses may seem amplified, but the Blazers were...
It's the national guys because people with inside information want to see their info go far and wide, carried by a nationally-recognized byline....
... and yet his worst FG% since his rookie season. Will be curious to see how he fits in.
37% career 3-point percentage (on lots of attempts) isn't bad. Here's a somewhat pessimistic view of D Wright from rotoworld.com:...
Can those be combined? $3.5 mil and $2.6 mil could bring in a couple of serviceable bench players (which might be all the Blazers need, anyway), but...
Seems to me that getting Robin Lopez is a solid upgrade, and unless you've got another team over a barrel or you've got something really tantalizing...
4.) They're coming from the Bulls - who are trying to lower Aldridge's trade value and get the Blazers to swallow something less than he's worth.
Let's see - get no better at three positions (PG, SG, and SF), get much worse at one (PF), and get marginally better at one (C). If the idea is to...
Agreed. Depending on how the last ten games go, the Blazers will wind up with a record slightly better than I thought, and a lot better than what...
Thankful for a team that holds some promise, and doesn't feel like a slow-motion train wreck like the last few years. I appreciated Nate McMillan,...
I would put Aldridge in a tie for #2 with Rasheed Wallace behind Maurice Lucas.
I think if the Blazers can follow something that resembles the Celtics' model of a few years ago, and the Pistons of a few years before that, they...
Yet when the Blazers allowed their opponents to put the big orange ball in the metal hoop more times than they did themselves - whether during live...
In games where Jared Jeffries plays at least 8 minutes, the Blazers are 5-0. Games in which Jeffries plays fewer than 8 minutes, the Blazers are 0-5....
Batum is among the best SFs in the NBA. Aldridge is among the best PFs. Lillard might be among the best PGs, but we haven't seen him in enough games...
I think I'm a little more optimistic than the typical NBA commentators who are predicting 30-35 wins, but I still only see about 40 wins. There are...
