I kind of like Aminu at 3 and Swanigan at 4. I just feel like we need to start the game with our best defender if we are going to roll out a rookie...
If I were to point to one major difference this year, it's that nobody is talking about him possibly starting or playing major minutes at the 4. He's...
When Portland went from 41 wins in 2007 to 54 wins in 2008, it probably wasn't a coincidence we went from -84 Total Rebounding Differential for the...
That Swanigan video--I gotta say, looking at his dead-cold demeanor and those big fucking arms....I kind of get why Nurk thinks this team this team...
I think a lot of people are underestimating just how NBA ready he is. People see seven feet, skinny and a lot of shot blocking and assume he's a...
Well, you may not consider it a gift, but when somebody hands a player with no track record of success an extremely rare opportunity to be one of 30...
Vonleh's injury is something of a godsend, really, because it ensures there's a real competition for the job at the start of the season. Somebody...
Just look a the voting. There isn't "some of you." There's just me. It took me 5 seasons of failure for me to finally give up on Meyers, so yeah, I...
Last year's team reminds me of the 07-08 Blazers team that also won 41 games. That team had two young studs (Roy/Aldridge vs Dame/CJ) and a ton of...
Portland has a ton of options at the 4 now. The days of gifting Vonleh the starting job for a season are over (thank heavens). Vonleh reminds me a...
It's lonely here on Collins Island. But I'm ok with that. I think Stotts is going to see that he's probably our best defensive option at 4, and...

Fantastic signing. One of the best career three point shooters in NBA history, looking at that chart. And I assume that includes his down year with...
Thanks Maris! I'm happy to take 15% off your order. PM me your email address and I'll see we do it.
Definitely a lot more reasons to be optimistic about Nurk. This guy is 5 years away from being in his prime. He might have snuck up on a few teams...
I had to double check that--you are totally right. Yeah, I hate to admit it but I agree with you. He was never going to get paid anywhere near that...
In hindsight, another move that really fucked us was trading Batum. He'd look soooo good on the current roster. But yeah, Paul George would look...
Eh, if we'd given Pat the starting role for 82 games I'd be a lot harsher in my judgment. But Vonleh shouldn't be compared to Pat--his yardstick is...
Eh, given his featured role as a starter, getting to play major minutes with our best players this year, I'm not really sold on his improvement. I'm...
One other thought--Portland really seems to have a great three point shooting culture. Between Dame and CJ, you've got two of probably the top 5...
