    Sabonis tonight was 12-13 from the field with 26 pts and 7 rebounds, in just 19 minutes.

    Tremendous game for Sabonis but like Ammo before him (totally different styles) I'm not sure how well that translates to the NBA.

    Of course it will, he's a Sabonis, not some blockheaded Bracegirdle from Hardbottle!

    The thing that scares me about Sabonis is that he just looks kind of "stiff" Not that he is or will be a stiff, just that he looks kind of limited on offense - the Blazers are littered with bigs with the same M.O.

    Too bad I'm not the least bit superstitious or I might believe this was important.

    I think Domantas is more NBA ready than many NBA 'project' players right now, including some on our team. He has already shown that he's shooting better midrange, he really didn't do it much last year, and my guess is that by the time he gets drafted he'll be verging on 3-pt range like the old man. Package that with the fact that he is a natural rebounder, tough as hell with a nose for the ball, has great footwork and basketball IQ, (no wonder) and I think he is going high in the draft and is most likely going to be a solid NBA player. I think he's sneaky quick, if there are concerns about quickness, because he actually knows where he needs to be. He really knows how to play, passing, post moves, setting screens, boxing out, and I'd be ecstatic if the Blazers landed him.

    That team has horribly mismanaged since Jerry West left town. Sure, they won a couple titles with Kobe and Pau, but that's because West gifted them Gasol and they still had Phil Jax on the sidelines. It has been all downhill from there. It's glorious.

    Sabonis: 15 pts | 14 rebs | 7-10 fg | 23 min.

    TS% for his first two games? 93%

    Man, Simmons looks like the real deal. We probably won't have a shot at him though.

    I love it when the Blazers win but what is a few more losses in a season we probably don't make the Playoffs and are far from being a contender. When you look at the long-term impact of what having a player like that can do for a franchise, I don't root for a loss.....but they don't bother me near as much if someone like that were to come out of many of them.

    Just gotta get in the bottom 5. Lotto is no guarantee, but we want the best chance possible to land #1.

    If they drug him and then put him in a simulated world where he thinks he's playing basketball every night, they might be able to get away with it.
