    We are definitely watching “Whoops, we should have integrated Shaedon into the lineup more than we did”

    I was under the impression the Blazer are supposed to lose? Hence the "Both Teams Blew it".
    It was sarcasm but I decided it was obvious enough that it didn't need green font. That premise seems to be wrong a quite often around this place.

    I can agree with this statement. I hoping that it remains true.

    I'll say it again. This is all nice and fluffy but it isn't real. Happy he is getting minutes and performing well. No I'm not ready to call him the second coming of MJ/Kobe.

    Yeah they won't be moving up. Best they can do is hold what they got.

    Gross. Towns should have negative value on his contract. You can't be trying to rehabilitate players on supermax contracts. It's too risky.

    Not to mention Dame would hate playing with him just as much as Jimmy did.

    talent wise Kat is as close to their level as anyone. If he’s available I would target him. He and Dame in pick and roll would be deadly. Be a big upgrade over Nurk and defensively could make huge difference.

    You and I were beating that Shaedon drum pretty hard last summer.

    Towns isn't even in the same universe as Jokic and Embiid.

    Make a huge difference defensively? You mean a negative difference, right?

    My biggest miss was Johnny Davis. I hit everything else, including the Chet injury risks.

    A lot of people were saying he was the most NBA ready player in the draft.

    It's been a day. I'm still trying to figure out what Anderson was trying to do on that final shot.

    Biggest NBA upset in 30 years? Amazing.

    Yeah, I'll definitely return a couple of lotto balls to see some of our young players learning how to win. Best of both worlds.

    Best of both worlds would mean that you want a worse position in the draft.

    And Edwards laughing after picking Sharpe in the backcourt for the dunk.

    Karma. Love it.
