    Everyone on floor level stay in your seats. DO NOT leave open chairs near Anthony Edwards

    The post was about drafts after the 80s. Also, all the Blazers euros were taken outside the lottery so that comparison removes Dame CJ Roy Aldridge. Literally every example on your list doesn't apply.

    So out of non lottery picks how does Euro vs US compare this century for the Blazers?

    We had US guys like Nolan Smith and Caleb Swanigan. I'm not certain the Euros are better - but there's certainly a lot of euro success stories and a lot of US players that were bust so it's pretty ridiculous to claim Blazers have had some clear much worse track record in drafting euros.

    Not really sure TNT is doing themselves any favors having Draymond Green on the show. I wonder what the regulars think about that really?

    Would Gafford, Lively get lob passes and dunk if Dame was their PG?

    Obviously not as they'd be way outside setting screens for Dame to jack up 30 footers and get trapped.

    Looking like two sweeps in the conference finals. Boring.

    Blazer fans, wondering why we could never do what the Mavs are doing with Dame and CJ.

    Because both guards don’t know how to pass lobs for easy baskets

    This Minny-Dallas series is really fun to watch. Despite the 3-0 lead

    You can weed out closet Minnesota fans by reposting the final 5 minutes ...

    a fairly unspectacular trade deadline that has helped propel the Mavs to a finals appearance. Taking Lively at #12 nad signing Derrick Jones for a vet minimum are looking like masterclass moves too
