    He's got some really good teammates around him. Other than LaMarcus, and Wes, I feel the rest of the Utah team is better than the team that was around Dame. Dame is a better facilitator. Mitchell is an awesome offensive talent for sure.

    I like to thank the Pels for shooting their wad against our Blazers. They didn't miss against us. Now Holiday is brick city, missing many open looks that were nothing but net. Same goes for Miratitties. Hellooooo, time to show up fellas. And the Brow looks scared of Draybiotch. Frustrating to watch.

    Gobert is class but the rest of that teams is just decent/good players who are far from top tier. Rubio, Ingles and Favors are not star quality, last year Rubio was considered a flop. The bench isn’t all that either - Exum coming back from a long injury, Crowder who has struggled all season long, a 27-year old rookie Royce O’Neale, Udoh and Jerebko don’t really look like the best bench in the league.

    Organic teams like Utah, Portland, and Toronto being forced to compete with teams bolstered by mercenaries is a frustrating reality.

    Breaking News: Lowry and DeRozan will team up with Lebron next year. If you can’t beat him, join him.

    Watching the end of this Sixers/Celtics game.
    Why can't portland play with this type of intensity?

    Because Stotts is more worried about being Dame and CJ’s friend and not hurting anyone’s feelings

    Yep. Cause you can't motivate players to play with intensity without busting their balls.

    Give me a freaking break. IMO, it has more to do with setting a extremely high standard and not being content with 'good enough'

    I’m referring to “hurting people’s feelings”. Settle down
