    Add Matisse, and the Blazers could have the most defensively dynamic 6'6" and under squad in league history. I honestly wonder how well a GP2/Hart/Thybulle/Nas/Winston lineup would be able to perform even against normal-sized lineups. I mean the perimeter shooting would be pretty terrible, but they'd be filthy on defense.

    A couple of good performances by Aussies the other night.

    Jock Landale with 17 pts @ 50%, 7 reb, 2 blk



    Rookie Dyson Daniels with 11 pts @ 80%, 3 reb, 2 ast, 3 stl, 1 blk and good defence on Doncic

    I like that trade for all 3 teams. Man those are exactly the players the Lakers need to contend. Knicks get another star. Raptors get haul of young players, picks, and an expiring contract.

    He shot well from 3 at the Olympics 5/12 41.7%. Small sample size I know, but he had his coaches and teammates enthusiastic support, and really only shot from the corner; so it's possible he could improve.

    Do you think he could’ve helped us this year? When we were tanking, you said a rookie wouldn’t help Dame.

    No, keep Doc, let these deplorable foul merchants crumble and slide into the Delaware.

    Get your shit straight if you are going to CONTINUOUSLY come at me. I said the #7 pick wouldn’t make an immediate impact. Would the #1 pick, sure why wouldn’t he?

    Do you still think Miami is trash and if so, what does that make the Blazers?

    Haven't you been listening. Every team that's not the Blazers is trash. Get it.

    For real though, Miami isn't trash, but they also aren't as good as they were made to look last night. They were desperate for a win. The Blazers had a bad night. It is what it is.

    Why aren't they that good? They were a bucket away from reaching the finals. Their losses this season have been to the last three franchises besides themselves to make the finals in the East. They very well may be precisely as good as they looked last night.

    So you're just looking at the win/loss record? What if they were 3-1 , they'd be good?
