    Lots of teams passed on Mitchell.

    Mitchell wide open at half court. Why he no shoot?

    Murray looks like CJ out there. Jazz wasted Mitchell’s 54 points.

    The jazz depth is terrible. They have two guys who can get their own shot and one of them is Jordan Clarkson lol

    I didn't want any rookie that night. I wanted to trade all the picks. I think Neil was trying to trade them for Paul George, but KP told him to eff off.

    Yep. Neil offered all 3 picks and any non Dame/CJ/Nurk player for PG.

    Raptors look better than last year. If Blazers don’t make it. I’d love to see Raptors beat Clippers in Finals.

    I disagree with this. Carlisle is very good and he has both Luka and Porzingis not to mention Curry, Kleber, Hardaway. That team can play with any team in the league.
    I just am not willing to doubt Luka at this point. He can beat you on any given night.

    Raptors destroying a Nets team that almost knocked the Blazers out of the bubble. Amazing how much easier life is for teams that play defense. :dry:

    Mavs could play with any of the 4th-8th best teams in the League, just not the top couple teams. Clippers are really a terrible match-up for them, if they played Denver or Houston they would have a chance of winning the series.

    We will see what happens. I think the Mavs are a couple years away from contending. Luka is not at Kawhi+PG level in the playoffs when we see those guys go 100%. Clippers coasted all regular season, while Luka played 100%, and Mavs still were a much lower seed.

    Luka is better than PG. Paul George is one of the most overrated player in the NBA. Not a Top 20 player.

    This from Hollinger’s piece in The Athletic:

    The Blazers have played significantly better at both ends with Trent on the court in the bubble. These are small samples, yes, but the results are so extreme it’s staggering. Portland outscores teams by 10.1 points per 100 possessions when Trent plays, but is a staggering -14.8 when he sits.


    Also- apparently the Blazers have switched hotels and are at the Grand Floridian now.

    CJ said the move is happening on WED morning. Was on Zach Lowe's pod that dropped a few hours ago.
