    I'd move Harkless up your list, personally. And I'd add Alexander to the "cheap" list.

    Tell you what, I'll give both you and HCP $100 if you:

    a) Shut up
    b) Go on Judge Judy and hash it out once and for all. I want to see this happen so bad.


    On a side-note, Orion Bailey does pay his bets, so props to him.

    Yeah, I thought of both of those. The reasoning for the way it is is that Harkless hasn't been a starter long enough to lump in with Dame/CJ/Plumlee, and I don't actually recall seeing Alexander play, whereas I recall moments where both Montero and Pat impressed me. But I otherwise agree with your statement.

    I can see the push for Harkless in that spot given that when he did start, it was critical games for the playoff push. At one point, it seemed like he was scoring 10+ points every 1st quarter.

    But, I can also see waiting a little bit longer, as well.

    The nice thing about this thread is that it shows how grim things once looked in this series. I was right there with Draco in my confidence that the Blazers would advance. I was just hoping to not get swept.

    I love this picture. Dame just seems like a real dude. Heart on his sleeve type. Like he's hugging his brother.

    I love Plum, but you are still selling Green short. What makes him unique is not just his ability to run the offense from the forward position and score all over the court (fast break, post, jumpers and 3s) - but also his ability to guard basically 4 or 5 positions.

    It is great that Plum has an unusual skill - being able to run the offense as a secondary distributor - but Green is unique because he is does so many things on both sides of the floor. He really is an all-NBA special player.

    Again, Love the Plumdog. He is the best Dog this forum has seen (Right Sly?) - and he can still get better - but he is Green in Portland's term only on offense.
