If we had traded for Melo over the summer, what do you think our record would be like?

    At this point, Harkless did very little in his 30 minutes and I'd like to see what Layman could do. 6 points (1 run out dunk) and 4 rebounds. Just not doing much at all. Give Layman that kind of minutes on a regular basis and I bet he does better than that. Plus he can dribble and pass it a bit as well.

    The 2nd unit lost it. And the starters almost goofed the game away at the end too.

    I just laughed at the thought of Stotts actually considering playing Layman.

    If I was into betting, I'd take this bet.
    Layman is underwhelming against g-league players. I don't want to see him against real NBA talent.
    And I've never been all that high on Harkless.

    I don't know if Layman is the answer. He hasn't even earned a role on the 2nd unit.

    This game was the perfect illustration of why I would take Dame on my team over Westbrook 10 times out of 10. Westbrook is faster, stronger, more athletic, but Dame is the leader. Dame plays it smart. Give me Dame every damned day.

    Of course, we had no chance to win against OKC. We would be lucky to lose by 10............

    The Blazers should dedicate a practice to defending last second 3s, and also to handling the ball under intense pressure.

    Westbrook shoots team out of game. Like clockwork.

    MVP though.

    Whatever.

    So you're saying he's in the running for both efficiency award AND coin ratio superstar?

    I'd laugh too if Harkless was doing anything. Since he is doing very little, why not give it a shot like Pops does in SA? He gets contributions from everyone because he plays them all and not just in garbage time. Surprise....surprise, they end up all being able to contribute.

    Some of you guys are so fucking depressing. Pissing and moaning even when the blazers succeed is a shitty way to live your life.
