    Our pick next year, Turner, and Harkless or Meyers for Hayward.

    This could have been an ugly loss and a terrible way to set the stage for a tough road trip. Instead, they found a way to tough it out. I'll take it!

    For a guy with a 35 million a year contract coming off a major injury AND possible future back problems. Nope.

    The shooting was exactly what you would expect. Celtics shot poorly in the first half, Blazers shot well. And vice versa in the second half.

    The funny thing is that was my first thought when I turned on the game in the 1st quarter. I took one look and thought the basket didn't look right.

    30m+ in savings and a first round pick for someone they don’t really need. Would also allow them to be players in free agency for someone like AD.

    Before the season, I would have done that in a heartbeat. Now....

    Turner has (finally) found the right role to help the team win. OTOH, I have doubts Hayward is ever going to be the player he used to be. Over the years, I have watched the Blazers gamble their future on too many 3-legged horses. Enough!

    The Blazers will face the Lakers next with Tyson Chandler and on a 3 game winning streak. We all know this blazers team after beating a top 5 team and lay an egg the next game.

    Sloppy second half, but I'll take the win and a 10-3 record!

    It was so great to be able to give my thoughts and analysis of the game and it was great contributing with all of you guys but I am sorry and have to tell everyone not to get used to it. When the Suite Fifteen return to the forum, I will no longer be able to squeeze in my thoughts as their are quite a few posters from that group who LOVE to hog the spotlight for themselves. ahem(@SlyPokerDog, @hoopsjock, @BonesJones) ahem.

    Go Blazers!

    Just thought I’d pop in real quick to see if everyone still hates Olshey and Stotts?

    I for one never hated Stotts. He has proved to be a good regular season coach, winning games season after season with seriously flawed rosters. He is not a good play-off coach, but the Blazers haven't had the horses to win the title anyway.
