    I agree. Davis is coming back into his normal form after an injury plagued crappy year. Chili P went from a nobody who could be cut into a legit role player off of the bench. Napier is finally getting some run. Lillard is finally playing defense. But I'm going to go with Aminu with his shortened sample size. There is no way he comes back after the injury and becomes a revelation, but with his defense and the way he was hitting swish3's to begin the season, he was a damned helpful player. It doesn't hurt his case when the Blazers immediately start losing to shit teams after his injury.

    Vucevic vs. Nurkic. Battle of the European Titans. thCPBSBGZV.jpg We need a crappy old ref to sort out the carnage.

    Its definately going to be interesting. Vucevic shoots the hell out of the 3, gonna draw Nurk out of the paint.

    Let Vonleh defend him. And Vucevic is a crap defender, could be easy to Score for Nurkic

    That's a fan saying. You'll never hear a ref say that. We know inanimate objects don't tell lies or truths. ;)

    Why would Vonleh be in the starting lineup? He's obviously lost that spot.

    Good choice. But he's like the same Ed from 2 seasons ago.
