    Couldn't agree more. At this point, this type of nonsense is just a mad plea for attention. Never mind that Dame is averaging a CAREER high in assists. Don't respond and feed the 'read my nonsense and give me attention' ploy. Just use the 'Ignore' button for what is for.

    I just heard the awful news about Dame being out for tonight's game. I also heard the even worse news about Carmello starting. That means CJ and Melo(and Simons) will handle basketball distribution duties.

    Whose ready for the Two Man Power Trip tonight?

    If Melo' is starting, it make me wonder who his agent is and what favor that agent will be doing for the Blazers later on.....say around February.

    It's surreal seeing Melo in Blazers gear. End of the day, this is still a 10x all-star and one of the best scorers ever.

    funny how 5 of you felt the need to say “UR DUMB” but not one of you could form an actual argument.

    everything is Stotts and CJ’s fault. None of the blame goes to the leader of our team. Got it.

    yea, ignore everyone who disagrees with you. That’ll prove you aren’t in a cult.

    assists aren’t necessarily synonymous with facilitating.

    Agreed. I still think this Melo thing is going to end poorly.

    Stotts has always required a player to have a player go through at least 1 practice before playing in a game when being traded or coming back from injury. I don't see how this is any different.

    My predictions, 4-2 road record and Melo average 15+ points a game. Standing ovation when he returns to Moda.

    He didn't say anything about ignoring people who disagree with him.... just ignoring the people who are so far off the edge of reality that it's not worth the time/effort in advancing a discussion.

    reality: the blazers are underachieving hard and Lillard is the leader of the blazers.

    reality: Many players in our offense are not comfortable and it’s the PG’s responsibility to help players be comfortable.

    reality: you can’t argue for 2 seconds bc you have no decent arguments

    the fact that you’re trying to act like “our PG isn’t facilitating enough during our 4-9 start” is some delusional argument is just sad. Youre gaslighting bc you can’t argue worth a shit.

    Sorry for triggering you with my opinion. Let me know if you can come up with a single argument, so far all 7 of you have failed to dispute a single point I made and have resorted to insults and/or dismissal.

    I think I’m winning the argument.
