    I had to work late into the evening. Appears it was a good thing after looking at the meltdowns in the thread.

    Onto the next event, like you said Sly.

    Eventually we have to beat a team that's been playing good ball, right?

    Question...... If one player from each team grabs a rebound simutanously and the result is a jump ball, does each player get credit for a rebound?

    Thanks in advance.

    Might not be correct, but I have always thought that if Nurk and Embid both get a rebound at the same time, causing a jump ball, that the player whose team gets the possession on the jump ball gets the rebound.

    The Good: Dame scored 30 and Vonleh had 11 rebounds. Maybe get Noah a few more shots after his double/double.
    The Bad: So if you are 1-14 (CJ) maybe do some other things? 0 assists and 3 TOs instead.
    The Ugly: Mo Problems....and almost nothing else. 1 pt, 0 rebs, 0 assts, 0 stls, 0 blocks....damn, return your game check.

    checked my fantasy league, i saw cj with like 5pts and game ended and just assumed he'd gotten injured. was pretty heavy on the sighs

    but just checked now, and nope, he just literally shat the bed and isnt injured at all. maybe in the ego.

    smh

    Methinks our players are taking our team name too literally. "Trail Blazers" doesn't mean we need to trail the entire game. Sheesh!

    Lmao. You can't say I told you so when your predictions are random guesses that you sometimes get right.

    And you're sooo dramatic. "They're gonna own us for yearzzzz". Okay.

    Everything else is right except for your take on Collins. Who knows if that's a hit or miss? Nobody does.

    The problem is, he can't make the veteran value signings that a small market team like Portland needs to make.

    Could've potentially had Jonathan Simmons or Tyreke (6MOY) Evans for the MLE this summer.

    Could've had James Johnson for anything more than the minimum last summer. Imagine using the money spent on Ezeli/Turner on him and Tyreke this summer.

    If we had James Johnson and Tyreke Evans, we'd be phenomenal right now. Good, multiple position defenders, can create for others and slash, can play multiple roles/positions offensively, and shoot. Johnson's the veteran leader we need.

    Just imagine, we could've had PG13 then been able to flip Nurk, Turner, and future picks for DeAndre. Big 4... SMH
