    CJ is the odd man out. Start Gary. Trade CJ for a power forward or small forward.

    See the size difference. The Blazers need that option on the court.

    If they switched hair styles, they'd look like they're the same height.

    Like players, I guess coaches can have a letdown game, too. Maybe he saw the Blazers' injured list, and penciled in a win in his mind.

    legit question: can Rodney be our PG on the second unit once we're healthy? his handle surprised me, and he has the height to make some nice passes and initiate offense quickly.

    Yeah I think Rodney deserves major props. He was the glue for much of the game. He can get his shot any time. Does not always make it but he has some BRoy in his game. Very methodical.

    That seems to be the joke but honestly speaking he is 4 inches taller and his arms are 3 inches longer on each side. 6 inches more length. Look where his shoulder is compared to Lillard.

    I haven't seen anything in Rodney's game that screams PG. I think we got lucky Philly didn't take advantage of it.

    Elleby is a legit small forward in today’s game, just from a physical standpoint. He’s bigger than Trent too, who’s not a small guy.

    Blevins fucking sucks. Can't we call up someone else from the g league?

    I'm really not worried about Blevins. Literally the 14th man on the roster. He sees time when there is no question in the game. Could it be someone better? Probably. Does it need to be? I sure hope not because if it does the Blazers are in a terrible position meaning it really wouldn't make any difference anyway and probably would be just as well having it be Blevins on the court.

    That was a nepotism signing for dame. If it makes him happy then that’s the small price u pay for a 15th man on the bench

    two way spots should be used on players that at least have the potential to be developed into rotation players. We’ve never really developed anyone because Olshey doesn’t really invest anything into it. But then he goes and drops 30m on two products of the g league. Funny shit.

    Right now the 14th man on our roster could be starting.
