    Huge mismatch in our favour in the backcourt, huge advantage for them with Porzingis against whoever is going to try and guard him.

    They should be playing Ntilikina there instead of Jack to switch between guarding Dame and CJ.

    And yeah I would match, kind of makes no sense not to. I would expect him to become better in the next years too.

    He won't receive a max offer from anybody. Teams who will be able to offer a max will be busy chasing many other targets, and lots of those who will have cap space for a max deal will either have already been covered at center or would have just drafted one of Bagley, Ayton or Bamba (Mavs, Kings, Hawks, Bulls).

    Aminu would be much important in this game. Tough one, and it's great to be 3-1 on the road. One more to play. Big game at MSG

    Oh, I never said it was bad of them to do so or that it was rational anger

    I haven't seen Porzingis play yet, so I'm looking forward to that. Even more though, I'm looking forward to watching the Blazers get the win no matter what Porzingis does.
    I'd be very happy to see Portland playing with the lead, instead of from behind all game too

    (Not saying you but) some people take it very seriously and seek it out to do it every chance they get. Is a joke a joke if it isn't funny? I understand it doesn't matter and was only quoting you because you did it not because I lump you in with the internet people that do it.
