    Why? Who do you think will be available at 12 that won't be at 18 that you really want?

    OK, 2 related questions.
    1) What do you think the odds are that Aminu is re-signed.
    2) What new offense can the team install that makes Aminu at least less of a liability?

    The OP has Nurk in the starting lineup and no injuries listed for the Blazers. Did they say he's gonna play?

    They need to prioritize cutting and off-ball movement and need to work on collapsing the defense with ball movement and dribble-drives so that when they kick to Aminu, he either has a completely open 3 or an open straight-line drive.

    Other than our loss to them and a 1 point game winner over Kings, Warriors haven’t done shit in awhile

    I can’t believe they blew us out

    And Charlotte beat the bucks, too. lol. It was a lot closer at the end, but Charlotte had firm control the entire game.

    Blazers will win this game against a a sub .500 team playing it's 3rd game in 4 nights as they should. It's one of those 'schedule wins' and more about 'How' they play versus winning the game.

    Wow. Yes. I'd be happy with half of that.

    You mean, him doing nothing but shooting 3's? I agree. Sounds a lot like something I posted a couple weeks ago...

    It's crazy how good these guys are at shooting the ball without defense.

    He is shooting like 46% on 3's this year. I guess that's not an unrealistic 50% though, right?
