Hypothetically, would you be willing to trade for James Harden if we don't have to give up Dame?

    This shows how much D matters when your guys can go 3/18 and still have an outstanding game. I love it.

    Nah, they're a better team this season. We are a terrible match up for them but they will have the best record in the league at the end of the regular season and will likely win the chip.

    Learn to comprehend my friend. Was I talking about this game or the two before?

    Ask Jeeves on pre/post Nurk acquisition assists, points, field goal percentage and three point percentage.

    Jones and Covington are like Aminu and Harkless, but on all the drugs.

    Well a win is a win but a win against the Lakers always just feels better.

    I am always glad when he calls a timeout correctly which is rare. He waited till the Lakers went on a 15-0 run to call a timeout. You don't wait until you are at a disadvantage to call one, you call a timeout preemptively when the momentum begins to change.

    You're thinking small. It worked for a game. It won't for a season.

    That proves the Blazers are better with the ball in his hand over Dame or that he's better than Mason Plumlee?

    Still doesn’t excuse your lack of comprehension. I can recommend a good community college or two if you want some recommendations.

    The W against the Rockets was weak ass sh!t.
    This W against the Lakers showed much improved defense, passing, and bench play. Now THAT is a good win.

    They aren't as good. Howard was better for them. Green definitely...Pope is no Green. Rondo eh....Schroder is just as good if not better

    Understand your point, you may be right. I don't want to see Kanter play more than 12 straight minutes, not matter how well he's playing because I think a fresh Nurk is likely to be better than a gassed Kanter. I would lean that direction on a fresh Dame or CJ over a gassed GTJ, but I do respect your point.

    Those numbers all regressed when we have gone away from him. Nothing to do with Plumlee who is a great ball distributor for his position in his own right.
