    He's out there for defense....which he's really pretty good at...the Blazers version of an overpaid Doug Christie

    Yes. I have nothing against white players. Just not WABC's

    Like Collins. He can slide to the center position in a pinch, but he is a PF, just like Bell.

    One game? Hark had 19 starts to grab some rebounds and play some D.....and didn't. And although I would welcome the Harkless of last night in a heartbeat, lets not forget he still looked like shit when trying to dribble to the basket.

    Neither Hark nor Turner have looked good on offense, but other than last night Harkless has done nothing to suggest he has played better han ET. Especially on D.

    Both he and Napier took turns dribbling and then shooting in the last few minutes of the game. But when they are on the floor with Collins, Hark, and I believe Caughtinton at the end of the game, I was OK with that. I want my best shooters shooting in crunch time.

    Everybody needs to play, Thats the key for the sucess. Harkless almost gest forgotten in our roster. He can play and its hard to play when you dont have so many shots. You gotta have some rithym to make shots.

    Bazz Collins Harkless ED All deserves more minutes. Evan turner cant play more than 15 minutes. He kill us everytime he plays and he's the biggest mistake neil has ever take. Dude is awfull. Last year we play so much better when he was injured. He's trash

    Repped! I've been saying it since he was a rookie.

    Butterfingers has a bad smug attitude. Every team has a shooting specialist who can dribble; big deal. This one operates faster than his capabilities, so Blazer fans are stoked by all flashy errors and no substance.

    He plays nothing like Bell.

    When's the last time you saw Psycho T block a shot?
