    I think we should rest Dame for the next two games, assuming hes ready to play
    were playing bad ATL & CHI teams, were 2-1 without Dame, so theres no need to run him back

    we need him fully healthy and hungry, his absence its good for Napier too, which means its good for the Blazers

    let Harkless come off the bench and let him have some possesions
    lets see if he can produce off the bench, he was complaining about being a non factor on offense

    shake things a bit, try to found best possible lineup

    Dame needs to rest this game too. Put him agaisnt Bulls and wait and see he will drop 40 on them. We need him hungry. Shabazz is balling.

    It means they need to get other guys going on offense to increase trade value
