    I like Harkless, and he shows up big in big moments, but damn he can be fucking INVISIBLE for games at a time. He's got that Batum gene.

    I think a trade is going to have to go down this year we have too many similar skill set players

    Jake Layman's 17 points are the most by a Trail Blazer in his career debut since Damian Lillard scored 23 points on Oct. 31, 2012.

    Jake Layman's five 3-pointers in the fourth quarter are one shy of the franchise record for 3-pointers in a quarter (6-Cliff Robinson).

    Jake Layman is the first player in Trail Blazers history to make four 3-pointers in his first career game.

    If Ezeli is ever healthy, I say get rid of Meyers. If he can't break into the rotation at this point, he's never going to with us. He just doesn't have basketball instincts, so you can't trust him. About all he's good for is hitting a few open threes every now and then. Maybe pissing people off with his awkwardness on defense.

    I'd trade meyers and Aminu with a package of picks right now for just about any competent big man that can play D and have actual consistent range.

    what I like about Laymen is that his shot is quick, unlike Beibers.

    I think we drafted a better version of Kevin Love in Jake Layman..

    There's some overreaction going on in here, but what really hurt Portland tonight were the unforced turnovers. It kept them from ever getting in a groove. On to the next.

    I would trade anyone on this team except Dame and cj...oh and apparently Layman too, if it would make us better.

    Layman can also slash, and I'm sure with time can become a good defender. He's got the size and athleticism.

    Really bad trend I'm seeing with the rebounding.

    I'm hesitant to want to dump Aminu. Even on nights when his shot is horribly off, he contributes in other ways.

    Teams have had success so far against Golden State if they drive to the hoop. They have no shot blocker. But what do we do? Play right into their hands and shoot 39 three-pointers (9 of which were Aminu/Harkless who combined made the same amount I did tonight) and only something around 27-28 shots near the basket. As good as Dame has been getting to the rim, he only had 4 shots inside.

    Aminu is our only consistant double digit rebounder so far
