    Kinda, the secrecy suggests it's something more serious rather than a simple blowup or I don't know I'm talking out of my ass.

    Doesn't work, we'd need to send out more than just his contract.

    Anyone think Harkless was held out for reasons beyond a pulled calf or whatever it was? That seemed to come out of nowhere.

    I love Harkless, but if we needed to trade him for a real big, pull the trigger.

    What about Willie Reed? He didn't play for Miami tonight, could be an Olshey type target.

    Breaking news:

    Meyers swats at air and actually hits a basketball. Chalk up another blocked shot.

    Pointing at one player and saying they're the reason why Portland lost the game is extremely short sighted.
    Really you could go down the list and point to things everyone who played did wrong that hurt the Blazers in the long run.
    Lillard jacking up 11 threes
    CJ not being aggressive to start the game.
    The baseball player being in the game, instead of being glue'd to the bench.
    Plumlee getting owned.
    Davis/Aminu not playing with the hustle Portland needs.
    Lack of ability by the coaching staff to get it through the players head, you can't just go out and outscore teams.

    All reasons why Portland lost the game, and frankly... I could keep going.

    On a positive note, had they stopped the game at the end of the 3rd quarter we would have held another opponent under 90.

    Harkless being out should have invigorated Crabbe. He looked about as aggressive as Nic Batum...

    Say what you want about Myers but he probably sets the best picks on the team.

    Lillard initiated every ounce of that marginal contact and was not fouled. Then he threw up that bullshit. It was just a terrible shot and he shouldn't expect a foul call in that situation...

    The score doesn't tell the best part. It's like the Blazers thought since they beat the Cavs, they could just show up and the Magic (on a 4-game losing streak) would just roll over. It was 18-1 Magic just 4 minutes into the game.
