    That would be nice I don't what his real time line is I heard there hoping for the playoffs but he also he will rush anything this time around and can't blame him.

    That timeline is pure fantasy on my part. I agree they should not rush him at any point.

    Rest Dame, the magic are only suiting up eight players and not one of them is a threat to take over a game. Even Elleby can hang with em.

    This is the first time I looked at the matchup of starting fives in a game thread and thought "We are much better at every position".

    Like come on I know it’s the nba, and these type of games can go either way, but do the smart thing and rest Dame. Don’t even give him the option, because we all know what he will decide if you do.

    There is absolutely no reason to play Dame tonight. None.

    Don't be an idiot, Terry.

    The Blazers are going to be incorporating Nurk and maybe Powell into the offense. They could use a bit of an exhibition-type game just to work out the kinks. But Dame and CJ should get some rest at the end of the game if they take care of business the first 3 quarters.
