    I don't really agree with this....that's basically giving him a role he hasn't come close to earning

    but I guess in a nearly lost season, you can afford to experiment. But I'd rather see a player rewarded for solid play, then rewarded for poor play...and he's playing poorly

    What I notice is there Role players are stepping up, ours are hiding behind the inexperienced label. I wonder if other team covet the blazers young guys are much as some think they should.

    I sort of feel like Simons hasn't been great recently because he realized he's on the floor with people like Dame and Carmelo (HOFers) and realized how easy it is to just defer.

    I'm holding on to my faith for now.

    I didn't. But he's not been great this season and I only know that because of my fantasy team that I check in on every other week :)

    I’m not trying to reward him. I’m trying to find a path that’s gets him to play how he might be capable of. Watch the Sac game last year at end of the season he scored 38 and was passing great. That’s what he might possibly be capable of. He got a confidence problem. Not saying it will work but who knows.

    Kerr leaving all Blazers (not named Dame) open for 3's. Their response: 0-14 from behind the line.

    Play well out of doubles

    Melo slips into space for a mid range J earlier, and some nice passing (including a smart skip pass by ant) for the Lillard 3

    Trading Tolliver changed the trajectory of our season

    I really did go to the cooking channel and forgot to come back to the game until 3:00 in the 3rd.

    This is a perfect illustration of this season
