Would you trade for Rudy Gay if the cost was only 2nd round draft picks and Kaman and/or Henderson?

    I think the tactic of switching from Vonleh to Davis to Plumlee to Leonard is wearing out guys like Cousins who have to carry the load every night..tonight it worked like a charm

    Looking at our schedule compared to the Mavs and Rockets, and it's very possible that we could be only 2 games out of the 6 seed after February 2nd. May be enough to buy at the deadline, because the 6 seed would give us a chance to win in the first round.

    Plumlee locked up Cousins early and then Leonard got in his head and finished him.

    The ESPN recap video is just a series of Cousins missed shots, calling it 'just an off night' for Cousins. No credit to the Blazer defense. The only Blazer highlights they showed were the Vonleh block (on Cousins), and Henderson's reverse alley-opp from Dame. They pronounced Damian's name as "Damon". Come on ESPN!!



    I don't care if Sacramento did play a double overtime game last night. The Blazers busted their buts out there and played with great energy. They deserved this win!

    We found out why Orlando gave him up for that 2056 2nd round pick..

    If the Blazers can keep this level of energy up, this playoff run is going to be fun to watch.

    Houston's next two games are @SAS and @OKC. Blazers play Houston 3 times in February. Go Blazers!

    I still think free (unless we are a top 5 team in 2020) is a very good price. Harkless is still only 22. I haven't given up hope on him. I think it's more that Crabbe and Henderson have picked it up a notch.

    Well that's to be expected when we play these huge media markets who have storied franchises and a national following, such as the Sacramento Kings...

    Great game by the Blazers. A lot of guys impressed, especially Hendo and Meyers. Vonleh continues to impress me on both ends, seems to improve by the game lately.

    Edit: And how could I forget Dame's assists. Love that.

    Dwight Jaynes just explained a Muhommed Ali joke to Chris Haynes.

    This is like the opposite of what a Blazer fan would've posted a week or two ago. And it's spot on

    Wow I wish I could have seen the game that Meyers played so well the whole board was giving him props. Does this mean Stotts stuck him in the post where he belongs?

    Hendo is also fitting in better game by game. (Along with Vonleh)

    As for the Kings, I thought Rondo looked pretty good. He makes that team a lot better.
    He also seems to have brought the flopping techniques with him from dallas and boston. In the first half the refs mistook the kings for the spurs with the some of the acting they bought into.

    On D he did. On O he moved around a lot. Mostly on the perimeter, but the touch pass in the key to (I think) Davis was sweet.

    On defense, yes. He played as a center against a center, and the refs let it be physical. That seems to work out well for him.
