    Mavs have average guys who can make open 3s from the corner. Norm Powell, who is supposed to be a good shooter, can't do that consistently.

    I swear, this guy's numbers are so off from the player I see. He must be perfect from the field and the line when it doesn't matter because he misses a lot of important 3s and foul shots (and open teammates) when the team is in a close game or trying to come back.

    8 quick 3pt shots plus some tough defense and we win!

    Especially when we're missing some players. That seems to be the signal "OK, they need me to shoot a lot in isolation to carry the Blazers to a 20-point loss."

    Just woke up and I see our S5 guards are back. I got Carmelo flashbacks.
    Do our best players make us worse?

    It did seem like we played with more energy and certainly better defense when CJ was home being a daddy.

    Well, between last game and this game we lost RoCo, Nas, and DSJ who happen to be three of our four or five guys that play defense. So, it's not so much that our "best" players make us worse.

    Dame probably ain’t coming back this season. Trade or sit Simons like OKC does with Shai. Pull Nurkic too if he plays well. Must get a good pick in draft.

    Typical Blazers. They guy shooting the worst, takes the most shots. Most nights it's not Norm filling that role, but he was more than up to the task tonight.

    He had the best shooting numbers for the guards in this game.

    Some day Snell, Brown, and Blevins will be mentioned in the same breath as Bird, McHale, and Parrish.

    Like, in 10 years if you look at this post.

    Powell with a team worst +/- again. Nurkic the best.
