    It's amazing how energized some older players get around young talent. The process of rejuvenation can be awesome.

    If only we had a guy playing the same position and had already sunk two 3s in this very game to take those wide open looks !

    Yeah, and if my aunt had balls, she'd be my uncle.

    I think what people are missing is the fact Mario was bringing the ball upcourt. Nas and Gabriel don't have that in their game yet. This allowed Dame to play off ball a little and conserve a little energy.

    There's no chance in hell Whiteside is getting traded.

    Imagine being the GM of the Blazers, watching how hard Lillard is working and then having the audacity to trade one of the best players on the team and the best rebounder for some crap plus a late draft pick.

    It's basically spitting in Lillard's face.

    Not to mention, Little's wingspan 4 more inches than Hezonja and also standing reach 2.5 inches greater. Is Stotts even aware of this?

    That might be a good point. Reminds how Olshey keeps failing to get a good ball handler who can also score. If Dennis Schroder was on this team; I think we would be something else!

    I'm questioning that also? Seems like that is what some are saying. Has to be one or the other on this team. I'm not going to dig it up or try to put anyone on blast but i know i have read that some believe Hassan would not take a lesser role and they went as far as to say Nurk would not be happy either because he was not happy in Denver behind Jockitch.

    Oh, and btw this is a prime example of stotts being a horrible coach and us winning in spite of it. Dame is our real coach. Stotts is just the coach in title.

    Are these weak ass foul calls on Gabriel or am I being a homer?

    I read everything. I just think trying to excuse Stotts shitty decision because "If Mario had done more/ made more shot it wouldn't have been seen as bad" is dumb.
    He didn't do more because he sucks. That's why Stotts shouldn't have played him.

    McCollum is a good player. Just cause you don't think so doesn't mean he isn't. :bgrin:
