    Yeah. Because the Oakland Athletics are basically our market reality without Allen's money.

    It was like just past the free throw line. Bizarre.

    I love it, the scouting report for our team is now way out of date.

    Absolutely loved this win. We scored 130 points against a pretty good defensive team on the road and we were only 5-23 from the 3 point line.
    When we win by being hot from deep it is still nice, but in the back of your mind we know we can't always count on it. This felt different. We are winning without Dame or CJ playing lights out.

    I think this is the most scoring help Dame has had in Portland so far. He only took 10 shots, because he didn't have to force the issue as it wasn't needed.

    I just don't get tired of watching that Jake Layman dunk -



    He also grabbed 11 rebounds (6 offensive). Wow.

    Depth is a great thing to have and gives the coach multiple options.

    Nurk and Dame sat in the 4th. I loved it.

    Aminu was our surprise player of the 1st half, though he tailed off in the 2nd when it wasn't needed anymore. Nurkic had the best stats, feasting on Marjanovich.

    Simmons is their best player, not the more-publicized Butler or Tobias Harris.

    Curry is really, really good at everything. I wish we could keep him. Lillard and McCollum sure miss a lot of open shots.

    Kanter is starting to show cracks. They kept stealing the ball from him. He even looks shorter now than with previous teams. The Stotts system takes away his good inside footwork and emphasizes passing, where he is average.

    My player of the game: the underrated Aminu, not the 2nd-half stars when we were cruising.

    A pretty big "Pick". Means we are lifting something large and heavy with the crane or cranes.
    Today was a three truss bent going up on the Providence Stadium. 230,000 lbs and over critical Lift percentages with a dual link on two cranes.
    It went well and without a hitch.

    Man, look how high Simmons got on that dunk attempt. And Nurk still timed it just right to get the beautiful block!

    Nice to see that 'no back down' spunk out of Kanter!

    Nurk is so good defensively it’s ridiculous. I think he should get DPOY consideration.

    Dame only took 10 shots and we scored 130. Just imagine we limited CJ to 10 shots !!!

    Seems like Olshey has done a great job with this roster.

    If Simmons is going to talk shit in game, no need for Nurk to hold back now. Haha. I love having some of that attitude on this team.

    I like the balance scoring and nice when they share the ball. The last 2 games our starting front court really good on both ends and when our guards get them involved on offense there whole game peaks.

    I enjoy it for sure. But it doesn't change my oppionion about him. And i'm not wasting my time with you to Talk about him. He is what he is, an inneficient iso chucker who isn't as good as he, or you or his fans thinks . If he isn't Scoring well, which happens very often, he is a very negative fit for our Team. Like it or not
