    Excited to see a guy with a vert the same as MJ and right around his height. He also is CRAZY fast like Ja Morant fast. He also seems to have good defensive instincts. It's weird we suddenly have a glut of 2/3's Hart, Johnson, Elleby, and Little. Nice to have that kind of depth where Johnson or Elleby is the 3rd guy.

    Let's hope not. We still deserve something for Bill Walton being injured in '78, Sam Bowie and Greg Oden.

    I hope Dame comes back and plays with this team. Dame has never been selfish and watching this team from bench has to really be eye opening on how to play

    Is there a medical reason he can't? Maybe they thought the season was done for.

    Honestly, would people here be that mad if we knocked Lebron and the Lakers out of the playoffs in a play in game? Especially if it kept the NOP out of the playoffs?

    Love watching him be so verbal on defense.
    And how he is occasionally jumping the P&R and hustling back to his man.

    Love Billups interview earlier today he’s going to keep Simons humble! Simons couldnt ask for better tudors than Billups, Lillard and even CJ. Perfect situation to come into and now perfect coach for him

    Billups talked about hating that this team was a counter punching team when the season started.
    They are no longer playing that way for sure. They come out and sock whomever they are playing right in the nose and the rest of the game they just keep scrapping.
    Got to admit it’s fun to watch.

    Good point.

    Even if Grant would buy in to his role, he will want a max deal. Would we be better with three wings that can give 100% in 28mpg each? We just might.

    Maybe this is low hanging fruit, but you seeing any resemblance to the 2004 Pistons?
