    The good news: Trent looked decent.

    The bad news: even with Whiteside and CJ playing OK, it never really felt like we could win this game. When Dame plays well, it usually feels like we at least have a chance. With CJ and Whiteside it just doesn't seem to matter that much. It's a bit of a head scratcher. :dunno::smiley-hmm:

    And no, I don't expect people to agree. Just venting.

    What I found funny but is not really funny. Was at Halftime Shaq made sure to give Swanigan a shout out for playing so well. He had 6 points and 5 boards, which is good. Unfortunately he did not add to either category in the second half. Kind of the big issue with the Blazers is they have no one who is consistent or really gives much off the bench.

    Whiteside, Melo, Ariza, Trent...
    That's actually a great bench lineup.

    Not very high IQ basketball. Especially with how much time was left on the shot clock

    omg I was just gonna post this. Trent looks like he will be a better all around player than CJ and CJ plays much better and passes more when he’s running the show.

    Meh, cant base it off the start of the year. In that case Miami has teo starters that werent supposed to play this year and could use that for every loss. All our starters this game have proven to be capable and deserving of minutes. Simons was supposed to play this year.

    So you expect the chances of winning should be the same with McCollum and Whiteside compared to McCollum, Whiteside and Lillard? :confused:

    My expectation? If you put Dame on one team and CJ/Whiteside on the second and give them equal supporting casts, I would expect the Dame team to have the better record. Flame away! :onfire:

    except if it hadn't been for the injuries, the Blazers very likely wouldn't have Whiteside and Melo

    Yeah they wouldve likely kept ML and Harkless or used them for something useful. Either way they’d be better.

    What did your comment have to do with my original post? If somebody else had made that post - pointing out that a player's impact is more than stats - would you have had the same response? Were you reacting to the post, or the poster?
