    So these uniforms are garbage ANYWAY, but earing white undershirts beneath them makes us look like a JV high school team. Of course that's fitting.

    I've called him a dawg and been a huge happy since he's been here.
    But, what you say is getting difficult to dispute.
    The impact and intensity I saw has been missing.

    CJ has become a better team player since he went to New Orleans. Doesn't pound the ball anymore. Makes me hate
    Stotts even more.

    It was Terry's fault but it was a dynamic that built between these two best friends Dame and CJ where CJ felt like he had to do it all every time he got the ball because otherwise it was Dame's possession. This is the same way that CJ would play the few times that Dame was out.

    Yeah. What he had in the tank the first few games seems gone now.

    Finally the Trailblazers are making use of Greg Brown running on the baseline. That kind of play is there all the time.

    Herb Jones was the number 35 pick in the 2021 draft, a rookie starting for the pelicans.
    just an example of what the Blazers will be giving up if they send their pelicans pick away for another player of similar size like Jeremy Grant.

    He doesn't look as good when he is forced to shoot the ball, as in jump shot.

    Will the Blazers ever have someone that knows how to throw a lab pass?

    Didi's three-point stroke is crazy smooth.

    He's making a third of his threes this season and that's his career average too. That's enough to keep defenses honest and nothing to complain about when considering how hard he hustles, how he's able to guard multiple positions, gets boards, is disruptive on defense, runs well on the break, etc. All for 9.7M next season... helluva deal when you see people talking about the trade like it was just CJ that we sent out.

    I'd rather have Justise Winslow. He's been bothering a lot of the players he's been guarding.
    Nance does play hard for sure.

    apparently, dribbling the ball off your foot has become a Blazer art-form

    This game was over before it started but it's now looking pretty locked down.

    Nance has played in 6 games for the Pels...and missed 19. That's kind of the definition of Nance. Too many missed games. He's not a bargain at all at 10M when averaging 7 & 5 and missing half the games
