    I want this rotation, assuming Dame plays.

    Dame
    CJ
    Turner
    Aminu
    Nurkic

    Second unit:

    Baldwin
    CJ
    Connaughton
    Collins
    Davis or Biggie

    One of Napier and Connaughton out of the rotation. Baldwin earned minutes, period.

    With Dame playing we should win this one. That would lock up the three spot for us.

    Dame is a soldier, his Team need him. Thanks to CJ at this point, this should remind him that he's Never gonna be a All Star. Hopefully Nurkic get's enough touches against these old spurs Bigs and please give Wade some of CJ's or Napiers minutes Stotts!

    Must be insane. CJ is real. He will get better, stills a young player.

    HCA yes, but for the three seed, we would still need one more win or Jazz loss. So a win against Denver would do it or a Utah loss at LA or GS would do it. Othewise, it comes down to Utah/Portland at Moda on closing night.

    Consistency is something that can be achieved with age, as it's mostly mental. If he was consistent he'd be phenominal. That's the upside.

    I think if Dame plays, we will have a CHANCE at winning. Not so sure about SHOULD.

    Wait a tic, you just got into a huge argument with somebody on here before this road trip started saying it WOULDN'T come down to the last game. I'm confused.

    You misspelled the name of the PF that plays for San Antonio. It's actually Texas Turncoat.(all credit goes to @dviss1 for revealing his true name) I am surprised that, as good as these game threads are you would make such a silly mistake like this.

    Please fix.

    I agree, but CJ and Chief's poor performances assured Dame's DNA would take over. Bottom line, Blazers MUST win.

    How 'bout C (he shouldn't play, but has too, due to certain key players who can't be trusted to step their games up).
