    I’ve seen his pre game warm ups myself lol. This isn’t confidential information buddy.

    I think I’d be ok with less people like you talking to me. Thanks

    If you wanna act like you know basketball better than PHIL JACKSON, go ahead. I’m gonna go with Phil on this one...

    Get defensive rebound, get pick-pocketed, give up a three. Nice.

    We're sleepwalking because they are resting their players and planning on turning it on in the 4th..

    I agree, but I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt that he is indeed a new account.
    He might know a lot about basketball, but so do other people. So posting like he is, isn't going to make people want to continue to read his posts.
    It's going to get people to use a certain function on this site.

    If Denver had a full team, this would be a blowout.

    Do remember you initiated this conversation.
    This is exactly what I'm talking about.
    I know better than you, that's for sure.

    Possessions where no one but Turner touches the ball usually aren't successful.

    You're wasting your time. Look at his behavior in the last game thread. He was practically gloating about trolling the everyone in that thread.

    I don’t disagree with the logic. There’s suckers in front offices all over the NBA. If the Blazers can shed those contacts per your suggestion, more power to them. I’d certainly welcome both moves - just don’t think they’re likely with all of the crazy contracts signed in the summer of 2016 all coming due next year.

    I think it's more likely. They already have Plumlee and Bazemore combining to make $32M a year until 2020. Lining up more salary to expire with theirs makes sense. Tank another year, get another good pick on top of the 2 lottery picks they have this year, and that's not a bad move IMO.

    Giving up 81 points to a team missing three starters is...not great. Let's hit the gas and put this damn thing away so Dame doesn't have to play the whole fourth.

    He's not using his body the way he used to, probably because he's afraid if getting injured again. He used to be a mini-Harden going out of his way to throw himself into the nearest defender looking for FTs.

    I’ve never claimed to know any more than anyone in this forum, I simply made one criticism of dame and everyone freaked out over it
