    Well, almost half the western conference is in those two states, so it's not that surprising I guess.

    Not (NBA) but I feel like if Trevor Bauer starts on Sunday, the Blazers are gonna get bailed out of the news articles on the national level.

    Suns have played well and deserve recognition. It hasn’t been handed to them even if teams have been injured.

    Suns swept the same nuggets team we almost got swept by.

    Still my Money is on the bucks though. Not literally because I haven’t placed anything but I’m thinking I might tonight.

    Connaughton is the last former Blazer standing in the playoffs, right?

    I believe so...Nic Batum was just knocked out with the Clippers, Will Barton knocked out with Denver and Wes went out like us in the first round

    Yes or No? Batum comes back to PDX with Chauncey on minimum salary?

    Man if every team are healthy… what if? Davis and Lebron, Jamaal Murray, Kawhi, Kyrie, Trae and Giannis.

    That news is dying fast on a national level anyway. ESPN hired Chauncey, the Clips did and now we did. So people have had their say about it being wrong and they will move on because Chauncey isn't a serial offender so their is literally only one story for them to draw from. The well is running dry. He will give more interviews when camp starts and people will see more and more of what they got during the intro news conference... all class.

    What I got from the game tonight is that when a team loses their ball-dominating star, that a lot of other guys get in a groove, and that there is more passing. The same thing happened with Atlanta in game 4 when they played without Young. But I think Milwaukee has a better supporting cast than Atlanta, so their team ball was able to overcome Atlanta's team ball tonight.

    That Dave deckard fella thinks Beverly should get a year long suspension for his push on Paul, just in case you’re on the fence on taking anything he says serious.

    I figured he’d have shut down that site after the Billups hire.

    Or, perhaps he was exploiting sexual assault victims for clicks and now will pretend his libel of Billups never happened as he still seems to be following the team.

    What a man of principle. So courageous.

    I could go there and ask this question? However my membership there might be very short if i do as i understand?

    Should i word it just like you have it here?
    I could even include the question about his principles if that makes the comment a bit more appealing?
