    LOL -- Zion is going to end up like...what was that bust out of UNLV a few years ago? Anthony Bennett? :biglaugh: **feel free to bookmark this** I'm going to start referring to him as Zioff until he becomes a NBA All-star -- so maybe forever!

    (other comparable players include: Justice Winslow, Eddy Curry, a shitty offense version of Z-bo, to be continued...)

    Guys gotta understand some shit.

    Foul disparity is gameplay related.

    Duke went to the rack petty much all night.

    Zags shot a lot of jumpers.

    How many actual layups did they shoot. Not many.

    This is the reason for foul disparity. The refs did a solid job.

    Stop. Foul disparity doesn't mean one team is getting screwed...

    Sometimes it just happens. The team that's more aggressive going to the rack gets the calls.

    I know that. Arizona wasnt being aggrssive going to the hoop. There was some very bad phantom calls against Gonzaga.

    After losing the last 2 games by over 70 points, I would submit a Lottery pick might be more helpful than another first round exit

    You do realize there's a big talent drop off after 10 or so right? For any team, a #1 pick is more helpful than losing a playoff series at some point. Doesn't mean you tank.

    Im not actually sure how Id feel about the Blazers benching Dame and CJ and Nurk and just playing for ping pong balls. Seems to be what Memphis did last year (I know injuries played a part of it).

    Part of me would hate it, but Id also understand it.

    It's never going to happen. Tired of people discussing it as an option.

    Why isnt this a discussion forum? Theres an entire trade thread with dozens of trades that will never happen.

    Wait, so you think the organization might decide to tank? You think that's a possibility huh? There's a difference between having fun trying to come up with trades that work compared to discussing tanking as a legit possibility.

    Is that what I said... No I said I wouldn't know how I'd feel about them tanking. There really isn't much of a difference 99.99% of the trade ideas aren't going to happen and really have no shot of happening. It's just people trying to come up with things they think could make their teams better.

    Pretty much all trades have a minuscule chance if formulated correctly and I'd they contain reason. The challenge is to come up with ideas good enough that there's a chance they could possibly happen. People have the same reaction as this to trade ideas such as "Lets trade Aminu and Turner for Durant". There is 0 chance that happens, just like there's 0 chance the team decides to tank right now. However, suggesting Harkless, Leonard, and a pick for Porter Jr is different because that's possibly something both teams can do.

    Your comparison is bad. Very bad.

    How do you know thats possibly something both teams consider? You dont. One GM or the other might hear that offer and hang up on the other cause its not in the ball park of anything they want. You also dont know what every organization is thinking right this minute. So you’re making a ton of assumptions. I never said the Blazers will tank, or even should tank. People on a discussion forum about the Blazers should be able to talk about it if they want to.

    My comparison is that its two topics that none of us have any control over, that were just voicing our ideas. No the Blazers arent even close to considering tanking, but why does that mean the fans cant talk about how itd look if they did.
