    Yeah, earlier this season you called a trade idea of CJ for him and Randle a bad one for us... so please continue to tell me about how bad he is as he continues to disrupt our offense and hit timely jumpers against us.

    This was the very beginning of the season and I'm pretty sure you were one of the people that was not down with that. I started posting that trade idea in December, right at the beginning of the season and was still posting about it after CJ's injury.

    It's asinine. Fortunately I can leave early, but if I'd had an afternoon meeting out in Hillsboro or something, I'd be pissed.

    Is it weird that role players like Hardaway Jr, Finney-Smith, Brunson, Monte Morris, Rivers, Royce O’Neil can step up in the playoffs and help their stars while we have a 29M guy, a player nickname Beast who can’t play consistent playoff basketball. Just blows your mind.

    Even though we have such a horrible coach and no defense?

    Why would you not record it. Get home from work, sit down and watch, skip commercials and be caught up at the start of the 3rd. Thats the ONLY way I watch ANY sporting event.

    Perez is totally full of shit:

    * 4:00.0 Shooting foul by J. Nurkić (drawn by A. Gordon)
    * 4:00.0 C. Anthony enters the game for J. Nurkić
    4:00.0 A. Gordon misses free throw 1 of 2
    4:00.0 A. Gordon misses free throw 2 of 2
    3:57.0 Defensive rebound by D. Lillard
    3:49.0 Turnover by C. Anthony (out of bounds lost ball)
    3:31.0 A. Rivers makes 3-pt jump shot from 24 ft (assist by N. Jokić)
    * 3:03.0 Turnover by A. Gordon (bad pass; steal by R. Covington)
    2:37.0 N. Jokić makes 2-pt jump shot from 9 ft
    2:01.0 N. Jokić makes 2-pt hook shot from 6 ft (assist by M. Morris)
    * 1:21.0 N. Jokić misses 3-pt jump shot from 23 ft
    0:52.0 Personal foul by R. Covington (drawn by N. Jokić)
    0:52.0 N. Jokić makes free throw 1 of 2
    0:52.0 N. Jokić makes free throw 2 of 2
    * 0:18.0 Turnover by A. Rivers (lost ball; steal by D. Lillard)
    0:12.0 Personal take foul by C. McCollum (drawn by M. Morris)
    0:12.0 M. Morris makes free throw 1 of 2
    0:12.0 E. Kanter enters the game for R. Hollis-Jefferson
    0:12.0 M. Morris makes free throw 2 of 2
    * 0:00.0 M. Morris misses 3-pt jump shot from 49 ft

    so, Nurk fouls out with 4 minutes left in regulation. Denver has 8 possessions after that. They only score on 4 possession while the Blazers were able to "close out' defensively on the other 4 possessions, including 2 steals

    Denver scored 9 points on those 8 possessions and 6 were scored by Jokic. Yet, the Blazers were left with RoCo and Melo to try and defend Jokic because Kanter can't. And that's the fault of Stotts? Sure looks like more of a roster construction problem to me
