    To be fair, there are two players making almost 20 million combined sitting at home. But it's not like the other teams in the bubble are fully healthy either.

    that might be a tough task depending on what the basketball is fucking. I mean, can you imagine trying to catch a basketball fucking a football? Or how about trying to catch a 3-way between a basketball, football, and croquet ball? Yeah, I know, pretty damn stupid, but I just spent nearly 3 hours watching the Blazers be stupid...it was contagious

    I agree with him needing to build strength but that doesn't mean bulking up and I think it's pretty hard to build upper body strength with the injury that just cost him more than six months. That being said, I would trade him in a heartbeat for someone who we know will be able to contribute for the next four or five years.

    anybody feeling like it’s time we blow this team up? It’s getting played out. It’s the same coach, same main guys every year with boring results.
    Ready for a new era of blazer basketball

    As long as that era has Dame, Nurk and Gary... I completely agree with you, everyone else probably needs to go.

    I'd offer Jerami Grant a 4 year MLE deal in FA and never look back. Perfect PF for this team.

    I actually think Foster is pretty decent. But i will say, Damian Lillard, "2 freakin' FT attempts ALL GAME". Maybe the other 2 zebra stoolies were more responsible. Plus, every game we are out freethrow attempt by double digits. I see plenty of contact not being called for us, and plenty of fouls called on us.

    I got up early to watch this 10am upset. I can't believe I got up before 2pm to see the Clippers shoot layups at will. I am willing to be groggy at noon for my team, but this disaster demanded too many hours of my productive sleep.

    Denver will let Millsap go so they can resign him.

    As far as skills are concerned that trade would be great but I hate Draymond's personality/attitude and there just isn't any way to make that work with the cap unless they would take Ariza and send back Wiggins but I don't know if I want Wiggins either. Not a bad idea from you though.
