    Eh. It's arguable. A non ball dominant 2 guard next to Dame. We saw it. It was interesting. Certainly something to think about.

    Perhaps a non-ball-dominant guard. But not Curry. Curry played okay against sub-par competition over a portion of an NBA season. He's not a starter on a good team. CJ is.

    Eh. He had a lot of pts scored in Dallas and here. I simply think it's possible he fits better. I could be wrong. Believe me, it's against my nature to say these things, but how many dimes did dame avg when CJ was away? How good did dame look? What did Curry avg? Seemed smooth.

    I need to go to bed. I've been watching basketball for a long, long fucking time.

    Simons is a prodigy. He's special. I'd do anything to keep him. Goodnight fans.

    Let me say this about that:

    It feels nice being right once in a while.

    I dont know if that game means much if anything for the careers of Simons, Trent or Scal, but as a Blazer fan and as a Basketball fan it was awesome to watch and gives us all some reasons to be excited for the future of the franchise. They really got cooking!

    I love what I saw tonight. Kid just needs to get stronger.

    But on the real y'all, put some RESPECK on Seth Curry's name...

    He played great for us this season.

    Simons, Zach, and Nurk should all peak together for a good 5-6 year run. I know it’s one game but the kid has it, I’m positive of it.

    Here’s a question, if the Pels asked for Nurk/Zach/Simons/2 1s/and Moe(money filler) for AD would you do it?

    Dame/CJ/AD is a pretty good Big 3

    As I was watching the game all I could think about was Paul Allen. Paul LOVED watching young guards flourish.

    Simons does need get stronger so he doesn't get tie on those screens so much. But at beginning of the game I did see playing decent at that end but I think he got tired and started to use is energy on offensive. I thought Trent did a good game with a real good mid range game especially with his 3 wasn't falling. Trent also had some decent defense at the beginning on defense and then spurts here and there. I see Trent as a 2 not a 3 in this league.

    So if OKC traps Dame with the success the Pels had last year is it even remotely out of nowhere possible Anfernee sees any time at all?
    There's no scouting report on him, could he possibly play?
    I'm guessing no, but dam that was fun last night.
    (Nice job, Neil??)

    Yeah I doubt it unless there is an injury. Chances are that any young rookie, who has barely played during the season, would choke under the pressure of a playoff game.
