    Vonleh says he played better in 2nd half because he and the team simplified things. Just play like Faried.

    Both players (who were asked) said Nurkic impressed them the most this year.

    Vonleh is so easy to root for, and he's honest with himself. I hope he puts it all together, in Portland.

    Agreed, I need my ounce of flesh. Still so annoyed by this trainwreck season.

    Napier said he has learned more this year then any other in the NBA. He has never lacked confidence but he learned he can complete and play this year.

    Three things I got from the Meyers interview:

    He's fragile as fuck. Jesus.

    He literally blamed the organization for him not playing well, and the fans for not giving him confidence. If that's not a tell that he's not cut out for the NBA, I dont know what is.

    And he said he physically has felt better than the entire year. That he's physically healthy. WHEN JUST A MONTH AGO, it was injuries that NO ONE ELSE talked about. The fuck just happened?

    This is just a horrible use of tech by the Blazers. Keep a single stream link and get the whole thing done.

    Napier likes POR a lot. It is somewhat similar in style and weather to BOS (where he is from). Fans are great.
