    I really wonder if our lack of a true big man coach contributed to this mistake by Olshey in letting him go. I have read that he has got a lot of coaching from Horford.

    Was looking at Devin Booker’s 3pt shooting % (35%) and surprisingly he’s a very average 3pt shooter. He’s right on the average at 35%. What’s even more surprising is that DJJ is only 2% points behind Booker at 33% (albeit on half the volume). That’s a substantial improvement for DJJ. If he keeps this up, we might not be able to keep him this summer.

    Well i suppose all of DJJ's 3s are wide open while Booker takes a lot of them off the dribble so there's not much to compare.

    It's true though that Booker isn't a great 3pt shooter. This is why he doesn't take a lot of them at least not as many as such a great scorer normally takes. Just 30% of his shots are 3 pointers. Even LeBron shoots more.

    PJ Washington played 44 minutes without scoring a point. What’s the record for that?

    in 38 minutes, Chris Paul has 1 assist and 4 turnovers. I doubt that has ever happened

    Always thought Moses had skills. Sucks that Olshey had to let him go after Stotts refused to use him.

    It's rare for a player to shoot 50/40/90.

    The Blazers are very close to letting the Raptors do that.....AS A TEAM.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    @blazerkor I think you've been one of the biggest Julius Randle fans on this forum, so I was reminded of you when I saw this video (from IMO the best basketball youtuber around, J Kyle Mann):

    Do the Nuggets have the most talent in the Western Conference? This is their 12th man:


    They remind me of the Whitsitt-era Blazers - just too much talent on the roster to use most of it. Bol Bol as Jermaine O'Neal.

    The Top 5 teams in the West:
    Lakers, Clippers, Jazz, Suns, Nuggets.
    You could rank them in basically any order and you'd have a case.
    (Interesting that there's no Texas teams in there. Might be the first time in a while.)
