Nah, this is going back to Alberta. Rogers Place and the ICE district will be rocking!

He was stoned so many times in the game by Saros causing him to break his stick on the bench in frustration. Nice to see him rewarded with the game and series clinching goal after a solid game.

They dropped from 4th to 22nd in defensive efficiency under Griffin. Sure, some of that may be attributable to Dame defending like a wet blanket, but the others on the court including Giannis weren’t defending much better. Every win was a struggle including against teams like Detroit who they...

The worst thing the Bucks did in the off season was fire Coach Bud before giving him an opportunity to work with Dame. Adrian Griffin is a bumbling fool, and makes Chauncey look like a tactical genius. Most of the decline in the team’s defensive efficiency is not because of the arrival of Dame...

Apparent calf soreness. Likely load management.

A good prospect to be sure. I, personally, would have preferred MarJon Beauchamp from Milwaukee. That kid has the potential to be a stud.

Living in Canada I can tell for certain Shaedon Sharpe was not invited to play for Canada’s FIBA team. Neither was Benedict Mathurin. Canada pulled this roster together two years ago and asked the players to make a three-year commitment to get them through the FIBA Worlds and the ‘24 Paris...

This just makes me want to trade him even more to NBA Siberia. Hopefully Joe feels the same.

Absolutely no need to accommodate Dame by sending him to one of his preferred destinations. For the good of the franchise send him anywhere where the team can maximize the return. Period.

Given the contracts handed out to guys like Van Vleet and Bane, I don’t think Grant’s contract will be too hard to move when the new CBA kicks in. At worst we should expect a first round draft pick, at best maybe a young prospect and a draft pick.

I’m hoping Phil buys the team if for no other reason than to get the Vulcans and Bert Kolde out of the picture. Those fuckers have had way too much power for far too long.

Thoughts on Thad Young? Heard he might be released by the Raps. He’s a bit long in the tooth now but still serviceable.

I thought getting Vanderbilt might be the only move the Blazers make but that’s out the window if the reported 3-team trade is accurate. Who the fuck knows what Cronin’s plan is now. And fuck the Lakers… the only team on the planet that could turn that atrocious Westbrook contract into D’Angelo...

Man, imagine this team with a prime, uninjured (if there is such a thing) Greg Oden. Sigh.

He apparently has turned down the 4-year $112M (AAV: $28M) offer the Blazers extended. I would consider 5 years at that $28M number but not sure I would exceed that or it becomes an albatross towards the tail end. If his salary expectations are beyond the $28M I personally would trade him prior...
