in the last 4 games, Grant (turns 33 next season), Holiday (36 next season), & Timelord (unrestricted free agent) have combined to average 56 points, 17 rebounds, 11 assists. Blazers averaged 116 points over those 4 games. So those 3 vets combined for 48% of Portland's points. Kind of looks like...

of all of the high scoring players in the NBA right now, Bam is about the last star I would have picked to top Kobe's 81.

is that the 3rd or 4th time this season that the Blazers have fucked-up the side-out in-bounds pass in the last 30 seconds?

there were two fouls...the illegal leg kick by Kneuppell; and Timelord jumping into the shooter's landing zone. Offsetting penalties resulting in a jump ball was the fair call

LOL....c'mon man how do you know Cronin would have taken Miller if Charlotte would have taken Scoot? You're apparently a mind reader now because your post was basically you telling me exactly what Cronin was thinking and would have done in other circumstances. by the way....I think 'BPA' has...

I can't keep track of what it is you're arguing yes. I said that as part of a response to your assertion there was no 'obvious starter' available at 3. I posted the pre-draft evaluations of Scoot, not only was he supposed to be an obvious starter; he was alleged to be the kind of talent that...

that's simply not accurate...at all I remember one narrative was that "Scoot would be the #1 pick in a normal draft that didn't have a Wemby". He was compared, repeatedly, to fast athletic PG's like Derrick Rose, Westbrook, and Morant. Those were national takes, not just views in this forum...

yeah, I know what live ball turnovers are...which is most of them. Jrue doesn't commit a lot of moving screens. Scoot does pass to fans a lot though

an idea Dame had pretty clearly dismissed well before the draft I think Cronin was pretty much engineering Dame's trade request by picking a PG. You don't invest a 3rd pick in a multi-year backup

if people think NBA officiating is bad they haven't watched college ball

he was rooting for the Clippers and Warrior to lose helping Portland's play-in seeding. He got half his wish

Jrue is averaging 4.8 turnovers/100-possessions; that's his highest mark in 12 years. Scoot is a turnover machine. So are Deni & Shaedon Portland only has 2 players above a 2.0 assist/turnover ratio (Jrue-Wesley). And their best, Jrue, is only at 2.16 (his worst mark since his rookie season)...

because he's almost exclusively a drop-coverage C, he's going to have games when he's less impactful. I think he's still inexperienced enough to let issues on defense or offense impact the other end of the floor

that doesn't really match his numbers though in the month of February, he averaged: * 14.3 points --> his highest PPG of the season * 13.0 rebs --> his highest RPG of the season * 3.1 assists --> his highest APG of the season * a 2.43 assist/turnover ratio --> his best mark of the season *...
