YH is a project, but this was a good game for him. He looked like an NBA players out there. Not a particularly good one, but he did not look completely out of sort. This is good.

We have seen that Blazers have done well with players that proved stuff in lower categories. Deni was a MVP of a foreign league as a teenager. DC was a monster in college and won there - and it translates. YH was a good player at a lower level league. That's where the hope is with him, it will take some time, but there is a chance it translates sooner or later.

He did several particularly great things. Open your eyes...or mind. Average players don't make those kinds of passes. That feinting no-look was beautiful.

It competes with that post by the HCP guy who kept telling people not to discuss the draft because the draft was weak and then we came out with Clingan and we see what Clingan is doing for us now in just his second season. Tough to say which is worse.

You are comparing somebody on here claiming somebody is racist to ANYTHING I’ve ever posted?

I will probably regret this as they will probably catch fire tomorrow, but the two forwards we coveted most from Houston in trade scenarios...... went 7-31. I can see why there is love for Eason.....he still played well, but I think Sharpe will have a brighter future than Jabari Smith from that draft.

I've always felt like JSJ doesn't ever really do much. He's capable, but just rarely does it. Maybe it's that he's in KD's shadow now? But he historically hasn't taken the ball and just ran to the top. Seems soft.

 

[Domihatin]

Maybe it's just me, but I thought the fouls called on Yang were either marginal, questionable, or wrong. The kind of foul calls that would not have been called on an established vet.

It was atrocious. I am still picking up pieces of broken things around my house that had to take the brunt of my anger as I flew into things trying to stem the tide of my rage during this game. Not really, but metaphorically.

nothing is worse than a couch that complains to the refs!

It was probably a mindless autocorrect by the AI idiot-brain that made the moronic call that it thought I was talking about couches and wanted to correct my mistake when I put coaches!!!!! Hahahahahaha

I don’t know man. It’s really close. And in my opinion the shot doesn’t show clearly that the ball was already tipped or being tipped. Not “clear as day” as you call it. Glad they got the call but you have to admit that might not have warranted an over turn.

Not sure if we both saw all of the same thing but i just cant say that. I mean Lamar and KC paused it with finger on the ball and red light on. They immediately said it will be overturned. Didn't take the refs long at all and they were decisive as well.

All good though. We both have old eyes.
