When was the last time a center was on the floor for 36 minutes? Clingan really has heart. Following his last season conditioning - he sure did whatever he could to improve on that end.

I love Vit. Never makes mistakes. Always makes the right play.

The Blazers, for whatever reason, don't play well against teams lacking players. It's incredibly maddening.

Is it just me?

If they were trying to make the playoffs would all those guys be OUT tonight? No. So tank and do it the right way. We still have people thinking they are trying to make the postseason.

If we get the 8 spot in the play-in, we are likely to make the playoffs. Gotta be healthy when you get there. We have a nice cushion over Dallas and Memphis to at least get the 10 spot. We are only 3 games behind the 8th place Warriors and we have the tiebreaker. We’ve tanked enough. Get over it.

Teams are always lacking players. Sometimes we win, sometimes we don’t.

I hope the new gm coach and owner are willing to wheel and deal. Make some decisions on some of our younger players that have peaked and package to make a difference. Detroit used to be a joke look where they are now. We need a gm that can blend the right talents that mesh. And oh defense wins championships

Detroit got there by developing their star PG and C and putting Grant/Jrue type vets around him. We’re doing just fine. If Giannis becomes an option, then of course you go get him. But Detroit this year could be us next year. Patience. Scoot is younger than Cade.

Clingan is going to be a monster in a few years

I forget how young he is. He is on his way to becoming an All Star in a few years.

Incredible pick up.

You cut the turnovers in half or so and you have a different looking squad out there every night. In the off season these guys have to tighten things up a bunch. Hopefully that comes with experience. You can’t blame Splitter for, literally, making a pass right to a defender. It happens several times a game.
