Jimmy Butler already getting disgruntled with his role on the team in Philadelphia. Dude must be an asshole if the drama follows him wherever he goes.

I tried telling yall.

I tried telling yall.

You were speaking in unison with me. Shit keeps on happening with Jimmy.

I hope that Stotts says something like this occasionally:
Bill Oram: Once again Luke Walton is hammering the point that Lakers stopped trusting each other in the fourth and “guys start trying to do it on their own.” Says, “That’s not a recipe for us to win.”

It's cute for the interim coach to say something while the real coach is out for a few games.

All that talent wasted on self-sabotage.

 

[James lamphear]

Well he not good team mate he never has been anywhere he has play that why I didn't what him here.

 

[James lamphear]

Here my prediction on CJ this will be the last contact with the Blazers. It wont be the organization that don't try to sign him. It be CJ moving on from the organization due to that he won't get offer that he likes or he decided he don't want play 2 fiddle to Dame and now Nurk. I believe is choice would be the Knick if he leaves.

I'm sure whoever did it, felt it was making fun of you, or nothing the board wants to promote. It doesn't bother me.

 

[KingSpeed]

Anyone know why Jimmy Butler didn’t play tonight?

 

[Rastapopoulos]

 

[JDC]

Jalen is solid.

Tough, smart and a killer shooter off the bounce.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

General Soreness?

From RealGM:
Russell Westbrook: Win Over Blazers Was Personal
JAN 5, 2019 1:44 PM

Russell Westbrook said he found personal motivation in the Oklahoma City Thunder's 111-109 win over the Portland Trail Blazers as it was the first time the Thunder won a road game in Portland since 2014.

"I thought about that yesterday when I landed. Hell, yeah. So, it's a personal thing for me," said Westbrook.

Westbrook finished the game with 31 points, 9 rebounds, and 7 assists.

"We haven't won in here in a while. I know Nick [Collison] is at home. If he's watching, he'll probably be happy we finally won here. I didn't tell nobody. I just kept it to myself."

I looked up to see if he was right. Turns out Portland has pretty much dominated the series against the Thunder for the last few years.

Batum for Parsons would be such a good trade for both teams.

Here's what happened:

Thibs went to the owner and said he had a trade in place for Evan Turner. The owner fired him before he could do it.

In case it isn't clear I'm just messing around.

That kills my idea: We take on Wiggin's dumpster fire contract - they take Turner, Leonard, and Stotts as their new coach.

How about ET, Olshey, and Stotts for KAT?
