All he does is go 18/13 every night. Or was tonight the first time he's done that? I can't remember.

Maybe not but I think it is safe to say he doesn't "suck". As stated before he is a versatile guy to have on your bench. The guy is playing three positions for the Blazers right now and plays excellent "team" defense because he can switch off and cover so many other players.

I also think when he is on the floor LMA plays better. Seems to give him more room by spreading the floor as opposed to when Camby or Joel are on the floor. Of course I would rather have Camby back, but Dante has stepped up big time.

I think LA plays best with Camby b/c of Camby's passing skills. Although right now you could probably throw Ha out there and LA would still be killing it. He's just so locked in right now.
 
Cunningham was a beast last night! Very impressive! Would love to see him bring that energy on a nightly basis when given the minutes.
 
As Aldridge continues to evolve into a true center, guys like Cunningham who can hustle and hit jumpers and jump out on the perimeter make more sense than immobile traditional C's like Przybilla.

Cunningham himself isn't that special, but his versatile game is the kind of thing I'd like to see us go after in upgrading the team.

With Kirilenko's contract coming off the books and Utah in a meltdown mode, I'd like to see us go after him to upgrade that backup 4. He'd be a decent value at the full MLE.
 
That said, Cunningham was fantastic last night. If he brought that to every game, I'd definitely be less worried about upgrading there.

If only he could do that whirling dervish routine most nights. That's the best I've ever seen him play
 
How did they find a guy with a face like that to play that role? What are the odds?
 
i don't think the guy is a top level, high calibre NBA player but i do think he is a potentially vital cog for the composition of our team. he is hustle, he is energy, and he is enthusiasm. i appreciate that in any player and im happy to call him a Blazer.
 
Why is he called "Junkyard Dog"? Is it because he wears a mask?
 
Sad to see him go, but ya gotta give to get. He gave it 100% every night and looked like he had the skills to become a solid role player.
