[The Professional Fan]

Little man man!

 

[illmatic99]

dame looks absolutely WORN OUT

 

[VenomXL]

Ugh. That was a terrible sequence.

 

[TBpup]

Nurkic
Collins
Little
???
Ant

...Blazers next generation?

 

[TBpup]

I'm getting a LITTLE wood right now.

Hanging curveball there Sten...lol

 

[HailBlazers]

dame looks absolutely WORN OUT

Imagine if CJ played as hard on both ends as Dame.

 

[Strenuus]

Hanging curveball there Sten...lol

Oh i know. I'm putting it on a tee. Bring your best!

 

[TBpup]

Imagine if CJ played as hard on both ends as Dame.

And that is all we can do....imagine.

 

[B-Roy]

dame looks absolutely WORN OUT

Does he? The raptors are swarming him with 2, sometimes 3 players on every possession. He's only been able to get 5 shots off. I don't think he looks tired, but they're literally denying him and asking anyone else to punish.

Imagine if CJ played like he was on a team.

he doesnt miss that shot in those situations

 

[HailBlazers]

You guys are cracking me up.

 

[BonesJones]

That save by Nas was by far the best hustle play of the year.

 

[B-Roy]

Nurkic
Collins
Little

Ant

Dame will be here till he's 39.

 

[DDolla]

Dame need some load management rest but we just can’t do it with this team.

 

[riverman]

Nas is going to work his way into a rotation spot earlier than I think anybody expected...his defense is ahead of the curve already

 

[B-Roy]

Open 3s? I swear Dame misses more open 3s than contested ones.

 

[B-Roy]

Nas is going to work his way into a rotation spot earlier than I think anybody expected...his defense is ahead of the curve already

His awareness needs work. But he's got physical tools. Which is more than you can say for the other guys that have been playing his position so far, so I guess in that sense he looks ahead of the curve.

 

[riverman]

When CJ gets the ball he really does look like he's alone in a gym

 

[James lamphear]

I don’t know if Little is any good but he’s better than Mario and at least has upside.

He holding his own out there and he is hustling and some decent defense you can't ask more from the rookie.

 

[HailBlazers]

When CJ gets the ball he really does look like he's alone in a gym

Wait, you're telling me he's not? Maybe somebody should tell him.

yeah, it's the formula, and the Raptors are putting length on Dame. Portland hasn't had an answer for it in 4.1 seasons. Maybe tonight will be different

 

[kjironman1]

You guys better watch out because Little might be a decent find at the 25th pick.
Dude is playing.

 

[wizenheimer]

I liked what Callabro said: Nas is the one creating chaos on the floor. About time the Blazers had that kind of energy.

does anybody miss Tolliver?

Lakers giving AD the night off

Why do we have to watch out?

Stotts halftime adjustment: find a way for tolliver to get on the floor.

Next shot little misses hes benched for 4 weeks. Book it.

riverman does

Is Tolliver in uniform or there load management with him tonight.

 

[TBpup]

Honestly, due to some additions not working out, and with the injuries, it wouldn't bother me to add a Lottery pick to this group for next year when Nurkic is fully healthy and Collins is back. Not wishing for one but it could be that Spurs type reset where they had a bunch of injuries one year, added Duncan to Robinson/Elliot, etc, and were contenders for 15 years.

 

[wizenheimer]

Is Tolliver in uniform or there load management with him tonight.

yes...load management....he doesn't play, we don't shovel loads of bile

can you even get bile on a shovel?
