[KeepOnRollin]

You should start a thread.

Yes, please do KingSpeed then he will turn it around.

 

[Trackjack]

6 players in double figure in scoring tonight nice job Blazers.

Plumlee is reaching Harkless levels in terms of availability in trades. I kinda wanna see him stick here with a rim running, shot blocking C behind him.

Or hell, as a PF next to Boogie.

Whoa.

 

[riverman]

Finally a smackdown against a top team!!!

Whoa.

I agree. Hes a keeper, and the good part is Aminu is getting paid like a backup so he doesn't need to be traded either and can just backup Plumlee.

Whoa.

Would you trade Hark and Plum for Cousins?

 

[noknobs]

Nice win! Fuck you Westbrook.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Would you trade Hark and Plum for Cousins?

On talent alone that wouldn't get Sacramento's attention. They're going to get better offers.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Turner continues to play extremely well. Loving his game and his attitude out on the court.

The refs let Westbrook get away with so much bullshit

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

Finally a smackdown against a top team!!!

Pun intended? I am not sure if you realize what you just did.

 

[noknobs]

Jon Barry got his protein tonight sucking Westbrook off all game. That was at minimum 50% of the broadcast.

 

[Scalma]

Would you trade Hark and Plum for Cousins?

What kind of question is that?

Hey, would you trade Harkless for Lebron?

 

[BigGameDamian]

Would you trade Hark and Plum for Cousins?

Yep. Dame is the ONLY untouchable on this team.

It was a very frustrating broadcast to listen to. Typical national broadcast....had a few talking points and repeated it over and over for two hours.

Did you know Westbrook averages a triple double?

 

[Strenuus]

Yep. Dame is the ONLY untouchable on this team.

it wouldnt be enough.

oh wait, im supposed to overrate my players... bad fan!

 

[blue9]

Yep. Dame is the ONLY untouchable on this team.

Followed very closely by Harkless, IMO. For the combined total of the following reasons:
1 - He's very* good.
2 - There aren't very* many good (let alone, very* good) SFs in the league.
3 - His contract is very* friendly.

Add that all up, and trading him would likely be a step backwards. I'd trade CJ before Harkless, and I'm not on the "trade CJ" bandwagon (yet).
*"Very" is a very strange looking word when you start using it a lot.

 

[BonesJones]

What is Layman's problem?

We've given him some rotational minutes here and there and the guy can't hit an open shot.

You're being ridiculous. He played spot minutes in a couple games. That's not enough to build a rythym at all, especially for a rookie.

 

[Tunchi]

Would you trade Hark and Plum for Cousins?

King why do you ask obvious questions like that ?

King why do you ask obvious questions like that ?

I know this is inappropriate and all, but did you ever notice that your handle is an anagram of "hi cunt". Just sayin'.

 

[MarAzul]

One good play by the Blazers tonight. Plum down low on left block with ball up high, CJ coming to the rim from the right high wing. Catches the ball in stride and lays it in while all head swivel backward. It looked like fine team work, like Sloan might have drawn it up.

Sigh! Every thing else was swing the ball and shoot, or isolation. That is first round and done stuff.

 

[Scalma]

Nice win! Fuck you Westbrook.

Did anyone catch Westbrook calling Leonard a "sorry ass"

Leonard hit his next two threes after that.

 

[MarAzul]

Would you trade Hark and Plum for Cousins?

I wouldn't trade you for Cousins.

 

[Tunchi]

I know this is inappropriate and all, but did you ever notice that your handle is an anagram of "hi cunt". Just sayin'.

No I didn't. Your somewhat talented for discovering that. I hope you got compensated in monetary value for that.

 

[Strenuus]

King why do you ask obvious questions like that ?

Oh, you were around!

 

[Scalma]

Btw Westbrook is so overrated. Always has been. Most the plays he makes is on talent alone. I know he has to put up crazy shots this season because he's by himself, but his shot selection has always been stupid. Lillard usually always outplays him when they matchup and he does it without shooting air guns after every made three and screaming and 1 after every drive to the basket.

 

[dviss1]

Missed the game. What went down between Dame and Westbrook?

 

[Scalma]

Missed the game. What went down between Dame and Westbrook?

Westbrook took this fat L.

 

[BlazerBeav]

While I certainly appreciate the fact that in spite of the officiating we still kicked their ass comfortably, the jackasses in stripes were particularly worthless tonight. Refusing two call the 2-3 obvious delay of games against Russell, somehow letting the Thunder go the whole 3rd quarter without being whistled for a foul, not realizing Kantner forgets about that whole dribbling thing, etc. So bad.
