Omg Cp3 wow

 

[AldoTrapani]

To think “The Wave” made the Thunder better and us worse smh

 

[DUB]

Career high and Seattle/Hurd don't even mention his birthday!?

They mentioned earlier that it’s Trent’s birthday.

 

[James lamphear]

These how Trent shot in the G-league last year so this could be the game that show him he can do at this level. Very good confidence booster for the young man.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

They say that plus-minus won't tell you much in one game; but somehow Trent is plus 2.

 

[Darkwebs]

Mario sucks at rebounding, sucks at defense, sucks at shooting. Is he good at anything?

 

[James lamphear]

Trent is running on fumes for being sick he has play Marjority of this 2nd half.

Saving the princess after she dupes him 7 times.

[Darkwebs]

And the birthday boy is even blocking shots.

 

[Chris Craig]

The poll question should read: What Blazers player will go down in this game?

No that's the question for the Mavericks game on Thursday

 

[Darkwebs]

Scott Foster may not be here tonight, but his spirit lives on in these refs, who call the Blazers legitimate block a goal-tending against the Thunder

 

[James lamphear]

We got some really good talent on this team if they can put all together.
Trent
Skals
Simons
Hoard
Little
New comer Gabriel

 

[Darkwebs]

Trent gifts Portland fans with free McNuggets on his birthday. What a stand up guy!

 

[Scalma]

TRENT.

 

[James lamphear]

Trent 30 points tonight 5 rebs 1assist 1block 3 steals just overall a nice game.

 

[DUB]

Much more respectable than I thought it would be. We were right in the game for almost three quarters. Good effort by the players. Great game by Trent.

 

[twobullz]

IF CJ doesn't play Monday Trent should start instead of Simons. Let simons stay in his normal role as 1st guard off the bench.

Convincing people like Olshey to give him money.

 

[AldoTrapani]

I know a lot of the guys on this forum is to shortsighted to see it but these loses need to keep piling up. It’ll be worth it draft time

Not after Neil trades the 1st rnd pick with Whiteside

 

[illmatic99]

8 players, can't expect more tonight

Totally... Nice effort and gameplan by the guys!

 

[Tince]

Not after Neil trades the 1st rnd pick with Whiteside

For an expiring contract

 

[Chris Craig]

For an expiring contract

For Kevin Love

 

[kjironman1]

Man Chris Paul is destroying us lol

But he is way too old to be worth anything i thought?

 

[kjironman1]

Man i love how cp3 uses screens so well and hits thats mid range so damn consistently

Old dude.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Old dude.

Dame doesn’t play like cp3 tho. Dame relies on his athleticism more. I think dame will slow down sooner because of his style of play.

Cp3 seems ageless because he plays much more strategically and never uses his athletic ability per say compared to others

Paul has played one full season in his entire career due to injuries.
Exactly how many times has Paul missed games or ended his season because of injury in the playoffs?
Dude pulls a hamstring just thinking about cutting too hard.
Dude is 5 years older than Dame.

I don't think Dame relies on his athleticism so much that he won't be able to adapt later in his career. Dame is crafty in the way he gets to the hole. He's becoming a better passer all of the time. He's a shooter and shooters age well. Your assessment that he'll be diminished in three years is way way off.

Voted Baze for the fuck of it
