C;mon,they put in Varajo, where are our scrubs?

 

[Cugel]

Great games for Nurk and Enes. I just love watching Nas though.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Hooray! Ellerbee.

Oh is that the same Varajou who played like a century ago?

We have no scrubs.

Yeh, the same one still on our salary cap.

I enjoy watching ROCO and DJJ playing defense together. They are so disruptive because they are able to switch everything and always seem to be on the same page.

 

[DDolla]

5-1 road trip, now let’s beat the Lakers

 

[BlazerBeav]

Nas hits the difficult mid range. Melo should do this more often - facilitate.

It's true - Melo is a great passer who sees the court very well - just seems to get tunnel vision.

 

[bobf]

Hooray! Ellerbee.

LOL. Is anyone not still on our salary cap???

 

[Titan]

alright scrubs are in and we have a lead, so must have been a good game

 

[illmatic99]

We are still paying Varejao.

 

[BlazerBeav]

We are still paying Varejao.

I think that's the most insane thing contract wise in the league - been paying him since 2015 and he still hasn't played 1 minute for us.

 

[Titan]

We are still paying Varejao.

Think of it as this, we are paying him to lose.

 

[bobf]

Ok now don’t ruin our D rating here in the last minute

 

[Titan]

Something I notice with K-Love, he was not passing much tonight. With recent events, he probable has no friends on the team.

 

[bobf]

Good job Blazers!!!

 

[BlazerBeav]

Got the job done. NOW BEAT LA!

 

[crandc]

Great road trip and now:


BEAT LA!!!!

 

[illmatic99]

There better be no questions to Dame from the media about that article regarding Stotts getting fired. I don't need a Dame soundbite backing Terry to add to the drama this summer.

OK, I'll bite. What events?

 

[illmatic99]

he was quoted saying he wants to come to Portland.

 

[BonesJones]

 

[twobullz]

There was also a game the other day where he didn't sit in the team huddle during time outs. He would go sit somewhere else on the bench instead of the team huddle.

dame can say whatever he wants, and in public he will back him if pressed, but there’s more than enough smoke to believe he doesn’t care about Stotts anymore.

 

[Titan]

OK, I'll bite. What events?

late in the vid has the highlights, then another game after he never huddled with his team during time outs. He seems disengaged with the Cavs.

 

[wizenheimer]

We are still paying Varejao.

he's still on the cap, but Portland probably paid him off a long time ago.

there were a lot of moving parts to that trade that got him on the Blazer salary cap, but when it's all said and done that is probably the most expensive late 1st round draft pick in NBA history. And the blazers spent that money and used in on Caleb Swanigan

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Glad the Blazers are winning. Of course I'm sure all of us are glad they are playing better.
The Cleveland Cavaliers are a very bad team. Not really much to judge other than they did what they were supposed to do.

 

[Strenuus]

Just please make sure that the firing of stotts stays its course. Thats very important.
