Napier -22 in 11 minutes lol

I wonder when others will come around on him being expendable. If he gets an offer of the tax MLE let him go.

 

[Hey]

Napier -22 in 11 minutes lol

Matches the eye test. I think we'd be crazy to give him 10 million a year.

 

[TBpup]

Napier -22 in 11 minutes lol

A Nolan Smith kind of night....yuck!

 

[tykendo]

It reminded me of that bastard Magic Johnson.

Good call. Man! I can still see that ball slowly bouncing down the court.

 

[H.C.]

I never like playing OKC.
I do like beating OKC though.

 

[joeBlazers]

C. J. Can you play like this every night?

Unpopular opinion:

I think Melo wouldve been a much better player in Portland.

 

[B-Roy]

Steven Adams played 36 minutes and had a double double with 17/10 but only got 1 defensive board??? How does that even work.

Both guys we recruited this offseason were trash.

George 4/15 in 39 minutes
Melo 3/13 in 30 minutes

Nurk outplayed Adams with 17/12 in 6 less minutes. I think it's time to start playing Nurk 30+ MPG consistently. He's no longer playing out of his comfort zone and his presence on the floor makes things so much easier for everyone else on both offense and defense.

Napier -22 in 11 minutes lol

Yeah, I'm worried about him. I wanted to trade him at the deadline because I was worried he was overachieving the first half of the season.

Since the break, he's looked like the player he was before he came to Portland. A player that could have a decent game off the bench every once in a while, but overall, not efficient and not reliable.

 

[Darkwebs]

It reminded me of that bastard Magic Johnson.

Same. But I didn't want to mention that; it was traumatizing as a kid to watch the Blazers go out like that.

 

[Scalma]

CJ carried us.

Lillard was good when it mattered.

Nurkic neutralized Adams again.

 

[BonesJones]

Lol at the "experts" that still think that OKC is better than us.

I wonder if Wade Baldwin is just that bad that we couldn’t afford to trade Bazz lol

 

[tykendo]

Take your superteam OKC. I will take this Blazers, young, and developing, TOGETHER, team ,over yours any dog gone day.

 

[tykendo]

Lol at the "experts" that still think that OKC is better than us.

Smoking some good dope they are.

Unpopular opinion:

I believe this to be true.
Though Aminu shooting 40%+ For most of the season has offset that.
Aminu's defense has been invaluable this season.

 

[joeBlazers]

There is a coaching vacancy at UConn ... just saying !!!

Dame please wake up... Dame Jr is just OK, please go and win this.

Called it... then Dame hit that side 3.

 

[H.C.]

Lol at the "experts" that still think that OKC is better than us.

At least tag him. @HCP

 

[Boob-No-More]

Lol at the "experts" that still think that OKC is better than us.

Since when is the HCP an "expert"?

BNM

 

[illmatic99]

Dame just doesn't hesitate in crunch time. And CJ killed that. Wow what a win

And wow. Melo was awful. Unplayable

 

[TBpup]

 

[joeBlazers]

Would he come off the bench? Would he sit the end of games, when we need defense?
HELL NO. Melo would have destroyed team chemistry.

Unpopular opinion:

[Scalma]

Those Melo shots late in the game lol good Westbrook impression.

No chance George stays.

 

[santeesioux]

OKC fans are lowkey almost as annoying as Rocket fans.

 

[tykendo]

I'm lovin' that!!

 

[julius]

Man, Steven Adams makes Nurk look small.

 

[DDolla]

Maybe PG13 can look at the Blazers team and sign with us.

 

[joeBlazers]

Let's win that next game.
Shabbazz/Pat have chosen the perfect time to get in a slump ... Dame's mind is a away ... and Shabbazz/Pat refuse to show up for work ... WTF ... He wants to get paid?
