Yeah, he looks like a point guard. He has surprised me in that role. He was only credited with one assist but it could very easily have been 5. He had some nice dribble penetration and kick-outs to guys who missed wide-open shots. He looks a lot more comfortable out there. I still think he's going to be good.
 
Man everything what Kenny and Chuck said about the Blazers are all true. We just don’t play defense consistently.
 
I'm pretty sure @THE HCP will be in here in a little bit to ask if we're good now. Sorry if I stole your joke. I think the answers to all of your questions lately are the classic 8 ball answers:

● Reply hazy, try again.
● Ask again later.
● Better not tell you now.
● Cannot predict now.
● Concentrate and ask again.
 
Rubio can’t shoot but man I would love to have him running our second unit. When is he a free agent? He belongs in Portland lol

He’s always looked like a point guard to me. Did you see the game in his first season vs The Kings where he had 37 points? He was amazing that game.

Yeah, I thought he looked like more of a shooting guard in that game. Last year as well. This year I can see why they have confidence in him.

This is basically exactly what he said after the game. He has been trying to get other involved these first few games, but wanted to come out more aggressive tonight.

Just a lot less posts in general on a night where the complainers don't have much to piss and moan about.

well, when Dame is playing well, Aldo and Labinot don't have much to say, except about Nurkic...unless he's playing well too

As I recall he had some sweet passes that game and 9 assists.
 
What is going on with Anthony Edwards? It’s like he’s trying to wreck the Wolves on purpose.

I won't have people talking this kind of shit about the great Anthony Edwards who single handedly launched the careers of both Tom Cruise and George Clooney. Look it up, it's a fact.

On a basketball note, no one can wreck wreckage.

But there are valid excuses for all the other teams struggling, with the exception of Portland

True. They don’t have two short guards, Terry Stotts for a coach or Olshey for a GM so what valid reasons would there be to criticize them?
 
Fucking cracks me up the same people who just blast this team simply DISAPPEAR during games like this. Crickets! Gone! At least be consistent and give credit when it's due......it will give your critiques more credibility, trust me.
 
Of course Anfernee is put on a poster courtesy of Anthony Edwards :bored:

Credit for beating the worst team in the league? Credit for one game performances? Nah. Theyll get credit when they play consistently on more than a one-game basis. Stotts will get credit when he starts adjusting more, adapting better, and once he gets the team to move the ball more, gets more player movement (especially DJJ), and gets the team playing better defensively.

Blazers played Minny, not Lakers, so if You expect peps to be sorry and say Blazers are great again... Win against Minn w/o KAT basically means nothing. More, that's the main problem we got: We play shit and neither you or Stotts can see the problem, but after win against GLeague team with Dame going 40 you behave like Blazers ve just won Championship.

Big bro come on now man you know damn well this is Minnesota. I think they’ve lost 5-6 straight.
 
Minnesota wasn't very good tonight but I was looking for his other players getting involved in the offense beside Dame and CJ. 1st quarter not really but 2nd and 3rd we collected a lot of assist in those quarter. Defense so so there 2 guards had productive nights but we also made so good defense made too. Simons score in the 3rd unit but he was looking for his shot instead running that group as a point guard at times players was open when he try to on minnesota defense not good look to me.
