Hark is probably really earning himself a paycheck with his performance in this series. The opposite of what Crabbe and Henderson are doing.

Crabbe and Henderson were terrific tonight and Crabbe was 5/5 in Game 4. Also, Henderson had 16 points in Game 1.
 
Mo's regular season per36 averages are identical to his playoff averages.

Plumlee is the story here. He's an elite passer.
 
Crabbe played 27 minutes in game 5, going 4-10 for 11 points. 4 rebounds, 3 assists, too.

He's an integral part of the defense, as I see it.

We held the Clips to 41.9% shooting.

I'll take it.

He plays some SF for us. No question he's an important contributor.
 
With this spread pick and roll that gets Plumlee the ball unguarded in the middle of the key.... Would you rather have AMinu left wide open in the corner, or Meyers.... Or if we ran that pick and roll leaving Meyers unguarded at the free throw line with the ball.... Dude is automatic from there, ohh and he's not much worse of a passer than Mason.

All I'm saying is Meyers could be killing this matchup and it's not a stretch of the imagination to see how.
 
Agree - with the Clippers scheme defensively, this series was built for Meyers.

Because do you want to see him go to another team and turn into a star for them without getting anything back?

No, and do I think he will turn into a star? No.

He's a spot up jump shooter, he doesn't have the handles or penetration ability to be a start scorer, and his defense is average.
 
For the blazers to have made the playoffs this season a LOT had to go right, which is why Olshey refused to count the team out as a playoff contender in the preseason back when all those douchey reporters were trying to get him on record saying that the team couldn't make the playoffs. Most of the blazers youngsters grew this year and started realizing their potential, and that is why they were able to make the playoffs. Olshey didn't bring in a bunch of undervalued veteran players and "moneyball it" like Canzano was saying.

Pretty much everything went right this season:
Damian Lillard had to become a leader, and he did.
CJ had to become a stud, and he did.
Mason Plumlee had to prove he is a starting center, and he did.
Crabbe had to step up and be a big contributor, and he did.
Henderson needed to come back from surgery and play well, and he did.
Aminu had to hit some open threes, play defense, and bring it EVERY night (unlike like Batum), and he did.
Harkless had to play defense and find a niche on offense where he could be productive, and he did.
Ed Davis had to keep doing what Ed Davis does, and he did.
Noah Vonleh had to show some promise, and he did.

The only thing that went wrong for the blazers this year was Meyers Leonard getting injured.

The blazers had to believe in themselves and they DID!

We are in good hands with Olshey.

You forgot one:

Terry Stotts had to figure out how to integrate 4 new starters and a new bench and have them all accept their roles, play together as a cohesive unit and vastly exceed all preseason projections, and he did.

There was a clip today or last night or something with some dude saying it was like Kerr opened his lunchbox to find a whole meal prepared at a 3 Michelan Star restaurant and Stotts opened his and found a PBJ, some Jelly Beans found under the seat of the van and a Celery stick.

Yesterday, the Rip City Mornings guys said something similar--basically that Stotts made a gourmet meal out of random leftover ingredients, whereas Kerr took a perfect cut of filet mignon, and simply prepared it to perfection.
