You know I'm watching the ATL game and I'm trying figure out what it is that makes them good and nothing really stands out. Then it occurred to me that their coach is a former Spurs assistant I believe and the may be set to just be efficient and get it done.

I pulled hard for us to get Budenholzer for years. Knew he'd be a great coach. I'm happy with Stotts though.
 
The Raptors score 31 1st quarter points.... And they are down by 9 to the Warriors.

Meanwhile in Utah the Jazz have it down to 4... Until the Hawks hit a 3 to take it back to 7
 
Dudley would be a great fit here.

I wonder what his price tag would be? He's shooting the hell out of the ball from three.
 
Almost feel bad for Kobe with how stupid his teammates and coach are. Almost....well. not really bwahahah
 
Love seeing Kobe fail. That being said, I do root for the Lakers when they play the Warriors, Rockets, Mavs or Grizz. We need as much help as we can get.

He's averaging 4 points a game... His stats this year are very similar to his last year with Portland. What are you talking about?

Shooting 52% from 3. He shot 37% in Portland. I know it's a small sample size, but he obviously has a great stroke.

every? You mean like Taurean Greene? Or Sebastian Telfair?

Who is this "every young guy" that the team gives up?

Moses Malone, Lafayette Lever, Drazen, Petrovic, Jermaine O'Neal, Jarrett Jack, Aaron McKie, Patty Mills, Jerryd Bayless, Omar Asik, Josh McRoberts, Sergio Rodriguez and Martell Webster.
 
Uhhhh what? Only a couple of those guys turned out better than average

You're really going to back to a player that were traded 38 years ago?

So, to be realistic, let's go with those in the last 10 years, because going back to 38, 30, 24 and 14 years ago is a tad bit of a stretch.

Those who were Blazers, and you listed:

Bayless, hasn't done much.
Josh McRoberts hasn't done shit in the league.
Sergio didn't do shit in the league.
Martell Webster hasn't improved at all in the time he's been in the league.
Jarrett Jack hasn't stuck with any team.

Omar never played for Portland, so are we going to bring up players who never actually played in a Blazers uniform now? (I believe Moses actually did play in a Blazers uniform for a pre-season game).

You could make a list of this kind of stuff with EVERY team in the league. If this is our list of players that went on to prove the Blazers made a mistake (as you imply), then I'll take that list over most of the ones in the NBA.
 
I think we all know what NBATVs top moment of 2014 was!

He got the shot off!

I bolded the part of your quote that said every guy we give up goes on to be good for another team... And pointed out that he's doing exactly what he did for us. If you meant simply that he's shooting better from 3 point range, then maybe you should say that.

And I pointed out the fact that Babbitt did not do the same thing for us. 52% != 38%

I asked if he was going to become the next Kyle Korver. They are similar players, and he's seems to be capable of being an ultra-elite 3pt shooter.

Everything we've done in the Stotts era has improved our team. You can feel nostalgic about Babbit all you want but he is not a very good basketball player. The biggest mistake in recent history was trading Dre for Felton but that was Nate's watch. Try to enjoy this team, you might find you actually like them. Or maybe just become a Pelican fan?
 
David Aldridge just likened the rockets recent struggles to GSW dropping 2/3 games. What....
 
11 pts
5 rebs
5 blks

....In the third quarter for Gobert tonight.

He's turning into a problem.
 
You know that chemistry thing the Blazers have? Well the rockets seem to have none of it!

Skip to the last :15 to save time as the rest is not worth watching.


Damn, Beverly sure is one testy punk. Makes me glad we've got a group of guys who all seem to get along so well with one another.

He was a huge part of France's success over the summer. He's still got a lot of room to improve, which I certainly expect him to.
 
Glen Rice Jr. on the trade block. Young kid with potential, maybe like CJ. How could the Wizards do something like this?
 
Anyone know the story behind Brook Lopez and Deron Williams being moved to the bench tonight?
 
Knicks fans getting a bit ornery: (by Ben Golliver)
