Will you hate him when he slumps? Because he will.

Or does he never slump because he's not a Blazer?

Pick a lane.

Not quite sure what ur problem is but everything I said about the blazers is coming true. Don’t be mad at me they suck

That wasn't my point at all.

This was about porter. You said if he has numbers like that who cares... but when he slumps does he suck?

You do realize im in the same camp with you in the Blazers? Is it not obvious?
 
Are we pulling for the Warriors or Mavs tonight?
 
62-29, ouch. Has to be GSW worst first half in a long time.

Pritch goes off for 28 but Celts suffer a painful loss to OKC. They probably won't see the second round; I have a feeling Ainge will be looking to wheel and deal in the off-season.

according to bbref, he's only played half of his minutes at PG this season, and that's with the offense being run thru Jokic, not Murray. I think Murray is mostly similar in role to CJ, not Dame the PG, in that he's not the primary initiator of offense

His career TS% is .557 which is about average efficiency (although he was much higher this season). The median TS% is .573 and the average is about .563. The median eFG% is .538 and he's at .513. If he's abover average in efficiency it isn't by much. As far as his defense, he's 2 points worse that his team in defensive rating ans is a minus defender in DBPM

which is pretty much what I said. I think Gordon would have fit better in Portland as well because I'm not sure how the Blazers can weave 4 guards, 6'3 & under, into an effective rotation, even by calling one of them a SF

Powell only makes sense, IMO, if he's re-signed and CJ is traded. Assuming Powell signs for 18-20M, I do not see any way the Blazers can afford to pay 100M year for three ball-dominant players under 6'4 no matter how much they want to pretend Powell is a SF

that might be academic anyhow because it seems more and more unlikely Powell will want to return to Portland after what has happened since he arrived

Murray has been shooting the ball very efficiently from bubble and then so i believe the step up is real. His TS was great this year.

Their pgs are Murray, Morris and Campazzo. Due to Gary Harris being out many games they gave a lot of starts to Morris so i suppose this is why this % of played position from bball reference but when everyone is healty he is starting at PG which means he is not undersized. That's what i m talking about.
The way team plays is different but that doesn't mean that he is used as SG. In that case they don't have a real pg but someone starts there, it's Murray.

Second round? They might not make into the first round. Embarrassment. OKC is legit trying to lose. Brad Stevens is such an awful coach.

Still better than stotts. Dame is the only saving grace.
 
As talented as Anthony Davis is, he can’t be the #1 on a team. Couldn’t do it in New Orleans and can’t do it when LeBron is out.
 
Chris Paul is so good. He’s the 1990s Stockton or the 1980s Isiah Thomas of the 2000s. So tough.

I like the Suns to make the NBA Finals if current health holds. Good betting odds still are available le

It never has so far in his career...

Wow, Kevin Porter Jr dropped 50 tonight. Houston got him for a 2nd round pick.
Click to expand...

youngest player in NBA history to score 50 points and have 10 assists in a game (he had 11)

Brandon Jennings scored 55 points in his 7th game in the league. He didn't come close to that in the following 560 games of his career
 
Wizards are 11-5 in April......
Are THESE triple doubles finally OK? Honest question.

 
wow, boston on the verge of monster comeback.

Well, lets go Wizards. If they beat the Mavs we're out of the play-ins at least for the time being.
