[Cugel]

Mitchell is fine.

 

[Chris Craig]

Mitchell is fine.

Still awaiting MRI

 

[DDolla]

Please rest Dame after Murray and Mitchell injuries

 

[Hoopguru]

So what you're saying is that Jody Allen needs to sell to Melo?

I'm fine with that, as long as he stops playing basketball.

I think it may be a trend that ex players/super stars will buy into pro franchises. Melo seems to be well respected around the league and its possible he's already but together a group to go after the Blazers?

 

[BlazerBeav]

The Knicks hanging on here in Dallas would be helpful.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Does anyone know why the Jazz and Pacers game was so early? Seems weird for a Friday

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Lets go Knicks!!

 

[Labinot41]

Knicks helping us. They are not trash anymore

 

[Pinwheel1]

So the Mavs have the talent and a great coach. How are they behind us?

They have Luka and KP and that's it, and KP has been disappointment the last few years

Seemed like there were many who thought Richardson was an improvement over CJ for us. He no longer registers there?

Actually Carlisle has been average at best. In last 9 years he's been bounced form first round 5 times and not made the offs 4, including last year.

Don't forget Kleber and Hardaway Jr.....many wanted them as well and for good reason. Their team has talent.
Before the start of the season, most Blazer fans picked the Mavs to make a big jump. Now I would be surprised if they still passed us based on the remaining schedules, but still, it surprises me they are not doing better.

Hey, remember when everyone wanted Saddiq Bey and then promptly forgot because we traded for RoCo? Well, Olshey's gotta be thanking his god that RoCo is playing well, cuz

This should please @HCP:

The Jazz-Lakers game is in the afternoon today, and by rule, games can't be less than 24 hours apart - so they moved up the Jazz home game yesterday.

It's too bad he would have had no chance getting minutes with Stotts as the coach.

Yeah, I wanted Bey. But Nassir is taking the sting out of that one. Still, I hate giving up 1st round picks. Little is a bit bigger, more athletic with a longer wingspan. And regardless of what anyone says he is not a SG. SF of the future.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

This Jazz-Lakers game is interesting. No stars, no clear leaders. Just a bunch of second/third-tier players trying to make the best of their situations.

Utah's ball movement is impressive, especially their interior passing game. But they've got nobody to handle Drummond on the other end.

Ilyasova certainly stayed ready for his chance:

 

[Labinot41]

Fuck Utah, all my homiez hate Utah

 

[Jayblaze]

Utah helping the lakers so they wont fall to the 8 seed in play them in the first round cowards

 

[Chris Craig]

Always happens. Blazers bout to overtake a team in the standings and that team wins a game they should lose.

utah jazz played without mitchell, gobert and conley, so im not really sure how the lakers shouldve lose that game

 

[THE HCP]

Halftime
Spurs up 20 on Suns

 

[Pinwheel1]

Eubanks was 7-7 against us and now is 6-6 so far against the Suns.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Does Steph Curry ever slump? My god

And Favors as well. That was pretty much his point.
