Notice OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA THREAD-January 2021

[kjironman1]

Sometimes I get the feeling that some people only watch Blazer games. Which is actually understandable and normal. But the NBA this year sure doesn’t seem normal to me at all. Blowouts, bad teams winning vs good teams on the road, it’s kind of a free for all out there.

We watch the Blazers AND read this board so naturally we are EXPERTS!

I am an expert.... in my own mind.

You and me both brother. You and me both.

This kid, man. He was arrested for guns earlier this season while having weed. But charges were dismissed. Has so much game though. Maybe we can revive him like we did Nurk?

CLEVELAND — Cavaliers guard Kevin Porter Jr. is expected to be traded or released following an outburst Friday in the Cavs locker room, The Athletic has learned from several sources with direct knowledge of the events.

Porter, 20, who has not played this season due to personal issues, grew angry when he entered the locker room and realized the team gave his old locker to Taurean Prince, who was acquired in a blockbuster trade Wednesday.

Sources said Porter, whose locker was moved to the wall where the younger, end-of-bench players reside, began yelling and at one point threw food.

Sources said general manager Koby Altman came into the locker room and confronted Porter, and the player remained combative with his boss. The Cavs spent the weekend trying to trade him.

Wish we had James Harden. Say what you want but he is better than CJ.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

I mean there's 450 players in this league...they've got to be closing in on herd immunity right?

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Dennis Scroeder is a lot better now that he gets Laker calls

 

[AldoTrapani]

We could had this guy but Zach Collins weak ass

 

[Cugel]

Wish Portland had Draymond.

 

[handiman]

The more pressing question is, who could we have drafted instead of you?

 

[OneSport3]

Wish Portland had Draymond.

Wish Portland had James Harden.

 

[Minstrel]

Wish Portland had James Harden.

Wish Portland had Draymond.

Wish Portland had a lot of guys. We're lucky to have Dame, but the rest...eh. Just have never been able to find that ideal partner star.

 

[Shaboid]

What's been lost in all the injuries this week is that Dame was named an NBA player of the week. Haven't seen any post about that but maybe I missed something.

Read that this morning. Gonna have to happen about 4 or 5 more times in the next 6 weeks to keep them afloat.

that's because the GM isn't looking, convinced that CJ is that star. Settled for mediocrity

 

[THE HCP]

We need a center?

 

[Rastapopoulos]

We need a center?

Yes, so we shouldn't get him.
(Don't make me make my "Steal my sunshine" joke again.)

Moses Brown getting some run with OKC

 

[Chris Craig]

We could had this guy but Zach Collins weak ass

Eh, if we drafted him his leg would have fell off

 

[James lamphear]

Bam doing great but he didn't shine until his 3 year though. We really don't know how good Zach 3 year would due to he was hurt all year. Plus both guys are in different system too. Do you think Bam would have those numbers playing beside Dame and CJ I don't hell he would probably would still be backing up Nurk. Some would say he could play the 4 I don't not in Stotts offense system.

 

[SheedSoNasty]

Moses Brown getting some run with OKC

I miss the days when I knew every player on every team. I looked at OKC’s roster the other day and didn’t recognize like 10 names.

 

[Hoopguru]

I see where the NBA is thinking of vaccinating players as a public service announcement!
I figured they'd find a way to cut in line.

 

[AldoTrapani]

It feels like yesterday when there was Dame mvp talks lol

Dame just got Western Conference player of the week. This MVP talk changes weekly until the half way point of the season.

The churn is real. I guess the positive side of it is that many more players get chances these days and probably some players that would never have had a chance to prove themselves as NBA players in the past get to do so now.

You've already posted this opinion 5 times this week. I'll take Western Conference Player of The Week all day every day.
