Rivers and Morris are both really good players that I would love to have as our backup PG (I realize Austin plays both guard spots). They're both hard nosed and can score in multiple ways and while neither is the most dynamic passer, both can facilitate an offense.

Dude Rivers was just on the waiver wires stop

Yeah, earlier this season you called a trade idea of CJ for him and Randle a bad one for us... so please continue to tell me about how bad he is as he continues to disrupt our offense and hit timely jumpers against us.

This was the very beginning of the season and I'm pretty sure you were one of the people that was not down with that. I started posting that trade idea in December, right at the beginning of the season and was still posting about it after CJ's injury.
 
Is it weird that role players like Hardaway Jr, Finney-Smith, Brunson, Monte Morris, Rivers, Royce O’Neil can step up in the playoffs and help their stars while we have a 29M guy, a player nickname Beast who can’t play consistent playoff basketball. Just blows your mind.

Why would you not record it. Get home from work, sit down and watch, skip commercials and be caught up at the start of the 3rd. Thats the ONLY way I watch ANY sporting event.

Perez is totally full of shit:

* 4:00.0 Shooting foul by J. Nurkić (drawn by A. Gordon)
* 4:00.0 C. Anthony enters the game for J. Nurkić
4:00.0 A. Gordon misses free throw 1 of 2
4:00.0 A. Gordon misses free throw 2 of 2
3:57.0 Defensive rebound by D. Lillard
3:49.0 Turnover by C. Anthony (out of bounds lost ball)
3:31.0 A. Rivers makes 3-pt jump shot from 24 ft (assist by N. Jokić)
* 3:03.0 Turnover by A. Gordon (bad pass; steal by R. Covington)
2:37.0 N. Jokić makes 2-pt jump shot from 9 ft
2:01.0 N. Jokić makes 2-pt hook shot from 6 ft (assist by M. Morris)
* 1:21.0 N. Jokić misses 3-pt jump shot from 23 ft
0:52.0 Personal foul by R. Covington (drawn by N. Jokić)
0:52.0 N. Jokić makes free throw 1 of 2
0:52.0 N. Jokić makes free throw 2 of 2
* 0:18.0 Turnover by A. Rivers (lost ball; steal by D. Lillard)
0:12.0 Personal take foul by C. McCollum (drawn by M. Morris)
0:12.0 M. Morris makes free throw 1 of 2
0:12.0 E. Kanter enters the game for R. Hollis-Jefferson
0:12.0 M. Morris makes free throw 2 of 2
* 0:00.0 M. Morris misses 3-pt jump shot from 49 ft

so, Nurk fouls out with 4 minutes left in regulation. Denver has 8 possessions after that. They only score on 4 possession while the Blazers were able to "close out' defensively on the other 4 possessions, including 2 steals

Denver scored 9 points on those 8 possessions and 6 were scored by Jokic. Yet, the Blazers were left with RoCo and Melo to try and defend Jokic because Kanter can't. And that's the fault of Stotts? Sure looks like more of a roster construction problem to me

HA! Thats my biggest task each night. Guys in the studio will always talk about other games that I’m recording at home. Drives me nuts.

its impossible. too many people texting. too many tweets, etc etc. need to turn my phone off and not get tempted to check the scores. way too difficult
 
Holy shit, just noticed Dame is averaging 9.6 assists and 1.4 turnovers this series for a A/T ratio of 6.8. That is just absurd. 40% assist rate as well.

Everyone is talking about how the Blazers can't survive defensively without Nurkic. The bigger issue is how they've not been able to survive offensively without Dame. That's a complete failure of the other guys considering the offensive talent we have.

What do you expect? We have not had a legitimate backup PG for the last 5 years.
 
Hey guys, good news. Dame was voted as one of the best teammate. A lot of players will sign with the Blazers next season to help him now.
