The Rockets have done an amazing job of showing how quickly a franchise can bounce back from terrible to average. I have no doubt that Sharpe/Scoot/Ayton/Simons can get us back to average. The main thing that worries me is that we wasted Dame's peak, had years of Billups coaching level play, and the end result is back to being average. But hey, Blazers score 100 and you get a free 6-piece Chicken McNuggets with a $2 purchase. Which I wouldn't eat in the first place, but the BIG IF we score 100 combined with an additional $2 purchase just seems silly. Better off using that money buying nosebleed seats for free tickets for Boys and Girls Club members.

Is what it is. DeRozan was rumored to be available for cheap. Siakam was traded for cheap. Uncle Phil was interested in ownership, and Smolinisky isn't known for cheaping out if he can win. And now instead of watching Dame with a supporting cast, I have the option of watching Fred VanVleet put up 30 on us.s Except no. Root TV contract. Can't even hurt myself if I tried.

Will still continue to watch the highlights. But that's sadly because they're under 2 minutes these days with both the talented and up-and-coming players being out. Apologies to players like Duop Reath. I am sure you are a cool dude and I'd gladly have a beer with you. But you aren't the draw Dame was.

Thanks for the GLBs, B-C.

Is that an all-rookie starting lineup Portland played? I wonder how many times that has happened!

According to the announcers it is just the third time in 50 years(not certain if they are including Saturday's game where it also occurred).

Camara's play since returning in FEB has been quite a bright spot IMO -

22 games, 61% TS, 9ppg, 5.3rpg, 1.6apg, 22 of 50 from 3 for 44% on super low USG of 14.5%

Shaping up to be a very legit glue guy IMO.
