Damn talk about a brutal beat-down I think we are seeing this team evolving into a better one overall right before our eyes. The way the Blazers are handling teams they used to struggle with is just a massive improvement in the Lillard solo era. They brought it hard defensively and obviously offensively the team was firing on all cylinders they seem to be committed to moving the ball around at this point.

This also isn't the first team to face getting blown out against the Blazers the Sixers came into town and they really struggled against Portland.

Jeremy Lamb is still in the NBA.


He's actually averaging 15/6 with a 16PER so he's doing pretty okay. Just kinda a weird player.

I saw that too. Kinda mind boggling.

I wonder if Charlotte would accept Lamb, their frp and salary filler for CJ?

It is kinda astounding to see what a bad year from 3 point land can get you from fans. I am glad fans don't make roster decisions.

I mean there is a reason why McCollum and Lillard's contracts end the same season. If we got rid of him for peanuts why would Lillard even bother playing here?

And, the season is not over. CJ could finish the season with a respectable 3-pt percentage since he is an awesome 3-pt shooter.

that's bunk

the criticisms of CJ from a lot of Blazer fans, and there are a lot fans criticizing, have very little to do with a 1 year variation in his 3 point FG%....

....and have a lot to do with black-hole habits, lousy defense, and the facts that he's in the top-20 in the NBA in salary and contract, but he can't crack the top-100 in PER or TS% or eFG% or assist rate or winshare/48 or box plus/minus or value over replacement or real plus/minus. Basically, overrated and overpaid

He was giving you the benefit of the doubt. CJ is having an off year at the 3-pt line. His defense, passing, and willingness to pass are fine.

Suns look good tonight. And, they are supposed to be the only bad team in the west.

Was at the game and Hd good seats. Section 110, row H. Got to touch the game ball (yep, it passed through my section prior to tip off), got on the jumbo tron when the row in front won the DVD, and managed to grab 2, yes 2, t-shirts. WooT! Have never done any of those things in all the years and here I did it at one game.
