Nassir Little is starting to look really good for this team, in a few years he could be a big part of this team.

Portland's gotta try to win the games against easier opponents before CJ and Nurk get back.

I mean with how poorly they are shooting from 3 point range, they are lucky that Timberwolves didn't lead a good chunk of the game. Portland relies pretty heavily on the 3 point shot and when that is not falling the game gets a lot tougher.

Now if they could play more reliable defense then that 3 point shot would not become as necessary.

Whew! It wasn't pretty, but I'll take it! Props to Melo for hitting lots of huge, momentum-breaking buckets.

I agree 100%. I would say Little would be getting ALL of Hood's minutes if we didn't need his playmaking with no back up PG. Don't get me wrong Ant is going to special but it needs to be as a Super Version of Jordan Clarkston... Not a poor man's (bigger, faster,longer, freak athlete)Trae Young. I'll throw out a trade idea:
Hood and a (highly protected)2nd
4
Frank Nikitilina
Taj Gibson

Blazers win a game where they shoot an overall worse % and a worse % from 3. Luckily this was against the T-Wolves I think 75% of the league would have won this game by double digits if given the same scenario.

Trent Jr needs to start shooting 40%+ from 3 point range again. this 31% he's been shooting isn't helping the team. He's missed a number of wide open 3's and he used to be money in those situations. I'm liking what I'm seeing from Little. I agree, he should get Hood's minutes and maybe he will once CJ returns and starts running the point with the bench unit. Someone is going to lose out when that happens and it should be Hood. I'd see if Nerlens Noel is available and move Hood, Elleby, and cash for him and Ntilikina.
