Nah. Waste of a classical beauty. But motivation to check this thread, so trade-offs.

Shaedon :).

I really hope we don't trade him this summer unless it's in a mega package for someone like Embiid.

The non call when Dame was knocked to the floor and the tech Dame received seems to have fired up the Blazers.

I'd like to see Sharpe be more aggressive and take the ball to the hoop rather than settle for the outside jumowrn he needs to take care of the ball when driving in traffic. Loved that alley oop dunk!

No, leave Lillard on the bench! Why isn't Eubanks playing?

That Sharpe dunk was unbelievable. Is he the best athlete to ever wear a Blazers uni?

I hate Chauncey Billups so much. We could have been starting Sharpe AGES ago, why do it now and let him blow up and get some wins when playoffs are out of reach?

Is this Lillard's last game of the season?

Clyde 2.0? I don't know but I dont want him traded as even a second all star puts us not close to a title

I'm okay with the win just because we're going to have some tossups and also this win was in a great Shaedon game! Career high! Look at him filling up the stat board too!

We need Shaedon minutes for the rest of the year!

I know many (most?) of us are rooting for ping pong balls, but it's good on a human level that Portland gets some wins here and there even if they don't make the playoffs --- I don't want to see the players feeling completely demoralized.

Some nice things:

Lillard now will qualify for the points leaderboard, and the win may improve his chances of making an All-NBA team. I think he deserves to be in it, but if Portland completely collapses and ends up with 50 losses, some in the media may exclude him from their ballot on that basis.

Sharpe got tons of minutes! This is what I want to see from here on out. Maybe he can make a run at the All-Rookie 2nd team. Seeing what he's able to do in a larger role will be good going forward.

Nurkic and Watford played great. I'm not sure whether Portland may look to move one or both of them in the offseason, but them playing well is good for morale as well as trade value.
