I don't think Dort's ceiling really changed that much this year but the odds of him being a good 3 & D improved a lot. His floor is way higher than it was too.

No other player playing like they are future all stars is quite weird...won't complain :lol:

We’re going to mess around and win this game.

Portland could really use Horford.

Several teams could really use Horford. I know he's old and overpaid but his style is perfect for the Modern NBA. Most fans are really overstating his ''terrible contract'' because of a bad season in a team that was a terrible fit with him (Embiid/Harris/Horford line up is a disaster)

Roby deserves more of Bazley’s minutes. Besides winning too much, bazley has been the biggest disappointment of the season for me.

No Horford tomorrow. SGA coming back? We are kind of stupid so I guess it's probable.

I have mixed feelings about Bazley. I'm happy he showed sometimes what he's able to achieve but yeah overall he ends up failing...really weird. I'm still really high on him though

I’m not giving up on him but he has way too many poor shooting nights like this. I have a hard time seeing a lineup with Dort and Bazley together having enough spacing to be good. That doesn’t even factor in Poku. He had another nice performance tonight, 0-7.

Should I check if Poku attempted a free throw? :-?

Can't wait another year. Presti needs to draft well this time.

Can’t figure out what Bazely is supposed to be. Paul George or Al Horford or Lamar Odom or who?

I see that he’s got skills in all these areas, but I don’t know what direction he’s headed.

He shows great flashes though.

Sometimes I feel he could be a worse version of Sabonis (less BBIQ and passing ability). But then he starts playing like **** so...who knows

Maybe Diallo will start doing a Sabonis impression soon

Feel more like a Dion Waiters impression coming from Diallo but who knows :lol:

I dont know if Dort will ever become a reliable three point shooter but the way he attacks the basket has a lot of value.

Was I the only one who saw Dort post up Lillard in the first half and be like, wait, post ups, why didn't I think of this before? There's not a guard in the league as strong as this guy.

Stands to reason that he can be more reliable driving and posting up than shooting roof grazing threes. He still has drives where he looks like he gets shot in mid air but he is so much improved over last year.
