Ah, the Lakers. They have been the Blazers most hated rival for many decades now, but I feel like they have moved to the #2 spot. The Warriors have now become my clear-cut #1 most hated team in the NBA and it's not even close. Plus the Lakers have Rui... love that guy.

I really love his energy and fast response time.

But damn the Lakers! They are trying to sabotage the stealth tank!

Lol his steals and blocks are freakish and very fun to see. You just need to hope he gets consistently better at 3s. I'm sure he'll learn a thing or two from Dame

Love the defense from Matisse. Not loving reddish who looks like he doesn't provide much but inefficient chucking... I should have my head checked for a lot of reasons, but betting on reddish scoring 12+ is definitely top 5.

Oh and Damian Lillard is really good... Probably would've been a good idea to trade for someone to help him.

If Sharpe and Reddish improve u guys should trade Simon's for another big or a long forward. What are your thoughts on Nurkic he's been bad or what?

Yeah, I think Ant and or Sharpe are game in a trade if it brings back another player of Dame’s caliber to pair him with. Don’t think it matters what position (besides PG obviously)

Sharpe has alot of potential tho

Yep, 100% correct, hence why is probably a necessity to be a part of any trade that brings back an impact player on Dames timeline.

Nurkic is great when he's on. But he can't always summon up the energy. Whether that's attitude or the fact of his sheer size, maybe a combination. I think we'd like to trade him for an equally or slightly less talented wing than he is a center.

I think we would trade Simons before we trade Sharpe because Simons although an elite shooter, Sharpe is showing the same tools and has a size advantage on him. I think we'd only trade Sharpe for a final piece (and we're many pieces off) of the puzzle or an absolute unquestionable all-nba player (in part of a package, obviously).

I think depending on how we do in the lottery, where we'll likely end up, we'll see about packaging Simons + lotto pick.

Also there's a bit of humor in watching Josh start to let loose from three in New York and Matisse do the same in Portland. Four threes tonight for them both so far.

Yeah, Thybulle is gonna be a fan favorite here in no time and is probably already a lock for the starting SF gig.

Simon's +lotto pick can fetch a very good player ya

I love Tisse man, and I'm rooting for him. I'm not sure what happened to his shooting in Philadelphia, but I always felt like his form and stroke never truly represented his ability, more-so than his wavering confidence at times. His offensive skillset off ball is underrated too. He moves and cuts so well and has a ridiculous leap and wingspan.

I hope he's awesome for you guys.

1st game away from Philly and he's having possibly his best game of his career. Just another reason why Doc should be fired man smfh
