Despite Harden making ridiculous ****, DJJ had some good defense towards the end and Dame has learned to find him. Blazers wings couldn't D up last year and it was a problem. Dame also hasn't properly showed up yet.

Felt like what really hurt them last year was not having a great 3&D guy. Covington is perfect for that role. Gonna be a fun team to watch this year and really successful team this year. And with Bron being old af he chances of getting injured increase. This Blazers team has a legit shot at winning it all.

I'm so happy the Celtics didn't make a run for Christian Wood, but I'm furious we didn't even think of going after him.

Even though the Knicks had bigger game in their sight, the last 2 FA years saw a lot of good younger guys entering their peak that ended up moving. Not sure that’s a trend that will continue.

I kept calling for this. And only 3 years/$41M. :noway:

It is true, I wanted Jerami Grant more, but Wood is much better.

That might be true but young boy got that Atlanta energy, he ain’t gonna take **** from anyone I can just tell.

Many guys wanted Christian Wood to be the PF here but for me his best position is really playing the 5.

I have that feeling with most traditional power forwards by now. Look at Bagley, KAT, Isaac, AD, Ibaka etc.

So much ego in this Portland team. These fake stars make from time to time such a lucky shooting performance and they think are gods. Then they face defense Rondo, Jrue Holiday and Klay in playoffs and get swept. :lol:

At least Melo will have a chance to enter top 10 all time career points in that stupid team.

And he's still fat which makes it more ridiculous

He truly is the greatest offensive player of all time.

Once we drafted Obi, he made so much sense. Plus the FO seems low on Mitch.

Also our greatest victory is not trading for Westbrook.

I hope Playoff P has a career high in points today against Dallas

I disagree. He is being used like no other. KD and Kobe are/ were better.

If we pretend Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Allen Iverson, Kevin Durant, Kareem Abdul Jabbar and Wilt Chamberlain don't exist, surely he might be a solid option for having a spot in top 5.

I gotta apologize to you and HEZI. Wood is nice.

Am still happy with the new and improved Randle though :lol:

I find it pretty cool that you keep rooting for him. He seems like an okay dude simply judging by his demeanor and temperament. He's just not a fit here.
