  2. I think the young guys are hungry and healthy. None of the players that earned those 2 games have been paid yet. I think Grants veteran presence does just enough to calm the troops when they get hit with a haymaker. With the emergence of Murrey and Rupert who appear to be gaining traction by the minute this team is playin bound %100….caveat being simons and ayton don't play another game for Portland. This team is learning to play for eachother and have the young legs to outlast the rest of the West for playoff birth.

  3. Ok, this trade works:
    DA to Pelicans
    BI to Warriors
    Kuminga and Wiggins to the Blazers.
    Maybe we get some picks here as well, would anyone in Blazerdom do this?

  4. No, this is the last year we need to intentionally tank. If we could grab Flagg or Bailey, that would complete this young core and we can focus on refinement after that. But no, we are 100% not too good to tank lol

  9. this team isnt too good to tank but I do like our core and where we're headed, add a young wing with superstar potential like flagg or bailey and this team is going places.

  13. They have talent. Teams should always try to win. I would quit being a fan if they quit trying to win. It’s morally wrong to quit trying. They need to work on team chemistry. They are finally discovering good combinations of players. They needed a rebounder and inside defender and found him with Clingan. It’s good for the team mentally to have some success. Their confidence is much better already. They can easily make the playoffs if they keep trying and keep improving. Duop Reath has size and can shoot. Banton is very good, Thybulle is a fantastic defender and will improve when he gets playing time. The other new center had a fantastic game so they now have talent and depth. Several other new Blazers are very good. Go Blazers!
