Game 37 | Portland Trail Blazers (19-17) @ Cleveland Cavaliers (24-12) |Tuesday 2nd January 2018

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Were you impressed with Mccollum today? He is a higish usage player with questionale impact imo. I don't think he is worth the Brooklyn pick man.

We have IT, Lebron, Wade and Love... all of them require somewhat high usage. Portland only have Lillard, and yet Mccollum still doesn't have all-star impact.

I suppose my answer would depend on whether McCollum is willing to play a role or not. I think he’s an elite scorer that would feast with the guys he’d play with here. I admit to not knowing a lot about his personality. If he’d accept a different role here, then I believe he’d 100% be worth the continually diminishing in value N.J. pick.
 
If we add one more piece, perhaps a McCullum type at 2 guard- cavs are right there with them. I truly believe that. What I don’t truly believe is that we will be able to add such a piece. But I just believe that if we somehow could... look out.

If we make a blockbuster - maybe. We have a bunch of pieces who don't help us much, but COULD help someone ELSE much more: JR, TT, Shump, Rose, Zizic. Combined with the Nets pick, it SEEMS like one or more of those guys could bring us a quality big. HOW quality? It's hard to say. Anyone from Dewayne to DeAndre, though I still dream of Rudy or Boogie. That guy still has to get integrated, in half a season.
 
I got major wood from the Bench Mob, in the 4th (can I say that?).

Tied at 91, they went on a 20-3 run, over the next 4 minutes.

That was mostly IT+Wade+Korver+Green+TT. Bron came for IT, at the 8.10 mark, with the score at 103-91 (corrected). We traded baskets for a while, before Green FTs, and a TT lay-up made it 115-97, with 5.50 left. Bron left at 5.10, after getting his shit swatted by Zach Collins.

Of course, a big part of our run was Harkless, Lillard, and McCollum starting to brick everything in sight, and Wade doing his best impression of Elastigirl, and grabbing every single loose ball, over a period of 5 minutes.

The idea of starting IT+Bron+Crowder/Green+Love+Another Big, and bringing in Wade+Korver+Crowder/Green+Cedi+Another Big, is going to give me an erection lasting WAY longer than 4 hours...
 
I absolutely love how deep this team is. When everyone is back and this team is playing to their full capacity, that is going to be scary.

IT was awesome. I was worried he would get hit and tighten up but he got hit real quick and bounced back up. I was pleasantly surprised at his offensive game tonight and I cannot wait to see this team's legit starting lineup.

It seemed as if the whole team got a boost from seeing IT out there. Very cool, very entertaining game and a more than nice debut for IT.
 
Is Jeff Green going to be starting when we get around to the playoffs?

He should be playing more minutes depending on the matchup. He will be crucial against GS and other teams. He and Wade are great together defensively. With some spacers they are really hard to stop.
