Portland's on a roll, a legit team that beat the Fakers and the Pretend-- I mean Jazz. Imagine If they had their other great player that's injured. They'd be top 4 seed in the west. GG Portland.

The only way to deal with Dame the way he played tonight is to have a Kris Dunn or Pat Beverly type commit to face-guarding him and hounding him 94 feet every minute he's on the floor. That's what you'd have to do in a playoff matchup.
Acutally, if Quin had the balls to do it, he'd play Rayjon Tucker and have him glue himself to Dame. That's what Jerry Sloan would do, imo.

We are still playing with no PF ...
Surely front office can see this.
Players beat Bojan and Joe pretty easy , get around Conley on screens with ease .. then expect Gobert to fix everything that comes at him ..
It was masked for a while with the good play of Oneal ... but he has dropped off , Davis offers you zero , to the point where I wouldn’t be surprised if they just waived him like Green .

You can't be serious. Mitchell is 23 and headed to being a top 10 player in the league in a year or two.
Mitchell has good size, strength and athleticism to more than hold his own at the PG spot. He guards 2s as well, up to about 6'7". He's not the problem.
Fuark....I mean, I'd consider it lol
Jeff Green is a zero defender. So that's not the issue. The Lillard/Whiteside pick-and-roll pulled Rudy out of position, leaving Rudy caught in-between. It's the problem the Jazz had guarding James Harden and Clint Capella. The Jazz didn't defend the pick-and-roll well tonight.
When Rudy was off the floor, guys attacked Bogdanovic and there was no help if he got beat. Ed is basically a rebounder. At least Bradley takes up space in the lane.
'sup troll.
Will the window be open in two years? Let's be cutthroat. No loyalties. And trade that bright future for a bright present.
We have a few young players who can get in, defend and play with energy. We've been so obsessed with 3-pt shooting and generating offense, that we could use another defender/rebounder/energy player on the floor

at present DM is already our best player. you can't get a better player than him in a trade, especially as he's still on a rookie contract.
Mitchell is going to be here for a long time. Gobert probably too. Bogdanovic is a solid floor spacer. Now add to that a solid 2-way wing and you have a team that wins close to 60 games per year.
If there's a problem right now with our backcourt, it's that Conley takes the ball out of Mitchell's hands, and Conley doesn't put the same pressure on the defense.
