Yeah Hughes looked pretty awful tonight. he's been doing absolutely nothing for Portland despite being given decent minutes. fair to say that performance in Toronto was probably an anomaly

Portland’s garbage unit? I mean the whole team was a garbage unit. Those guys were not benchwarmers coming in cold like our crew and it’s not like the outcome was ever in question.

Fair point. They played much better after I posted that.

This is something I've really noticed recently. The lineup of Gobert and Conley plus three bench players that used to completely dominate, has been really struggling lately.

Glad I missed this game. Elijah Hughes seems like he really is ***.

Maybe the NBA should have a forfeit options for games like these. It would be a real tragedy if someone got hurt playing in a game like this. You could still have the scrubs scrimmage, loser buys pizza or something.

I guess it was good to see NAW play a little, although it's hard to take anything away from garbage time.

If it can be done, Quin will find a way.

We don’t have to. Up 50 at halftime with 24 more to play? Too risky for this coach I tell ya!

 

[Isaiah 1:13]

Sometimes I think Whiteside just forgets he's playing basketball, then he's like "oh yeah, I'm on the court right now" and does something stupid.

He’s the new Javale McGee! Shaq would put him on Shaqtin a Fool but he’s legitimately afraid of him

Nah. We will lose at least 2 that we should win, and vice versa (here in red). And 2 of the others will be wins. Something like this, going 7 and 4:

spurs W
kings W (L)
bucks L (W)
bulls L
clips L - Win
Knicks W
nets L - Win
Celtics L
hornets W (L)
mavs W
clips L (W)

Portland has such a sorry roster.

It was nice to see Forrest outplay Conley.

And I think Juancho deserves some actual minutes. This dude is intriguing. He runs the floor well and can shoot.
