:mjlol: easy to say

You think Portland was willing to let Dame go 3 years ago?
Brehs piss me off on here on the open disrespect of Portland

We lost 4/5 starters, and Lillard was the only one to stay. Now people talk about trading Lillard, like :gucci:

We’re not a fukking farm team, for christ sakes. They just haven’t ever had a quality big man to hold it down defensively. I mean, Meyers Leonard is 7 feet tall and didn’t have a block all season :mjlol:

Ain’t nobody behind him that can play that position. Korver can’t be on the floor defensively that much. Calderon a corpse in sweats. Osman cant shoot. Hood maybe in theory but Lue tossed him in the bushes permanently

It’s embarrassing but it’s true. JR the best option :mjgrin:

Korver has been good defensively in the playoffs, especially on Brown, a far superior athlete. Team actually played better when Calderon was starting those games later in the season. Osman probably should get more of J.R. minutes because there is no solid explanation as to why he hasnt been used more.

I've ALWAYS said that a team that featured JR smith in a prominant role wouldn't ever win a ship. I was proven wrong in 2016, but every other year he's proven me right, so maybe 2016 was an anomoly.

in 16 he was a different player. more athleticism and better off the bounce. to me it just seems like success ruined him and TT. they seemed to gotten too "loose" in the offseasons and probably not taking complete care of their bodies and diets. defense has kept him on the floor but he even said last week, he has lost some athleticism. Hood is better offensively but he needs to give the defensive effort to justify being out there.

wasnt me, :hubie: check my receipts. when they signed Wade I said he was better than J.R. but thought he should come off the bench because he would be better with the 2nd unit. then JR was playing so bad I thought JR should come off the bench. coming in to the season tho I dont think anyone thought JR had gone down so much. I hate to down him so much because he really hasnt had a bad attitude as you may expect. he has been for the team. he just isnt that good anymore.

This isn't even JRs worst year. He's always been a WTF type player. No one was saying anything when he was Melo's best teammate, playing the exact same way. He's a streaky rhythm shooter getting less shots. What did you think would happen?
