So, it should be clear, by now, that Hickson was completely dogging it in Sacramento. Who had more to do with that, Hickson, or Smart?

Im noticing hes getting most of his points off pick and rolls. This team practically never runs the pick and roll and i believe Smart has stated why before. Either way hes obviously playing for his nba life right now, and the kings releasing him was a kick in the butt a young guy needs.So, it should be clear, by now, that Hickson was completely dogging it in Sacramento.

when your playing for your livelyhood anyting is possible. let me see him do this next december.JJ had two moves while he was here... The turn around 12 footer and alley oops. Now he can put up 29 and 13? Interesting

I'm pretty disgusted that Hickson has been playing as well as he has since joining Portland....
21 pts, 9-10 shooting in 26 mins against OKC, then 12 pts 6 reb, on 6-10 shooting against NOH. Now Tonights 29pt 13 reb game... Was he purposely trying to suck in order to leave or is Portlands system just getting more out of its players.
Don't care at all about JJ. He basically stepped into the 2011 Cavaliers again with the imploding Blazers. The Blazers can feature him as their big man while Aldridge is out. When he isn't the center of the offense, he blows.

No Lamarcus and the fact that their third big man is 60 years old and their only other option is Thabeet (who by the way is playing worse than Hassan) means that his production was inevitably going to rise.
Hickson BLOWING up in Portland right now.
Where was this guy all year?? He leaves, and then gets 29 pts and 13 rebounds for the Trailblazers!!

He's playing for a contract on a team that openly went into full tank mode.

I saw some highlights of him the other night just throwing down dunks over guys like crazy. I was like, where the heck was that when he was with us?
I'm sure Portlands situation is helping him alot...but im pretty sure he was sandbagging it with us.
Why would he be sandbagging it with us? Not sure I follow the logic. What would his net gain be? To go to a team whose future looks dimmer than ours right now? Not saying your wrong, but it doesn't make sense to me.

All he did was that turn around fade away jumper, and drop passes.
He obviously has talent, but clearly he didn't fit here. Time to move on.
