    agree a win is a win and when you turn it over 25 + times.... you are lucky to win.

    i guess we take it but man.... we got some work to do.

    im going to sleep here on the east coast... night all! go blazers and we are 1-0!

    Wouldn't you be saying that his 6 blocks were canceled out by 7 turnovers?

    Also, the Rockets still scored on a few of the possessions in which he blocked the shot.

    Joel was a much more efficient center for us tonight.

    Fuck you. I'm on good medication and I'm very level and have been for two years. I'm just having fun in here talking about the Blazers. I went through hell for three years before I got level. For you to make a crack about my mental illness is in very poor taste in a thread about basketball. Shame on you. My respect for you goes down a peg.

    Honestly, I don't care what you think of me. When you're acting like this, you deserve people questioning your emotional state. I'm not the only one who has commented on your lack of understanding of the points they were making.

    I hate when people say a win is a win. That's fucking garbage. Depending on what we did well or not very good, determines how well we're going to do this year. So we have every right to criticize how we won against a depleted Rockets team. It wasn't good.

    We had one rusty quarter, two dominant ones and one where we coasted for a win. It was a pretty comfortable victory.

    Think about what will happen when Obamacare will be implemented and they will start rationing KingSpeed's medication? LMAO.

    Comfortable yes, but there are three concerns I have.

    - 26 turnovers

    - 3 shots for Greg Oden (McMillan part 1)

    - Substitution patterns in the clutch (McMillan part 2)

    You can't tell my emotional state based on posts in a message board. You have no sense of tone of voice or the light in which things are typed. I went through three harrowing years before I got level. I had 200 suicidal episodes. I went through absolute hell. And now, I am better. Much better. And my medication and therapy has made that happen. These posts in this thread are NOTHING. Just fun. Just chattin about the Blazers. For you to make a crack about my illness and medication over posts on a message board is really classless. You honestly have no idea what you are talking about. You don't know what I'm like it real life. You don't know my tone of voice. And you don't know what I've gone through. So please, let's keep the discussion about the Blazers and not me and my illness. Thank you.

    How do you know I lack understanding? People don't know what I do and don't understand. It's like when people claim I'm not watching the game, which I am. Or that I'm not paying attention to the defensive end, which I am.

    What was wrong with the substitution pattern in the clutch? We were up 6, he made a substitution and we won with a bigger margin. Again, where is the concern?

    I'm with you 100% on your issues. The turnovers were killing me and I'm really frustrated at the way we're using GO on offense. As for those substitution patterns, I think Nate was tinkering when we had a comfortable lead. We're going to have to figure out which groups work together well and we saw a few that were really terrible. It was a teachable quarter.

    The players don't even look for Greg as he rolls...the same problem
    as last year..maybe miller will as he is normally pretty good at dishing it on pick and rolls
