    Who else out there has been called "The Future"? Because I heard Mike & Mike call Lillard The Future and I *LIKE* it.

    Nah, he should be called "The Present" because he's already producing as a rookie and he's like a "gift" from God.

    I know it won't happen but a Lillard/Shabazz backourt with Batum and Aldridge is such an awesome team. Too bad I'm dreaming.

    How's this grab you? Meyers Leonard hit an 18-footer and we happen to win by two... Leonard is the MVP! :D

    Exciting game, exciting finish! Whea! Lots of action. Man I'm glad we got rid of Nate. This is the fun that the other cities have had all these years.

    Great tidbit from Lillard in a postgame interview: Stotts doesn't run termination plays that have to be run as-setup. He sets up read-and-react plays. That's how you get Lillard and Batum abusing the pick and rolls, and setting up LMA when neither saw anything they liked. Trust your guards to make good decisions, and they'll reward you. Stotts is a breath of fresh air.

    I thought "the gift" was taken? Most people refer to it as herpes, no? Usually in sarcastic terms, but still...

    Here are the updated stats through 9 games. Batum is stuffing the stat sheet and shooting well from everywhere.

    Top Performers:

    Houston: J. Harden 29 Pts, 6 Reb, 6 Ast, 3 Stl
    Portland: N. Batum 35 Pts, 6 Reb, 4 Ast, 1 Stl, 5 Blk

    Batum owning that new contract.

    Just got home from watching the game at Blondie's, boy was that fun! Most fun since 2011 Game 4 vs Dallas. I have three questions:

    1) why wasn't it a clear path foul?

    2) Will Wes get a flopping warning? Will he care? In big games like this, are people gonna care whether or not they get a fine?

    3) why wasn't Lillard awarded a three for his shot? There was yellow between his shoe and the three point line!!

    Batum quickly becoming the best fantasy player in the league? He must be top 15 at least?

    Officiating is your answer to all.

    If Wes gets a warning, Harden will get 2-3. One or two were absolutely ridiculous.

    If Nic keeps this up, I see him winning Most Improved. Even over Harden.
