    Batum has to stop doing the hook over passes he does.

    Damian with a nice finish at the rim to end the first half.

    Hinrich came closer on that 1/2court shot than Hickson's "jump hook"

    Lillard is making me really forget about losing Roy. He is so damn smooth!

    He looked hungry for rebounds tonight. Don't know what's gotten into him. Perhaps because the Bulls drafted and then traded him, kind of like Batum against Houston last game.

    Much better defense in the second quarter. Forced them out of the paint. The reserves actually were very active.

    - Price is playing the best I've seen him as a Blazer, like a legit backup guard
    - Will Barton fails his audition for playing time, wow!
    - Once again, what the heck is a clear path call?

    -Hickson may be a good rebounder, but I wonder how much of our defensive woes have to do with him not being suited to playing the center position defensively.

    Side question: anyone know why the heck we get a Chicago network affilliate WGN? The Bulls/Blazers game is on that station with the Bulls broadcasting crew. They have their own version of "Freeze it!" but it didn't seem to be Coors Light sponsoered?

    Deng is pretty much shutting down Batum.

    FWIW

    Anyone know who is on with Wheels on the radio broadcast? It isn't Antonio Harvey.

    That last play of the half is a great example of how composed, patient, in-control, confident and aware of pace Lillard is.

    With 8 seconds in the half, he was still walking the ball up even though everybody was expecting him to be in a hurry. Then at just the right time he puts on a burst to finish at the rim at the buzzer.

    It reminded me a lot of Roy.

    he kind of spazzed out and threw up some wild shots, but at the same time looked good handling the ball so maybe not a total loss.
