    I detest Mo's game as much as the next guy, but CJ has not even come close to the equivalent of a preseason in terms of preparation. Let him get a few more reps in practice before throwing him into the rotation. You don't want him getting injured again while shaking off the rust.

    Anyone know if Nic made the 'decision' to play tonight.

    Kidding. Don't get your panties in a bunch!

    5 assists and 11 board says he was in it as deep as any team mate.
    But what the hell didn't happen?

    Ah! Needed to knock him on his arse a couple times. Yeah we need one of those guys for nights like this. The ruff and rugged defender type I mean.

    That's not what they told CJ. More rookie hazing.

    For some reason, I'm not upset. A lull was inevitable but if we win tomorrow, we're .750. I'll take that.

    How much did Lillard score in the 4th by the way? 24? 26?

    I just wish someone else was hitting, or maybe the refs weren't calling every single touch foul.

    I had complete faith they would win these last two games and am on record as saying so on the podcast. What is disturbing is their defense and lack of bench production. That isn't a knee jerk reaction as it has been that way since the beginning. It's just now that Wes isn't shooting over 50% from '3' (which any reasonable person knew wouldn't be continued) and Batum's average as fallen as well that they just don't have the horsepower to cover up that defense or hole that is the bench.

    As the team average from '3' falls, it means just one or two misses more from the arc but two more makes means wins in both of their last two games. As a team they are still just a hair under 40% but that has started to come down and the result is fairly predictable since their offense relies so much on the outside shot.
