    It'd be great to have that off our bench,

    Meh. I don't see anything to complain about regarding the way the game has been called.

    Like i've said, a poor team with no real offensive game is a better suit for Barton who doesn't play NBA basketball... it's street ball.

    He wasn't a fit for our offense. He wouldn't do that most nights.

    We're ahead at the half, that's winning, not losing

    It would be fine if the refs allowed us to play that physical on the other end. Call it equally and all is well

    I think it's equal and fair. Like I said - no complaints about the calls. We're not getting hosed, SAN isn't getting gifts, it's been a well officiated game thus far.

    Well, in the literal sense, no it isn't. Since it doesn't actually count as a win. But, I digress.

    Cool. He's in the right offense. It isn't our offense. He gets free reign to shoot and gets to play in garbage time for a non playoff team.

    He was not meant for this team.

    Does our offense really accomadate him? It doesn't. Stotts like controlled aggression. Passing. Two things Barton doesn't have.

    Denver plays run and gun. Portland plays efficiency offense. Barton doesn't fit in that style

    It's really not that hard of a concept, y'know?

    What is it about Denver's offense that is different than ours?

    No way. They let San Antonio get way too physical in the 2nd - changed the game. The blatant no call when Baynes bodied Dame for example.

    You do understand that you can "body" players, right? Getting bodied isn't a foul.
