    Won the season series with Houston. So, in the playoffs and this year, we're 6-3 against them. There's a time when it stops being luck and more about how we're just better than them.

    Batum needs to work on his passing, but if we keep getting this.... I'm okay with it.

    Beibs with BIG minutes.

    Another win? I didn't have to hear Jon Barry.

    Does this mean the Timberwolves are better than the Rockets?

    Not often you win while giving up 20 turnovers. I really hated the way the Blazers finished the game too, these guys cannot handle intense defensive pressure, they need to learn how to deal with that. We've given up many games this year by cowering against defensive pressure, trying to milk the clock, then we commit a turnover, or get a jump ball, or the refs let the other team foul.

    And I hope those refs come down with the plague. Inexusable.

    No such thing as a bad win - but they sure won't be framing this one to hang on the wall.

    I'm beginning to regret my praise of the AA deal. He and Dame do not seem to be meshing well. Both had horribly inefficient nights on offense.

    Or is it just that Oregon is warmer than Minnesota?
