    I am cool with CJ and Leonard coming off the bench. We need that energy. Rolo is due. I would still start him. If he struggles then start the 2nd half with Joel.

    As for Frazier.......part of me says we have nothing to lose by playing him. And part of me says he will get abused by the refs just because he is a no name rookie. Beno is crafty at drawing fouls, but he is also killing Blake so let Frazier harass him for a few minutes in the 2nd qtr.

    Maybe it is just me but we need these guys scoring for us off the bench. We need to rely on LA, Dame, and Batum to keep us close in the game and than hope CJ and Meyers do there thing off the bench. Otherwise who is going to score off of our bench? IMO that would be disastrous but than again minus tonight this series has been just that so who knows.

    Oh no, they're playing 48 minutes a game from now on until they fall over and we finally lose.

    I'd send Freeland out there to hurt some Grizzlies.

    Then again. This is Portland. We are to the NBA what OSU is to the Pac - 12.

    considering OSU's streak of 28 consecutive losing seasons from the 70's through the 90's, and Portland's streak of 21 consecutive playoff appearances from 83-03, I'd say the Blazers are basically the exact opposite of the Beavs.

    But let's not let facts get in the way of a good story...

    I was talking about the general expectations of the two programs, but whatever works.

    Bench AA. He is hurt and not providing anything. If Kaman is not healthy, probably need to keep him on the bench as well.

    Start Gee. He would have been great tonight since they were not calling many fouls. Some easy buckets would have been nice to start the second half.

    I think the minutes for ML and CJ were appropriate. If Lopez continues to slide, give some minutes to Freeland.
