    He was 16-29 from two point territory, I'd take that from any player in any game. The three point percentage wasn't good, but he is old.

    LOL what a joke. So self serving. Glad he's out of the league.

    That was a lot of love and appreciation from those who play and know the game. Special.

    It's fun when they are given scripts to read.

    Crabbe with a +16.

    We can start Harkless and Aminu, but Crabbe needs to get in the game as soon as possible against the Clips. (or Henderson) We need that 3rd shooter.

    He really is. When he kicked our ass with Charlotte, I thought it was our shitty D, but the guy is an all around good PG. Would not mind keeping him but I think he will have a few options next year. And since he is already 30, he needs to take the best contract he can get.

    I love Brian Roberts. I hope Portland resigns him. He's so good offensively, I wonder if any teams have taken notice.

    Nope, NO was much worse than expected, Houston was thought to be a contender a few years ago, Utah was supposed to be on the upswing, the Mavs are old and injured, the Suns went downhill, the Grizz lost Gasol for the season...

    Obviously Chris Paul is one of the best in the game and I would in no way compare Roberts to him, but, he employs a lot of the same methods as him getting into open space for easy mid range shots. Definitely a skill.
