    The selective memory that people are using with Turner is beyond ridiculous.

    CJ (1-5) and Crabbe (0-5) were your bad actors; everyone else shot 33% or better tonight. Should they never shoot threes again?

    Dame should have had 43 points tonight because of that botched continuation call in the 2nd...

    I've been impressed with how Turner, Crabbe, Harkless and Aminu have shut down second chance boards...our defense is improving...the offense will come..somehow CJ escapes the wrath around here even though he's only really heated up for a few qtrs. this season so far and seems to foul immediately after he makes a bucket everytime

    I polished off a bottle of '12 Riesling Spatlese courtesy of BG. It certainly helped......

    Dame drives to the basket now with a ferocity I've never seen before. He just knocked da' fuck out of Wes. And those tear drops are just automatic.
    He's raised his game a notch higher if that's possible.

    What I like is that he's improved a part of his game that is better for the blazers offense as a whole. By becoming an all around threat, defenses can't defend him the same way they used to.

    If he keeps this up and doesn't make the All-Star team, I swear I'll get Blazer fans to mail their snot to the league office.

    Good to see Plumlee bounce back so well from the Phoenix game. He was very active.

    So with that logic you place no more weight in the more recent data then? But I guess you're right, hardly ever do 25 year old players improve parts of their game like shooting over the course of their career!

    Watching the game again; Dame's defense was pretty good!

    I remember having a debate last year about Wes and his post up skills. My argument was that it was overrated because he seldom did it. Maybe twice a game on average. He tried it about 4 times tonight.......he was visibly frustrated that he could not impose his will on Dame down low.

    He hasn't shot many, but thats an odd comment to make about Turner since he's shooting almost 43% from 3 this season.

    That Pippen did it in only 31mins with no 3pt shots made or taken is fucking amazing.

    Seriously I couldn't agree more, have been saying this (not in this forum but in person) since CJ really started to break out. I love Crabbe, he has a lot of potential to be similar to be Lillards version of a poor mans Klay Thompson given some time and continued confidence.
