    Good thing we gave Meyers that contract instead, huh?

    Good win team! It was ugly, but I'll take a win.

    not sure why Terry didnt go with him down the stretch, he was great defensively and was our best rebounder tonight

    I am thinking a PF who can score, protect the rim and play D. It is a pipe dream I realize

    Okay.

    One more win. Albeit they let them back in, so not really all that good.

    Still a lot to prove. 3 back to back wins in a month and a half. Unacceptable.

    Vonleh is so frickin' young...what 21 now? The dude is our PF of the future...he's way above the curve for his age..only going to get better....he plays well next to Mason

    Well, we won. Not because of good coaching or good play, but because someone had to, and Williams cooled down.

    In the 3rd quarter Plumlee and Vonleh are largely responsible for getting us a double-digit lead. Vonleh playing great on both ends of the court - offense, defense, rebounding. Then Tater Totts benches Vonleh for the rest of the game and inserts Aminu, at which point the Lakers chip away at our lead, and eventually take the lead themselves. Brilliant.

    Trade Aminu for a pick - even a 2nd rounder. I thought he'd be good as a bench player, but he's not.

    Ok, it doesn't hurt that the Blazers won, but I love listening to Bill Walton blather on and on and on.

    I think Meyers was in for a good chunk of that time when we lost the lead too. That dude is either really good for us, or really bad. Unfortunately it's like 1 good game for every 8 or 9 bad ones.

    No, he should be our starting PF. There's literally NOBODY ELSE that deserves to start at PF...well, except for Plumlee.
