    Did they, or didn't they, give up a 14 point lead they had in the 3rd?

    They won, that is what counts. But still a ton to prove.

    Well, they did prove one thing - they just suck a little bit less than the L*kers.

    In his third year he should be showing something as a lottery pick. He's still a bit behind where you would hope honestly, but he's looked OK lately. Secondly, no telling if he'll get better, but they need to find out this year.

    He started most of last year when we were playing well. I'm glad Stotts went back to that with the Philly game but stayed with it. Even though we lost, we played well in that game. Meanwhile, people were saying we hit rock bottom. And meanwhile, Philly's beating everyone.

    he started out at 18...19 maybe? Didn't get to play really much until here...I'm hyped on this kid's skillset for the price..think he's got a future here....mainly because his lower core strength is way better than any player on our roster...he's not budging...like Brian Grant or Derrick Coleman...the kid is a rock..can shoot with range...not selfish...I think he'll get better than Aldridge

    Yeah I get that Terry wanted to go with Aminu down the stretch for his experience, but hopefully little by little that will change. Vonleh just needs more experience in those situations. We need his explosiveness and strength

    I was in a restaurant in Eugene (not sure which one) and noticed "the bus" outside so I immediately looked for Ken and introduced myself. We both went to Springfield High School. Told him I had just been cast in a Broadway show.

    Von had solid game tonight. He doesn't get one play call for him and he get 8 points and 10 rebounds and solid on the defense. Plum had huge game and he had 19 and 13. That 23 Reb between our PF and center both of them was a big key to this win.

    I was a big Vonleh apologist last year, but I just don't know. I'd say the odds are still against him, but he's a got a chance. If he can become a kind of David West player that would be a huge boon to this team. He'll never be as skilled as Lamarcus though ... Maybe he can be better at some things, but he doesn't have the scoring ability and never will.
