    Charlotte blew us out at their house. Now we are returning the favor.

    Wow, nice active defense. And this is happening WITH Meyers in the game?

    CJ is really making an effort to play better defense and it's showing

    It's genuinely good to occasionally see a solid butt fucking. Go Blazers.

    Especially when there's one TV in the house! From a basketball perspective I can appreciate Calabro but he's certainly more of the boring/national broadcaster flair.

    You don't even listen to the team actually. You listen to Wheels. Does he say they don't care?

    There you go keep the foot to the pedal so get some younger guys in the game.

    You're right. Doesn't feel fluid. With mike and mike it felt fluid, felt personal. I could relate. They just grabbed colabro and found a cheaper option for the color commentating and threw them in. Mike and mike were established and sure, were homers but that's part of the reason blazer fans loved them. Like I said, felt Moreno personal. These two just don't grow on me

    How come some photos I post are said to be too big and others aren't. I'm just sending pics off my phone. They're all the same size.

    Classic revenge game.

    Terry said the starting lineup change was more about changing the rotation throughout the game, and so far it's working. I don't like starting a sub-optimal lineup, but when you only have 6-7 rotation quality players, it makes sense.

    It might be because you listened to the Mikes for YEARS. It will take more than a half season for them to "grow on you," I think.

    With Mike and Mike it was a little too personal. I don't think they did much to really break down the game while it was going on compared to other crews you hear on League Pass.

    Plums needs 3 points to continue his double double streak. Will he get back in the game?

    Not to mention they helped create a generation of idiot fans who reflexively blame the refs for bad calls.

    Harkless is really efficient today. Good to have him back.

    MKG is really good at pulling disappearing acts.

    I'll tell you one thing. I do like how laid back Calabro is. I can literally just put my brain on cruise control and have what he says quietly filter through. You don't have the the good stuff of Mike and Mike but you also don't have the time consuming rants. It just takes some getting used too.
