    Biggest moron decision: Starting meyers in the 2nd half.

    Stotts knows how to kill momentum.

    Man. So many Pat, Vonleh and Meyers are just not NBA worthy. It's obvious. They won't be on the team next year.

    I think that Damian Lillard has an injury we don't know about. I'm his biggest critic as you guys surely know by now but at this point I think it's more than just a slump. I would not be surprised if something surfaces either later in the season or once the season is over. I've never seen him struggle like this.

    Hey HCP. How about some Pink Floyd once in a while. "Money" would look good on the replays....

    He is trying to do too much. None of the baskets he is getting are easy. Teams are loading up and preventing the straight line drive and he is being forced into contested step backs and tough leaning 3s off high on ball screens.

    I figured out Nard's value to NBA teams.
    Play him and he improves your ability to tank 10 fold.

    Lillard should sit the rest of the season. Let's tank and draft a star.

    Well we know he injured his left index finger badly early in the season--along with a severe ankle sprain. Not to mention I'm sure his plantar fasciitis is acting up too by this time of the year.
