    Clutch fans already joining the Portland bandwagon:

    1). "If Portland could do us another solid, then I would consider the Lillard/Roy shots water under the bridge between bros."

    2). "Warriors haven't really been dominating these games. Play them physical & they fold.

    Blazers game will be interesting, Warriors might want revenge. This is the only game I can see them losing in the next 3.

    I can't see KAT scaring anyone inside, he's pretty soft."

    3). "Illlard and co have no shame in asking for accolades(all star this year)"

    4). "Lillard is playing well and major kudos to Portland for really getting on track. They do not deserve to be mocked nor ignored."

    I'm honestly trying to think back to a Free Agent who walked, that upset me...
    I'm sure there probably were some, but I can't think of any off the top of my head.

    It wasn't so much losing Aldridge the player... I hated losing Aldridge the asset. I wanted to trade his ass a few years before he became a free agent.

    When viewed in that light it almost makes me want to throw the game. Almost.

    Yeah - anything that would have shortened his tenure here would have been great.
    But I really AM trying to think of a FA we lost that hurt.

    Interesting stat TNT just shared: Since trading for Blake Griffin, the Pistons have only beaten teams that are on the 2nd half of a back-to-back, as the Raptors are tonight.

    Brian Grant. I know it was officially a 3-team sign and trade that netted us Kemp (ugh), but the reason we lost him is because he was a free agent and Whitsitt didn't want to pay him what MIA was offering.

    I wouldn't have paid him what he got from Miami either.

    Dillon Brooks went off for 20 points in the 4th quarter. All we had to do to get a fucking small forward was draft a player in Eugene. :banghead2:

    Dillon is getting a good run in Memphis. I was really hoping we would land Brooks or Bell.

    Pretty good jinx you place there. So far, you're 0-2 with the NOP game (the one that really matters most) not looking good either.

    The CLE & ORL games are still too early to tell yet

    Edit: you ended up 1-4 for the night...not a whole lot of breaks for Blazer fans

    I bet Malone gets fired if they miss the playoffs. He’s been.... not good. That roster has too much talent to me missing the playoffs.
