    Thank you Blazers. After the Duck game, having the Blazers play well was really nice.

    Random observations. DeRozan had 28 pts on 22 shots - which isn't bad. Dame had 29 on 15 shots - that is outstanding!
    Despite foul trouble, Zach still made a positive contribution. I can feel myself getting sucked into cautious optimism about the kid. :devilwink:

    Sauce came back to earth, but Curry looked OK. If they trade off having effective games, I can live with that. :cheers:

    Evan Turner is good for at least one infuriating play a game but I’m loving him in his new/old role and he deserves credit, as does Olshey for building around him.

    Let's hope we have money to sign him. Dame is looking at a very big paycheck if he keeps playing at this level.

    They just look very beatable to me, maybe it’s because all “the greats” are gone now but LMA and Derozan scare me more in my fantasy league then they do in real life. I just don’t like the make up of their team, they seem to be in transition but wanna still stay competitive.

    He was making shots tonight, but his consistency on that end will dictate how far he goes in the NBA, even if he’s just a 14-15 ppg scorer his defense is already really good, thatd make him a cery good starting pf or center.

    Vegas isn’t letting a star go as soon as they get a team!

    Yeah, I think they’d look better with Murray running the show, but they would still have 3 point shooting problems.
    I think they know Pops gonna go in a year or two and they dont want him to leave on a bad note.

    Very nice game to watch and if our bench keeps being consistent like this we could be a pretty damn good team afterall.

    FUN SHTUFF! DAT WAS FUN SHTUFF!

    It seemed like all cylinders were firing, but actually, Stotts simply played his strengths and underplayed his weak points. It took him years to learn his assets and liabilities.

    But...the TV show was TOO happy. Paul Allen was mentioned very early, then forgotten.

    If Houston’s D is as bad as it appears to be we could be looking at the 2 or 3 seed. I think the Pelicans and us are gonna finish higher than people expected. That’s my 2 games in homer pick.

    I'll be disappointed if we don't start 5-0.
