    Hard to not vote Meyers, literally all his issues as a basketball player come from there.

    Another team that is struggling and here come the Blazers. When a team has lost 3 in a row and 7 of their last 10 they tend to start playing to get a win anyway they can. Those are always dangerous teams. Even more so when they have a prolific scoring SG and an All Star PG that can have a huge game at any time.
    Houston is currently in the 14th spot in conference standings but still only 6 games out of 1st place. 3.5 games behind Portland. This is an interesting stat to me because in the Eastern Conference 6 games back puts you in the 6th spot.
    The Western Conference is as tight as anyone could have expected. Only one team that is out of contention at this point. The Eastern Conference has essentially 5 teams out of the running this year.

    Blazers need to go get another win!
    Winning a game on the road should be a huge goal for this team right about now.
    Go Blazers!
    Kjironman is a fan!!!

    Swanigan is usually in good position to get difficult rebounds. Meyers doesn't do that.

    Swanigan isn't good enough to play more than a couple minutes of garbage time. Meyers is.

    I like the stat= Carmelo is no longer with the team. He is a self appointed prima donna.

    Swanigan is not a 7 footer. If Meyers was shorter, he wouldn't play.
