    Something is off with the stadium audio in the league pass broadcast of this game. Sounds like someone didn't connect all the wires to the mics.

    I hope there is some kind of lesson here for Cronin and Billups.

    That's the other thing I don't get. How come guys who just got here can play what seems more like what we think Chauncey ball is than the guys who have been with him two years?

    Blazers: time to quit screwing around. It was slightly amusing to beat Minnesota. but just stop! Time to let Memphis build a big lead.

    shoot, pass, handles, vision and smarts. It's not hyperbole, the guy is as good as you need at PG. He was simply stuck behind a glut of highly paid guards in Atlanta.

    Cronin is the one who brought them in. Maybe he's getting suggestions from Schmitz?

    That's what I was thinking. Stotts offense worked great because Lillard ran it so well but nobody else on the team learned to create and react.

    50th pick in the draft. Who is bringing the Walker/Mays type of guys in? Is it Schmitz or Cronin??

    don't get carried away with this. Teams have no scouting reports on any of the Blazers. They don't have a clue what these guys do on the floor. The Wolves spent 48 minutes asking: "what happened?" and the Griz have spent a lot of the 1st half asking "what happened?"

    one thing that has happened is Skylar Mays. And my take is if we, as Blazer fans, had to endure 2 seasons of CJ Elleby and 2 seasons of Keljin Blevins we deserve at least one with Skylar Mays

    Sharpe leads the team in assists and rebounds (tied with Eubanks).
    I wonder if he'll get a triple double before the end of the season.

    I ws thinking today; probably if Sharpe plays as many minutes as Grant, he will out rebound him.

    We're 2-8 in the last 10 games.

    Sure, we're winning because of Billups.
