    So much for the theory that it was a Dame/Stotts strategy.

    To outscore a team by 21 points from three (while shooting a great %) and still lose by 13, is a bad bad sign!

    good to see Chauncey having fun after his team's 8th straight loss. Everyone sure does love Billups.

    Blazers didn't lose by 20, this was great action, lots of highlights (mostly for Phoenix).

    I haven't seen any indication that's the Blazer plan even though a lot of fans are calling for it

    Camara played 40 minutes tonight. He was guarding Book, he was guarding KD, he was guarding his own teammates. The new rookie is incredible.

    Ayton and Nurkic battled to a draw

    I'm not sure but I'd think that was Portland's best shooting performance from three so far; 45.2%. But losing the rebound battle to the Suns, 38-30 isn't encouraging

    sadly, I think this is Portland's worst team since the 2005-06 team went 21-61. I'm beginning to wonder if this team will hit the 20 win plateau

    Shape just doesn’t have that killer drive that can’t be taught.

    Phoenix shot 96% from the charity stripe. 27-28 is impressive. The Blazers did good in FT's, 17-20, 85%

    Any updates on Matisse? I saw him leave the game with a stinger. Just a funny bone hopefully.

    Anyone ever seen 4 teams with at least a 6 game losing streak or longer? Wash/DET/POR/SA. Three of those have 8 game losing streaks or longer.

    It's a race to the bottom.

    He will DEFINITELY be worth it. I saw Mobley play live last week, and imagined a discount Mobley just playing free safety with Shae and a 3-D SF locking up the perimeter and DA manning the middle.

    Scoot, Shae, Sarr, and DA are all also star-quality/potential talents on the offensive end.

    Sort of a “sorry you are mad cuz I called you fat” backhanded insult. The message being DA is lazy. At least that is how I read it.
