    That Clingan guy is giving tall white centers a bad name.

    Yeah they should both be starting!

    I don't get why a bunch of people were posting for Scoot to come back in at crunch time, his passes were off by 15 feet.

    We should move Ant to the bench when he comes back, but maybe it's not Scoot who should be starting in his place.

    Bench role is best for Scoot until he can eliminate the dumb mistakes.

    Banton is reinventing himself from a known chucker to a solid piece.

    Unacceptable. We only cheer for losses here.

    They will get back to their losing ways like they are supposed to. Just a small 2 game bump in the road. Lots of season left to lose!

    Interesting stat:

    Donovan had more blocks tonight than DA has all season.

    If Donovans stats tonight were his only stats for the season, he'd *still* be 3rd on the team in blocks.

    After tonight, DC is averaging 2 blocks a game.

    No, Camara is ahead of Scoot as the 3rd piece.

    Scoot/Sharpe/Clingan younger than Camara, I believe. They’re on the glasses and they’re who Joe has said he is building around.

    Shaedon Clingan and Toumani are the clear future. Everyone else is up in the air but those 3 are clearly the dudes

    Stewart comes off the bench for the Pistons right now and I wouldn't mind him in that role here. He stretches the floor on offense and moves well. I guess you could play both but obviously the 6'8" guy would play the 4 and the 7'2" guy would play the 5 in those instances.

    WABC in his case = Wicked-Ass Blocking Center.

    Absolutely this. If the team's good enough, you don't stunt winning culture.

    I don't see them in the play-in round. Just too many inconsistencies to overcome in a tough conference that will result in losses. But I ALWAYS look for growth and good habits, and I saw plenty of both the last two games.

    Clingan/Timelord are the best Blazers bigs since Sabas/Sheed/Grant
