    I'm hoping that the settling for jumpers is more of being tired on the 2nd night of a back to back, and that the offense will be more like last night.

    I don't think it's as much Nate's "offense" that is the joke, but how they execute offenses. Who is the offensive threat on the court for this team right now? They don't have one. Doesn't matter what offense you're running, if you don't have a scorer out there, you'll struggle.

    Yeah, because that would be a smart thing to do. Because in his 2nd game he's struggling, and Bayless never struggled with his defense, or shooting ability.

    I guess America loves the underdog. It is just kind of weird to see Hubie Brown so actively rooting for the Clippers. Sure, he occaisionally throws Portland a bone here and there, but how many times has he said "that's it, get it up the floor" as the Clippers run the break. I get it. The Clippers are perennial losers and it is a feel good story to see them and Griffin playing well, but not what I am used to seeing when I watch a national broadcast.

    our team sets picks as if they're afraid to get MRSA from the opponents.

    So being tied with the Clippers with 6 minutes left in the game is good? Ok?

    you'll have to forgive Hubie, he's convinced it's the Lakers who Portland is playing.

    Well, it could be worse... let's put it like that. We're playing like crap but we're still in this to win a road game.

    I'm more impressed with the offensive rebounding tonight than last night (aside from Griffin)
