    I like the hustle, but this is summer leagueesque. Patty getting trigger happy. Don't really mind it too much, but he needs to run the offense more.

    It's weird watching the Blazers being this up tempo. It's like I'm watching another team.

    LMA really does look like a new man: making quick reads, really decisive with the ball, playing with a ton of confidence.

    Our bench is playing out of their mind. The productivity is way above their supposed talent level. Maybe it's the Rockets' below-average D?

    Plus: hitting a high percentage of his shots
    Minus: 8 shot attempts and 1 dime.

    I'm totally happy that he's finding a way to contribute, but I'd like to see him be a little more judicious with getting his own shot and actually see him set the offense.

    That was definitely an annoyingly-timed timeout by Nate. What a buzzkill.

    If anyone needs evidence of our coach being anti-uptempo, they need to watch that play.

    We needed a timeout, but Nate just broke up a 4 on 2 fast break.

    I don't reckon that's a knock on Mills though; it's the offence we're playing, so any criticism should be directed at Nate.

    I'm sure Nate would drag Mills in a heartbeat if he was unhappy.

    Aldridge's transformation into LaMonster is startling. Dude is a completely different player.
