    I am a little surprised that Memphis did not care about winning this game. I guess they want the 8th seed?

    Hell yea! I'm glad the team got the 6th spot despite possible matchups. I want the best seed possible every season; every moment. Gotta attack and never relent - it's our teams work in progress and it's good to see signs of it. Pedal to the metal. I accredit a portion of this new play style philosophy to Gerald Wallace, a smaller portion to Batum/Miller/Aldridge and McMillan, and an even smaller but substantial portion to everyone else. Now they have the potential to steamroll through a couple opponents too (especially next year).

    Roy had 5 assists in 15 minutes. What's your problem with that from your 8th man off of the bench?

    I'm stunned and thrilled we got it. The bad losses to NO and GS I thought killed our chances. That NO loss to UTA was almost as bad as our loss to the Warriors. They just didn't show up with any energy.

    As a Blazer, Earl Barron has a 104.6 PER, with a 1.684 WS/48. :lol: Go Earl!

    BTW, how pissed was Z-Bo last night? He wasn't told he was going to be sat until right before the game. You know he was thinking, "Damn, if I knew I wasn't going to play, I could've TORN IT UP last night with the HOOP Family!"

    That's like 3 prime Michael Jordans occupying one roster spot.

    Not bad. Maybe he has some room for improvement too.
