    True, but I cant really fault Roy for the Houston loss. Did anyone else show up that series other than him?

    Damn. Another turnover for us. That's like 3 out of our last 4 posessions. WTF?

    Mags or Kingspeed needs to run out on the court and take one for the team.

    I hate LaMarcus's shot selection tonight.
    Why is Nate using Wallace so much tonight when he's not his normal crash self? Nate should use Batum more.

    Our guys must've had a hell of a New Year's Eve last night. Jeez, such careless ball handling

    Doesn't this counter the leadership theory?

    Not really

    Nothing to learn from shooting yourself in the face and playing lackadaisical/careless basketball.

    I think this is a good game to prepare us fans for the upcoming season on the road....this team feeds off of the home crowd and on the road that doesn't exist. The Clippers crowd is extremely dull and the blazers are playing exactly like the crowd.

    Their argument started because RoyToy said we are missing Roy as our leader. I was pointing out that while he had a great series against Houston, having the rest of the team not show up says a lot about his leadership

    I don't see much improvement in Batum's game. I thought he supposedly made strides this past summer.

    Not even Kobe could get out of the 1st round by himself, and he's a great leader.

    Sorry, not buying your theory.

    It's within reach....I suppose, but I'd still like to see Nate change it up a bit with the young guys. He needs to send a message to the vets

    oh gotcha. I guess what I meant about no one else showing up was all the missed shots from everyone who was open with the attention paid to Roy with Artest and Battier.
