    After the game Mark Jackson said Ellis was "under the weather", Ellis not available to the media for comment.

    There's definitely something wrong there. Early speculation from GS fans is either that MJ was pissed that he wasn't closing out on shooters or hes been traded. I would guess something more like the former than the latter, but Ellis wouldn't simply agree to sit out the final stretch unless he had a life threatening illness and if it were simply a case of Nate making some shots in the 4th I think MJ would have just said that.

    Even despite this, Mark Jackson is a fucking moron savant. How do you continually force the ball to Nate Robinson and allow him to shovel up awful shots? Not to mention leaving the tiny motherfucker in the game for crucial defensive possessions. If you allow Nate Robinson to win or lose the game for you, odds are not in your favor, just look at the shooting percentages.

    Agreed. Until 3 weeks ago, Matthews' contract was universally considered a steal. He's in a slump right now and has no confidence. I have faith in him getting his game back soon enough.

    I can't believe Felton is on the floor most of the 4th quarter. Crawford was doing a much better job tonight of balancing his shooting and distributing and it's obvious Elliot Williams is a lot better defender.
    By the way does anyone else get the impression that the reason Felton loves to stand out on top pounding the ball, is because it gives him a chance to rest??!!

    Felton played 39 minutes tonight. That's like 4 big macs he burned off.

    Felton played some nice defense tonight, and Curry and Ellis both had bad games. Hard for me to be mad at Felton tonight, considering how hard it's been for Portland to win in Oakland in recent years.

    Not necessarily a mystery with Ellis. Don't know about the Northwest, but there is a REALLY nasty "bug" going around in the Bay Area. My department has 7 people and 4 have missed extended work time, including me, and I never get sick. Ride the commuter train and you hear nonstop hacking. Kind of hard to play basketball when you can't get a full breath. I realize I'm not in NBA condition, but I got exhausted, literally, walking all of 2 blocks to the pharmacy.

    Good win and huge relief.
