    it's funny to think that with as awesome as Howard is shooting (in the 1st half) at the FT, he's still shooting 50% for the year.

    Wesley is what he is, a steady enough starter (when he isn't hobbled by a torn ankle ligament for half a year). I hope he has a nice year.

    Anyone else notice that Nolan Smith doesn't look any more athletic than 38 year old Steve Nash? He's like Steve Nash without the shooting, passing, saavy, and ability to run the offense.

    Wes is above average for a starting SG. Not a star, but a solid role player.

    It's his first NBA game, we have no idea what his biggest weakness is yet. And the turnovers thing, is just part of the territory with rookie point guards.

    That would be fucking hilarious if that was really Paul Allen in the Ronald McDonald costume.

    And he's playing exactly like I thought he would outside of the Phoenix offense.

    I like the pace

    But if it turns into playing like the GSW, no thank you.

    I like some defense to go with my offense.

    I kind of wish Paul Allen was a little more quirky eccentric, instead of nerdy eccentric, and did shit like that.

    Not David Wu weird, but Bud Clark weird.

    He's also not surrounded by shooters

    Channing Frye was his center for crying out loud. Big difference between him and Dwight Howard.

    I just realized something. Raymond FatOne is no longer desecrating a Blazers uniform and filling up half of my screen. I'm so damned happy.

    I wish this game wasn't blacked out on NBA TV.

    Nash leaving only helps the Lakers IMHO. His role isn't well defined right now.

    Kaleb Canales must be so confused right now.

    "So this is what a real Blazer game looks like."
