    Barton made two perfect passes to Aldridge that he managed to screw up, too.

    No kidding. Effectively, Aldridge lost the game in those last few minutes.

    I was really impressed with Will's passing tonight. If LA had converted those shots he'd have been 2 assists away from a triple double. He sorta reminds me of Andre Miller. Not athletic, but quick and crafty. He just may develop into a decent player off the bench.

    I was also impressed with Kaman. The Blazers should consider him as a stop gap till Leonard develops. He'd be better for this team in the meantime, than Hickson.

    Matthews/Barton
    Kaman/Leonard
    LA/Claver

    Yeah, apparantly at the end of the game, it's open season on Damian Lillard's head. The Mavs got the memo.

    Well, Orlando fans and management might take objection to that figure.

    Will Barton single-handedly turned a nearly unwatchable game into one of the most fun of the year. I've always liked his energy and knack for scoring, but tonight he was so aggressive and under control, it gives me hope for a big addition to our wing rotation next year.

    Exactly! This place is so bi-polar is funny. Great game by my man Will........ but just relax. When he has 3 pts on Wednesday, everybody will be freaking out. Nice to see him get his tonight though.

    Wow, Wild Will! Hopefully a sign of things to come next year.

    He could be our 6th man spark.

    Anybody remember the jerk off session around here after Jeff Pendergraph had 20+ and 10+ in the last game of the season against the Ws a few years ago? ABout how "next season he's gonna be huge for us!"

    I never believed that about Pendergraph, he always looked like a major goon to me.

    But Barton has a shot a being a good 6th man. He has a nose for the ball, actually looks like he wants to rebound unlike some of the front line, and he can get his own shot and is a good passer. With a summer league and another year under his belt he could be good.

    Barton sucks
    He had one good game against a team that gave up in the last quarter

    He doesn't "suck"...... he's a very raw, very athletic rookie. Thanks for bringing your vast basketball knowledge and vocabulary to our forum.
