    Impressed with Iguodala. He takes what the defense gives him. Which, in this game, is anything he wants. But he's scoring a lot on little hooks and whatnot.

    Their end-of-bench scrubs (Fournier and Randolph) > anyone on our bench.

    Exactly. Might as well just shoot if nobody you pass to can catch, dribble, or shoot the ball.

    these threads are threadbare, no surprise, however looking at the 11 pick and even a shot at the 10

    I would have posted, but my dad's in the hospital, so I missed most of the game.

    So ... exactly who was Lillard supposed to be a true PG for today? Claver? Barton? Hickson? Leonard? Babbit?

    I'm amazed the Blazers scored 109, frankly, considering they were missing LMA, Matthews, and Batum.

    Considering much of the Blazer bench was starting today, that's not saying much.

    He ended up with 30 points and yet again played a million minutes.

    Amazing things you can do with a 70ft putter.

    Ultimately works out best case scenario, IMO. Blazers played tough, scrapped back into it, made it close, got young guys into a tight game, but still lost, while Philly and Toronto both won today, giving us an outside shot at moving up to 10.

    I've got to say that the past few games have made me feel a lot better about Barton. Dude's skinny, but he gets boards! He always looks out of control, but he isn't...always. Today's line: 17 pts (5-8, 1-2 from 3 and 6-6 fts), 9 rbs, 5 assists. 3 TOs, but I forgive him.

    I feel bad about Faried. I hope he can come back for the playoffs.

    Player of the Game: Freeland! +7 (highest, just ahead of Claver) in 7 minutes! And he was a triple-one threat - one rebound, one assist, one block.

    I hope faried comee back as well rasta. Otherwise the nuggets go from one of the funnist teams to watch to missing two key players and probably losing in the first round.
