    Lopez is absolutely lawst!!! He's terrible so far. And Freeland shot 1-7 with 7 boards and 1 block! Why are posters excited about that?

    Obviously the biggest weakness on this team. What happens when we play good centers?! Good win on road but explain the praising of Freeland and Lopez to me.

    55 rebounds. I'm happy we got 55 rebounds as a team. I could give a shit less on who's getting them

    I'm impressed. Usually this place is quiet after wins but I'll answer. Yes, Freeland missed 6 shots but he played very good D that is not shown in the box score and he grabbed some very important rebounds. Most of all, he looked like he belonged. As for Lopez, he boxes out. How else does Wesley Matthews grab 12 rebounds? I'm gonna wait and see with Lopez. It's only two games into the season and we are .500 on the road and undefeated at home. You can't ask for more than that.

    Lopez/Freeland used their bodies well on defense. Hard fouls and boxing out. That's worth praise with this Blazers team.

    80 games to go. Let's see how it plays out, at least.

    Um, potentially because there are two sides to the court, and DEN's frontcourt went 11-38. That's 29%. That's, um, not good.

    Leonard had 2 rebounds for every minute of playing time. I'd say that's pretty damn good.

    Because not all of us deliberately try to find the downside to a 15-point road win in Denver.

    Geez, give a rest already. Your trolling is tedious and repetitive. You changed your username to get around being banned. Can you also step up and change your schtick? The only thing worse than a troll is a boring troll.

    Duckworth wasn't a big rebounder but we would lead the league in rebounds because he would box out allowing other players to rebound.

    They're boxing out for others and playing decent defense. We don't have stat hog big men and I'm okay with that.

    As soon as Stotts' replacement slides Meyers into the starting spot, all NBA records are in jeopardy. :cheers:

    Bad memories there. Blazer fans roasted poor Duck for his lack of rebounding. They never could grasp how important he was to the cause.

    lol. I didn't even WATCH the game (Listened to it on the radio) and Freeland was doing the small stuff that doesn't show up. Him in the 3rd quarter helped us grow the lead so that we had a cushion for the push in the 4th.
