    Wait....it's not the odds but it's dumb luck? Love it! :wub: Luck/odds...seems like those are somewhat related.

    But we beat SAC twice.

    This is confusing.

    Shit would be getting real. However, even with Westbrook out, I don't think we're going to win. They just play damn good at home. So, it shouldn't surprise anyone or set off the trolls (realistically), but then again, trolls don't live in reality, so that's a moot point.

    LaMarcus has always, ALWAYS been tempted to guard smaller guys. He loves to switch onto guard, double onto guards, etc. it's a habit he needs to break, because it blows up when a team has a PF/C who can drill it from distance.

    Two wins = one loss. Basic math.

    well, one thing is for certain. If they lose to OKC, after losing to Miami, it proves that...well, they need work on defense and that's something we already knew about.

    So...yay?

    Shout out to Nico for doing everything he could to win this game tonight! LaMarcus just went cold at the end.

    I'm not sure if it's just his nature or if it was drilled into being a habit because of 6 years under Nate.

    You said, "the odds caught up with them on one night." The odds are in Portland's favor, and still are. That was my point.

    If the odds are not in your favor, and you win, then we call that luck no?

    I think he wants a shot at a big block... More boring to stand around guarding some stiff.

    Damnit, everytime I hear "odds in your favor" I always go to Hunger Games. And that movie sucked.

    We can't be to hard on LA with his skull on fire and liquid diet, but I REALLY wanted him to hit that game winner. SUCKS so bad. :(

    Especially when that stiff looks like a raptor.

    I just hate to give up a three when we're up by two.... it's not a great defensive scheme.

    Maybe we should be talking to Houston about Asik. We need interior defense.

    I thought that was going in too. Wes also wishes he could do that lob over that he missed. Blazers really squandered an opportunity to beat a Jamesless Heat.

    Would Asik have stopped Bosh?

    EDIT: oh those are two different statements.
