    So why only 19 pages tonight? We used to get 40 a game. Fans don't turn up for a game against Cavs? Glad the players did.

    quick scan through, shit, what'd I say, what'd I say. At least in the LA ones, I know where I was, know those are generally looking solid. Some others.....

    Especially earlier on in the games, instead of always following on the ball I like to focus on a single player for stretches. You to see the little things guys do in their head to head battles and how they function in the schemes. Prior to a shot going up, Lopez is always in team D mode with eyes primarily on the ball. A moment after the shot goes up he's eyeballing his man & deploying his best 7' pufferfish impersonation. No doubt that he's been an important part of their improvement. I see him as on par with Pryz athletically & on D, but better on O primarily because he can catch the ball & make FTs

    so stoked he's a Blazer

    LA sure reminds me more of a younger version of Tim Duncan this year. Not only in the stats but just how he has carried himself and this team this year.So poised, so professional, so composed.

    I DVR'ed it. And it was a damn good one. They changed some things, and Harry Connick Jr is a perfect fit. They may just take back the reins from the shitty shows like the voice and X factor.

    I couldn't help but notice that we had a tie game with less than 3 minutes to go when the coach FINALLY takes out Mo Williams for Wes and we promptly go on a 12-0 run to win the game.

    Was a great game to be able to watch in HD on my couch! Pretty good stuff. Loved LMA and Dame's efforts tonight.

    Not sold on Mo, was happy to see CJ in game for the first time ( my first time watching him ).

    Go Blazers!

    We did what we needed to do. Cleveland came gunning for us, and the addition of Deng has been huge for them. They fought hard, but in the end, we pulled away.

    We'll see how we do on this road trip. You can't pick one much tougher than this one. We'll see if we've hit a rough patch or if we're simply playing to the level of our competition.

    BTW, I didn't check the final stats, but with a few minutes remaining in the 4th, Bennett hadn't played a second. Man, he must really blow. What a disappointment for Cleveland fans.
