    Mo doesn't get nearly enough credit for how horrible his defense is.

    I remember when everyone thought Anthony Randolph was going to be the next big thing..... and then nothing.

    Freeland is worthless.

    Why bail out Randolph when he's going to his right? He can't do shit going right.

    Denver went on a 28-19 run.

    Something has to be done about our defense. We're at that point now where everyone knows how to score on us and it's starting to cost us games.

    You mean Freeland does. He seen responsible for all the offensive rebounds at the end of the quarter.

    We got to do lots of things better. Our defense is freaking terrible!

    LA can get to the rim at will. So far they've put Wilson Chandler/Faried/Randolph on him.

    Talk about lunch meat

    I'm convinced that Nate Robinson and Kevin Hart are the same person.

    I couldn't tell who CJ was for a second there. At first I thought he was Dorrell Wright, and then Thomas Robinson. He looks much bigger than I thought.

    Faried and Chandler can't stop LMA on the drives--he's too strong.
    That sky hook wasn't Kareem-like, but Lopez is surprising effective. Helps a bit that he's against Hickson. ;)
    on that alley-oop it was almost like LMA couldn't believe he was that wide open, but good look out to Wes for the open 3.
    Yet another okie-doke move by LMA in the paint---yeah, it didn't go down, but that's there.
    Faried cannot check LMA 1-on-1 when he drives.
    Lillard's fall-away, falling-over side J looks ungainly every time, but he's surprisingly effective on it.
    LMA backing Randolph down like he wasn't there. And LMA's passing is on tonight.

    Promising so far--even though LMA is 4-10, 6 of his shots in the paint and only 4 J's. Lillard is aggressive--6 shots so far, 0-2 on 3's but not far off. Wes+Robin 5-7 with Wes' 2 threes.
    CJ's stroke is repeatable--it's looked that same funky hitch behind his forehead every time.

    I'm really disliking all these calls. So many touch fouls.

    This second unit is beyond frustrating.
