    Hopefully Claver seizes this opportunity and can work his way out of a suit.
    Looking forward to seeing him on the court!

    Claver was my 2nd-favorite player last season. I advocated for him a lot, but this season I've been consumed with the amazing success of Earl Watson. For example, notice how good we suddenly got this season with Watson giving players advice?

    If Leonar_ played more, this would cancel each other out. Hopefully T-Rob steps up. Ironic that the trade deadline is tomorrow with Hawes out there

    The first game Aldridge misses this season = The game his caricature glass is given out to all attendees.

    Luckily, the Earl Watson, Meyers Leonard, Victor Claver, and Will Barton glasses won't jinx us too badly.

    He's standing in the paint somewhere, watching guys dunk it.

    I'm excited to see what Roninson will do with some extended run. This is his first opportunity with us to actually be a key piece of the team so maybe it will unleash the beast bound inside him while he goes like godzilla over the opposition

    TRob needs to not follow through on those blocks. No reason for it, and it leads to fouls. Straight up ala Freeland wins the race.

    I was listening to Hibbert on the BS Report and he was saying thats why he had so many foul problems when he was a rookie. I think T Rob will learn that as well

    Has there been any news on LMA's return? He should be healthy by tomorrow, according to the original assessment.

    LaMarcus Aldridge made the trip to Denver, got off the team bus entering #Blazers shootaround.

    Well things are certainly looking up in Rip City! I'd certainly hope we could beat Denver even if he doesn't play - but it seems unlikely he'd make this one-day trip if he planned not to.

    I'd rest him tonight. Don't need LA to beat DEN. We've got a tougher game tomorrow at home vs BKN (who has had multiple days of rest)
