    I doubt CJ is in the doghouse. A 10 man rotation is about as much as you can go with. Will has earned the minutes. (all 13 of them) CJ will just have to wait his turn.

    Go to NBA.com and watch the highlights for DEN/POR... The commentator (who is annoying as hell) keeps calling Batum "Bait-em"... how Ironic.

    You know I like what LaMarcus has become this year for the team. But the team's pulse follows that of LaMarcus's. Granted, he was coming back from 12 days off but his energy level wasn't all that great. And I didn't think the teams energy was that great this evening either. This is a concern because to me his energy has been waning for weeks. When he was out. The team's energy exploded to an extent. He came back and the energy took a dive.

    How many of you see this and think it's a concern?

    I won't consider it to be a concern until at least 4-5 games. He hadn't played since Feb. 12th. If we're coming back from the road trip with the same energy as this one (and played that way throughout) then I'd worry... but that was the bench getting minutes, so of course they will be fresh.

    Thanks for the video... I mentioned it a few posts up... it's almost like he says "Bait-um". I mean, it's not even close to the spelling of the name. Like, when people say "Or-e-Gone" Where the hell is that last e? Or the intonation of "ore"? It says ORE! Like a thing you freaking row with! Gah!

    That guy sounds like a transplant from another sport. With that soft, smooth voice, maybe he did golf telecasts. He starts with Aldridge's "strained grawn."

    Though, I remember that line, because it was from the Hell in the cell with Undertaker and Mankind. #nostalgia

    Wow, I had no idea. It's not just teams missing open shots, it's been us rotating and attacking the shooter.

    Good Lord, if this team actually starts playing defense, we suddenly become pretty scary.

    I disagree. I wish we had many more games against them. We have their number this year.

    This is exactly what I was going to post. This was--dare I say--a Spurs-like win. We played a lot of our bench, used our starters to push the lead, when Denver made a run we always answered. It really seemed like we played at 80%.

    What was also nice, was this was Aldridge's "shake off the rust" game. I expect him to look much better against the F'L*kers.
