    I suspect that this spread out scoring we have seen this pre-season is going to be how it is in the regular season too. A lot weapons and rolling with whoever is open or hot

    Maybe I was wrong. There is one thing we can learn from this game. Stotts is going to rely on the starters too damn much.

    I really don't think so. We've had over 50pts from the bench two games in a row and this is just dress rehearsal for the starters

    One half for the starters, one half for the bench. He risked it today for a game that meant nothing. I think it's just Stotts MO to play the hell out of the starters.


    Maybe that's how we'll get a top flight FA here.

    Kaman continues to impress more and more. Now it's with his passing.

    Kaman almost has a double double in 12.5 minutes

    I wouldn't mind this group as a second unit.

    Kaman with a clutch bucket off the drive. Impressive move

    Kaman just knows how to play. Always liked that guy! Great pickup

    I seriously am beginning to wonder if Kaman could get consideration for 6th man of the year if he plays like this off the bench.

    We'll see when the season starts. Can't take anything huge from this game, even though I want to.

    I think we're going to be a nightmare for a lot of teams to matchup with, deepest Blazer bench in a long, long time. Lot of fresh legs to put on the court. Odd TRob hasn't seen any burn

    27 assists on 32 made field goals through 3 quarters. Not bad for a meaningless lopsided preseason game.

    I think T-Rob is an essential part... he's the 2nd unit Wesley Matthews in terms of heart... I think those are imperative for each unit. (And no, not Matthews as a whole, just with the heart and hustle)
