    Team ball > ESPN ball ALL DAY EVERY DAY.

    ESPN ball = Selfish, singular play, just FYI.

    It's just kinda crazy to think that we are what, 60+ games into the season and we just now had a bench player go for 18. Afflalo is the man but damn, our bench was terrible.

    With Portland up by 1 with 11 seconds to go you knew Westbrook was going to attack the basket and he did. Good D by LMA. But that does not excuse why Terry left Lopez on the bench. I applaud him for going small earlier ( I love that lineup) but this was offense/defense time. He brought him in with 6 seconds, why not 11? That could have been costly. He needed a rim protector.

    That's true, but we didn't have a true "6th man" on our bench, just a collection of 3 or 4 guys to act like a 6th man. Before AA, we would hope our bench guys would hold a lead/keep the deficit reachable. Now with AA, we expect him to drop double-digits every game.

    Afflalo got 30 minutes tonight, which is good, but he needs to get that every night, sacrifice Batum's minutes.

    2 game swing over the last 3 nights. Our playoff odds went from 98% to 99%, with the division from 82% to 90% after last night. Should be 100% and 95% now.

    Batum has played well lately though,i think AA has pushed him to be better.

    This team is beginning to impress me. In past years they might have folded, but the bench really made a difference. Kaman and Triple A were great.

    Nah, I think Nic's resurgence has been due to rest and recovery of his wrist

    Kaman is so hit and miss... More miss than hit. I can't wait for Freeland to come back.
