    Memphis hasn't won 30 home games.

    48-25, 4 game win streak!
    1 loss behind Rockets and we hold the tiebreaker
    Magic number for division is TWO.

    Portland is 7-2 in their last 9 games against Western Conference opponents with winning records.

    their 2 losses were against the #1 team in the league and the #2 team in the Western Conference.

    Would've been nice had they gotten one of those wins. Or not gone 1-4 on the trip. Hopefully they're finding their groove now.

    Kaman missed both games. Aldridge & Batum missed the 2nd half of the Memphis game. All 3 of them missed the GS game. We would've won both if those guys were healthy.

    Too many injuries in the 2 losses.

    Just realized we finished the month with a 10-6 record. That isn't bad at all considering the schedule!

    Looks like the Trail Blazers have a pretty good team.

    This is what I love to see from our starters....

    Aldridge +25
    Batum +23
    Lopez +16
    Lillard +16
    Afflalo +20

    And look what the key bench players got as well...

    Kaman +17
    Blake +10
    CJ +5

    I mentioned it earlier but I'm so impressed with Kaman altering his game to cleaning the glass, tip ins and blocking shots. The sore shoulder was a blessing in disguise. He's having a huge impact these days!

    Blazers looked like UConn women last night (that's a compliment). Play close first half, opponent thinks they have a chance, then BOOM! Blow them out of the arena.

    Well, OK, UConn women are cuter....

    I was shocked at how smoothly we completely eviscerated Phoenix. I was enjoying the quarter but didn't realize how much we'd outscored them until about 9 minutes in. I was like "wait, holy crap, we've out scored them by 20!"

    Suns got burned. That was so bad I had to find a place for it.

    Judging by this game, our best defensive unit might be Blake, CJ, Kaman, Meyers, Crabbe. That's actually a solid bench unit in general.
