    AA is injured, but I still like his tenacity

    Rolo is a bad matchup, gotta get the Memphis bigs out of the paint.

    We outrebounded them by 10. That was the difference. I'm still baffled as to why Leonard had 0 attempts in the 2nd half.

    I actually got hate mail in my inbox preseason when Iwrote that I thought he was the most improved bench guy.

    We'll know on Wednesday. I think it's crystal clear that neither Blake nor Afflalo should be playing. Based on the fact that it's our youngsters that have carried us to a win I think we should continue to let some young guys surprise MEM and give Frazier Blake's minutes and Crabbe Afflalo's.

    1 down 3 to go!

    We now know it's actually possible to beat this team, even with our best player going 6-22.

    And for the record, who among us would ever think of Z-Bo as a lockdown defender? Crazy. He has flat out shut down LA.

    He could never have become this kind of player here in Portland. He had to get passed around like a pack of smokes to turn his life and his game around.

    You do still have to play Rolo some minutes. Not sure you have to play AA at all though. And Blake? Haha. For sure you don't have to.

    Nico and LA did a ton of dirty work defensively against the Grizz..they really stayed glued to their man all night

    It won't happen, but I wouldn't mind seeing him retire here.

    When CJ has room to operate, he's a great slasher and maybe the best finisher on the team. It's imperative that we keep the spacing going with Meyers if we want a shot at the Grind House.
