    Well... can't say the guys rolled over. They showed heart. I guess there's that. Will it be enough to keep LA in town? Maybe not. is body language was very telling tonight.... he's separating. He's holding himself back from full investment. That doesn't mean he's not giving 100% effort on the court... he just looks detached. CJ is fools gold. He's garbage time. Meyers, though... that guy has a future. Puts on a little weight and more muscle, he could be a force... maybe the Sabonis comparison isn't so far fetched. Sabas had freakish athleticism when he was young.

    Game 5 probably will be the end. Sad. With Wes, this team might have made noise. But something in Lillard snapped around the ASB, and he hasn't been the same player since.

    Lopez looks lost. Is he hurt?

    Batum... I can't even. Superstar one night, scrub the next. Hell, different halves.

    *SIGH*

    It's going to be interesting to see what happens with Rolo this offseason with Meyers looking good. I know it's just one series, but his value has to have taken a hit.

    Not true. LA shut himself down by taking low percentage shots. It's not Zach.

    If we can muster up one LA performance like he had against Houston last year, we may have a shot. They have totally taken him out of his rhythm this series though.

    CJ is not fool's gold. He works great as a slasher with Leonard who forces the defense out of the paint.

    CJ... Garbage time? The guy just had two great games against the best defense in the NBA.

    I don't think this was as much Z-Bo as it was LA not being on and not adjusting his game. He has too much for Randolph to guard in every respect, but, when he settles, then Z-Bo looks good.

    As a Blazer the refs would never let him grab and push and bump and tug all the time.

    Yeah i meant rolo was a bad matchup for the blazers. Nards is the key it seems.

    I'm a realist. A Blazer fan for 40+ years is allowed that.

    Rolo had had a noticeable drop off is his stats this season. He's on the decline, so there's no risk of him getting massively paid. I think he gets 7.5 million for 3 years. And I think that will be overpaying.
