    Just finished watching the game recording and I just want to say....

    WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Super stoked through 6 games so far! For various reasons, I enjoyed watching this one even more than the season opener!

    Meyers and Plums are both athletic and good passing bigs! (hopefully can say the same about Vonleh soon)

    Aminu is a badass taller-than-average SF, playing his best ball yet!

    Dame showing that he's still what we always knew he was!

    CJ continuing to show his potential and embracing his starting role!

    Zbo still leading the league in funny facial expressions and head tilts!

    You already know the totally radical bodacious tubular awesome excellent defensive presence!

    Ok, so the FTs need some work. We were able to improve Pryzbilla's FT form and %; maybe the same can be done for Ed and Mason.

    As Wheels likes to say, it's a great day to be a Blazer!!!

    Edit: and Moe! Gimme mo' Moe!

    Aminu doesn't lose to Spanish players.

    Oh wait that was the other guy.

    Admittedly I have always a had a soft spot for Batum even though his play didnt always justify or warrant it. Maybe its because I got to meet him at a signing or whatever but I have realized that since he was traded that sometimes things have to been done the hard way to make things better.

    For example I thought being let go from my last job even though I didnt like it was a horrible thing and I was really distraught over it but here I am 7 years later at a job that I like that makes twice what I made before. Ultimately thing tend to work out the way they were meant to be whether its life or basketball

    Likewise Batum, barring any injury, is gonna get PAID next season. I'm glad it's not us who'll be paying.

    And its probably was the best thing for him because he has more of chance to shine and make that pay day even bigger that we likely would not have paid

    Batum had every chance to shine here. Being soft, reticent, afraid of contact, and basically TIMID, created the situation where Wes HAD to become our 3rd scorer. Settling for jumpers, not gaining weight in the offseason, and being oft injured is the reason why he got traded.

    He never earned his money.
