    My bad. Not thinking clearly after this long road trip. Looked at my phone and saw
    Knicks
    Nola
    OKC
    Orlando
    Miami
    Atlanta
    Nola
    Cabs
    Knicks sat in Portland last night and rested. We are about and hour from landing. That first game back from the road is always tough though, no matter who the opponent is. Looking at this I say we go 2-6.

    I say we take one of the two in florida. We are playing teams tough... I say 3-4 and think of that as okay.

    Brandon Knight shot 0-12 tonight, which happens about once per season. Ray Allen once shot 0-13 in the Finals. Since 1985, a Blazer has done it twice.

    Eh, that's not really fair. Lebron came along right as the Internet age was taking off. I think he got famous off a video of him breaking a backboard or something like that. If Lebron came along right now, he wouldn't have been nearly the same phenomenon. He would be highly touted, yes, but he wouldn't get the ESPN hype.

    I'm not hearing LeBron as a comparison with Simmons, I'm hearing Lamar Odom more. Same build, same passing skills, same good-but-not-amazing athleticism. I think that's fair: Odom was always an amazing talent, just held back by ditziness.

    Even if that were the case (which I doubt), we have a stretch of games starting in January in which we play 17 of 22 games at home. We will make some hay during that stretch.

    The thing I noticed most out of this game is it was a loosely called game by the refs especially in the third. I think that actually helps the Blazers compared to years past. In the past if the refs called the games tight it was a benefit because we were a softer team not looking to make body contact and be a physical threat. But now, I see our defense is alot more hands on from the back court. I see our big men playing alot more physical and I think the refs letting things go a bit more is going to become more and more of a benefit as our defense continues to improve. I see us continuing to become more physical in the paint as well.
