    The one thing that impressed me about Stepania, mainly as a Sonic but he still had it as a Blazer, was that once he got his hands on a rebound, no other hands, that were on the ball at the same time, got possession. Opponents had butterfingers and he had claws.

    If CJ and Damian can't play next game, I hope to see more of Montero and Connaughton.

    This was before my time traveling, but when Stepania was a Blazer he took a huge dump on the team plane..... Stunk the whole place up. So anytime somebody goes to the bathroom while we are flying, people tell, "Don't Lay a Stepania back there!"

    It's okay in this case because Stepania will Step-on-ya if you bring up this story or make of fun of him.

    I looked him up. He played 6 years in the NBA, then retired at age 28. He never played again, even in Europe. If he was good enough for the NBA for 6 years, you'd think he'd be good enough for Europe for at least the next year, more like 6 more years. I wonder why he quit the game. HCP, did you criticize him too much for that dump?

    We only lost by 9. Would we have played better with CJ and Dame? I'm not sure about that. What I am sure about though is that ML is garbage. Also, more Montero please. Reminds me of Will Barton.

    Also, Plumlee is our third best player.

    Then comes Ed Davis. Then it's a free-for-all.

    They should yell that to Meyers when he enters the court.

    Gotta love Terry Stotts' unique strategy:
    1) "Damien and CJ in the game? great! attempt 30 3pointers!"
    2) "Frazier and Henderson in the game? great! attempt 30 3pointers!"

    Frazier and Henderson combined for 1 of 10 from the 3pt line and it's not even a surprise.

    And also: Right now we have 4 or 5 guys who can't be the future of this team in no shape or form, Neil needs to dump them and look for a diamond in the coal pile of undrafted\unsigned\25year old ,underrated European players.

    Yes, he was a very good rebounder. Pretty much all he brought to the table.

    Stotts supposedly gives his players freedom, do you think he's telling Henderson not to drive? Gerald's hip injury may be bothering him, because he really doesn't look that explosive or athletic.

    D'oh! What a miserable failure this guy is. So little substance to his coaching.

    So I'm about to create the Pelicans game thread. If there are any objections, speak now or forever hold your peas. #OffDayOnTheRoad
