    Missed the game. The squad was busy getting that W. Glad to come home to see this W too!

    How did Harkless score 19?!

    Me too. I mentioned this in another game thread, but I would love to see a lineup with Crabbe, Harkless, and Aminu in for a few minutes. The disruptive defense could get some fun things going. Maybe dame at the one and Ed at the 5 just to get rebounds.

    Hayward is a really great number two man. Favors seems to be playing pretty well as well.

    Yes, we know. You don't like Leonard, we don't have enough talent, nobody will ever sign here, we've screwed up the season by winning, everything is terrible...yeah, we get it. We're all emotion-driven fanboys who are satisfied with mediocrity, and you're the only person who sees things realistically and objectively. We're all exceedingly fortunate to be able to bask in your wisdom.

    I agree. I picked him up on my fantasy team early on and have been really happy with that add. The kid has a lot of game.

    The honest truth I'd rather have the team come together and develop as much as possible. If we just miss the playoffs and we end up with what the 16th pick?! Honestly, is that a make or break scenario? Olshey knows that free agency will make this team, not the draft. You can't improve in the league and NOT sign quality free agents. The last few years have shown that.

    Looking at the boxxcore, it's quite incredible that Dwight scores 28 points on 13/17 shooting and grabs 13 boards, then Harden nearly gets a triple-double, scoring 34 points on 20 shot attempts, tallying 11 assists, and snatches 9 rebounds, AND YET the Blazers still prevail!

    This shows that team-play can trump individual heroics when everyone buys in and plays for each other and sacrifices their own individual interests for wins. That's the epitome of synergy right there.

    The game against the Warriors is in Portland. Not sure it will make a difference though.

    Last ten games we lead the league in points off turnovers. Holy crap!

    Houston gambled 2 years ago when they went all in on landing Bosh. Their depth took a huge hit. Plus you have Harden who is great but does not seem fun to play along side.
    Keep in mind they also have a couple of injuries that has hurt their depth.

    Empty stats.

    A big double/double for Dwight....

    The worst +/- in the game.
