    Actually the whole team was 22-25. Quite possibly won them the game.

    I guess the obvious thing everyone is seeing is that at the SF position the Blazers need help. That and the PF position. Continue to build on what they have and pick a player that can work both of those positions and they might really take off.
    That or just sign Durant.

    Didn't you hear? LeBron leaving Cleveland because he unfollowed them on twitter.

    LeBron to Portland confirmed!

    I hope Terry keeps giving Roberts 4-5 minutes a half. I think they will need him against the Clippers, who do a good job of trapping opposing PG's.

    Best part about Roberts is it takes pressure off CJ. I love CJ, but not as the sole ballhandler on the court. I don't know why it's taken this long honestly.

    To be fair, that was a foul, and should have been called. Dude was hacked hardcore... no idea HOW that wasn't a foul... so he had every right to bitch and moan... that was a horrible no-call by the refs. Dallas should have had 2 free throws there.

    Otherwise known as Lillard time.

    Lillard Time - Definition: A point in the game that Damian Lillard takes over a game for a time. Whether that is in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th. It is not reserved for just the clutch moments.

    Had to DVR the game so I'm watching now. My favorite part? Six minutes into the third quarter, four years after we got rid of him, we STILL boo Felton hard when he touches the ball.

    Was talking with Orion about it, loved seeing Roberts come in in the 2nd. I know I, and several others were wondering when that'd happen! And it worked tonight!

    I was at the game and I was quite surprised from the crowd's response to Felton. Okay, to start the game maybe. But they were still booing him into the fourth quarter. Come on, he's not that good to waste our breath.

    He said he wants to play with Wade, Melo, and Chris Paul and that he would take less money to do it. Can we pick up all three of those guys and would you even want to? Seems like cheating.

    I bet you wouldn't hit one. Not in the pressure and speed of the NBA game.

    We didn't have Brian Roberts til last month. Frazier wasn't the answer.

    Come to the gym and shoot with me then. I think I could change your tone.

    I thought you, Dr. Optimist, would be the one to believe in the Bones.

    When? Where? Remember, you have to be guarding NBA players on the other end of the court and still have the energy to hit them.

    Anytime.Anywhere.. I try as hard on defense whenever I play ball. It wouldn't be different energy wise.
