    Honestly I haven't seen many fouls worth calling on denvers end. Just two 7 footers flailing by the rim getting calls

    also, a shout out to that 93-94 season where they got 8th seed n beat the #1 Sonics, that shot of him on the ground in the last game holding the ball is a classic scene.

    that nugs team was fun to watch too, robert pack had some classic dunks

    Not to mention his 2 shots that barely grazed the rim and his Air0.

    We always get the shaft on calls. Dame still does despite having a better rep in the league. Probably because we don't have guys that will whine and flop around, I don't know. That clippers game was so hard to watch because of the bullshit calls

    by my count its leonard with cj coming in a close second. Turner may be 3rd.

    I'd say right now, Damian is playing as well as any player in the league...you can't really play better this this. (well, unless he suddenly became Gary Payton on defense)

    Damian Lillard contributed to 14 of Portland's 25 field goals in the first half (9-14 FG/21 points, 5 assists).

    I'd consider that. Demarcus and Dame could be killer together. Kings would want more, though.

    retired, while you work!
    At halftime, many players on both teams have great box score lines. Even Evan Turner has made 3 shots from about 15 feet. When we shoot, there's often no one within 8 feet. Both coaches will probably run it more slowly in the 2nd half.

    Aminu and Davis each had 3 fouls by halfway through the 1st quarter but have had none since. At that time we led in fouls, 9-3. At halftime we now lead in fouls, 16-8, so we've held it steady since then. Harkless has 3 now, but Plumlee only 1. Probably cause and effect. The others are covering for Plumlee, since he's had big time foul trouble this season.
