    Feels like the entire team is offense, except for maybe a couple of the players. I think even they know a trade is on the horizon.

    Geez guys, time ran out before we could finish our comeback. The Cavs just won by luck. If Kevin Love had missed all of he's shots, we'd have won.

    His pick and roll strategy is a nightmare. He really needs to hire a defensive coordinator, because his entire scheme is not working.

    Cavs just scored most points for franchise in 24 years.

    What's that old saying about the mouse and a piece of cheese? You stop putting the piece of cheese at the end of the maze, what happens?
    The mouse stops playing. That's what the NBA feels like now if you're a Blazer fan.

    You're going to have fun in the upcoming strike then. This should definitely be a good one. Baseball's labor issues are at least solvable. But my guess is
    Richard Sherman ends up holding Roger Goodell's head outside of the NFL Headquarters and strikes a Harry Hamlin pose.

    I've never heard that saying before. I've heard of the carrot and stick for a donkey. Have you heard the call-to-war slogan, "Are we men, or are we mice!"

    A few non-negative observations (are those allowed?):

    Plumlee is becoming a consistent scoring threat.

    Turner is also doing better on scoring the past two games.

    Chief is close to returning and it can't come too soon. The Blazers lost this one because of Love's crazy-hot start. That doesn't happen with Aminu on him instead of Ed.

    Lillard got his MVP mojo back tonight despite it being a back-to-back. He'd been a little flat lately.

    The road trip is over. Time for a little home cooking.

    Anybody else have some positives?

    A few more losses and we can snag our 3rd of the big 3 in the lottery like we should have last year

    To be honest I really do miss the shit out of mike and mike. Barrett is no colabro obviously but man mike and mike was the duo. They were fun to listen to, I didn't need listen to them for playcalling, in watching the game, I know what's going on. They had the homer feel going on as well as the sense of humor that was a cringe kind of funny. Kevin and Lamar are just bleh to me
