    Still here. I'd play the game where you ask where the haters are after a good game, and I ask where the apologists are after a bad one, but I'd probably get carpal tunnel.

    Congrats to Fabio for playing remotely close to an NBA player last night. He raised his PER all the way up to 10.2, and his DWS all the way up to 0.1

    FINALLY.....the Blazers played some active defense, weren't quite so predictable, played with energy and forced a couple of turnovers. Credit where credit is due because they have taken a lot of flak (deservedly so) recently for not playing with passion and energy. Harkless was good on both ends, Meyers also contributed on both ends and showed a little nasty and Plums came within a couple of assists of a triple-double.

    This is what you want to see against sub-.5oo hundred teams but it's really the first time they have come out with that type of performance. Now to build on that against a better team like Houston on Sunday.

    About the only down note.....Allen Crabbe stole another game paycheck. :protest:

    Totally forgot this was just earlier this year.

    That's the most interesting statistic I have seen in awhile. Or is it, now that I think about it. Anyone who plays with Turner is going to have a bad +/-. But having a decent +/- without Turner. My theory about Crabbe is that he has always been a guy who works really hard to get open, either on backcuts or the perimeter. And that he got missed a lot last year by CJ and Lillard. Now, this year, with Turner holding the ball a lot, he gets missed even more. And it has got to the point where he is not trying as hard to get open. He is having trouble getting into a rhythm and starting to wish he was on another team.

    Oh please. He's missing WIDE OPEN looks. It's not always that complicated. He's in a funk. He's a shooter. He'll get out of it. Everyone will move on and cry about someone else. The cycle of impatience.
