    I'd say he's scouting draft prospects and married to his phone about now

    Sadly they sold me a bill of goods and I bought season tickets to this one.

    We don't have the personnel to execute whatever the hell offense Stotts is trotting out there. Our bigs don't have the size or offensive skills to make contested shots at the rim.

    Mason Plumlee with a made jumpshot. First in a month?

    Totally fine with him trying that nonsense. Open 3's for Thomas is what is killing us.

    Vonleh just totally lacks the ability to go up quickly with the ball.

    Vonleh is the only one working the boards.

    If they're going to put Thomas on Dame, we should just let Dame eat him alive every possession like he just did.

    He's too short to play in the trees.

    this is what I believe...if Mason or Meyers could score in the paint, we'd be leaps and bounds better

    No instincts. Thinks too much before acting.

    Damn, how good would Dame be if the refs protected him as much as some of these other guards?

    Feels like Lillard hasn't made a shot at the rim in months. Major difference from earlier in the season.

    Vonleh with 8 strong rebounds in just 14 minutes. Man, if he only had a decent offensive game I actually might like watching him play.

    Dame got shoved in the back which threw him off, and no call.
