    Everybody has an off night. Even still he got off 16 shots--lol. Confidence has never been Dame's problem.

    Can you imagine being a fan of a team that just inked Jrue Holiday to a $120m contract?

    Remember that next time Myle's contract comes up and it won't feel so bad.

    I had a GREAT time! I trekked across the country to get there by tip off and late comers in line (!!!) kept me from seeing the first minute of the game. Once I was in my seat, though, I was in heaven. Makes me want to move to Portland and get season tickets. I always feel better about our chances when I'm there in person at a home game. I can feel their confidence and so I'm confident. I also like that I can focus on whatever I want. I can see Stotts call Meyers up off the bench, etc. Only downside to watching in person is injury news. Didn't know what happened to A Davis. He just suddenly wasn't playing anymore. You don't get the replay and commentary about what happened to him. I was kinda bummed actually. I wanted to see him play. Hella glad we won though. I've decided to stay and see the game on Thursday before returning to NYC.

    We played poorly on the offensive end, but we still walked away with a double digit win. That would not have happened last season.

    We outrebounded them by 20. There are different ways to measure how well we played.

    He launched 10 threes. Didn't get defensive stops. Whined to refs instead of taking responsibility for leading the team.

    So what happened to AD? Was it the sheer presence of the most interesting center in the world that injured AD?

    Honestly, that team is a lot scarier when Boogie is around the rim. I was quite happy for him to launch all those threes. Watching CJ guard him out on the three point line is great! More boards for our bigs.

    Boogie is one of the most talented bigs in the league. He just plays dumb sometimes. At one point he had the ball in the post with CJ switched on him. And he passes out to the perimeter for another turnover. Just weird.

    Portland didn't deserve to win with how they shot the ball, and the silly mistakes they made.
    However if you go back to last year, Portland wou;d've been blow out in a game like this.
    I'll take the ugly win.
    Lillard, CJ & Nurk must play better.
    CJ outside of one stretch played like ass, Lillard played like ass, Nurk got 3 fouls in the first 6 minutes of the game.
    I really don't care that they turned it around, or if they hit a few shots. or if they didn't pick up another foul the rest of the game.
    Those three are the core guys going forward. Can't play like ass, must be better.
    I have no reason to believe they won't be better.

    Good to see Davis back to being Davis.
    Also good to see Swanigan contesting @ the rim, as well as getting in position to take charges.

    That game he had against us in Sacramento a while ago shows how transcendent a talent he is. Whether that little light goes off and he realizes even though he plays a kid's game, he has to act like an adult.... who knows. Boogie says that anything that happens on the court is totally seperate from his private life. So maybe he'll pull a Zack Randolph one day. Who knows?

    It's crazy how Patty is actually giving us exactly what AC did for 1/18 the cost. I see this 8-12 pt effort with decent spacing capability off the bench for 20 mpg nightly from him.

    Nurk so far is playin his way into a "great deal" for the team, meaning a LOT less than the max

    this was such an ugly game, but we managed to win it and its encouraging that were winning even when were not at our best, or when our big 3 isnt playing on their levels and I just wonder how were gonna look when they come back to their best... bench is producing and thats great, but NOP are just bad matchup for us, same as MIL

    Swanigan was making things happen out there and was a real difference maker. Gotta love that guy.
