    While I somewhat agree - 3 fouls in the first 5 minutes of the quarter against the Spurs meant we were in the penalty early.

    Refs weren't letting him play. I thought at least two of them were tricky tack. Stotts doesn't really get visibly frustrated and he was hot. But even so, Baldwin immediately caused a turnover and was a +5. I don't really care about that stat, but it does show that he didn't really negatively affect the game. He needs more minutes. A lot more. He's the only guy on our roster that can cause havoc defensively against guards.

    And with his Aggressive style of play, he's going to get called for tacky tack fouls, especially as a young player in the league. Eventually he'll garner a reputation, and refs will let him get away with more. But that'll only come with time.

    Nurk low key has the best kick game on the team, and I love how he reps rip city.

    That form is why Ed Davis only shoots inside of 3' unless at the FT line. How is it we have two of the most unorthodox shooting forms in our top-7 players?

    Let's hope he's horribly ineffective...

    I'm sure CJ's stellar defense will stop him from scoring

    Not suprising. Guys always return against us and have career nights.

    Not really this season though. If anything we've had a lot of luck with players missing games against us.

    I think the Blazers will try to get this one tonight so they can rest up against Utah

    Blazers can't rest if Utah wins against Golden State

    A win tonight doesn’t necessarily lock up the third seed. I think it does lock up Home court though. I personally don’t care about either lol.

    And I noticed there was no selection for None of the Above listed so I didn't vote, either.
