    Hopefully Stotts has been saving Harkless for more minutes in the second half.

    He has a vicious dunk. Are we not watching the same game?

    Would have had 2 more except that their 5th foul of the quarter was their "1st of the last 2 minutes". Which seems like a bullshit rule when it actually allows them an extra foul. I thought that rule was so teams would only have to foul twice if they only had, say, 1 team foul at the end of the game and they wanted to stop the clock and make the other team shoot FTs.

    We need to play better defense. Not score more.

    Ok. Halftime. We are leading. I don't know how. 1 ) Blazers need to stop making stupid mistakes. 2.) Refs need to start calling a fair game. Blazers got to the line once the whole half, and the Pelicants well I lost count.

    Rondo is hitting threes and Dame can't click on wide open floaters. WTF is going on?

    He's getting double teamed every time he touches the damn ball, and we keep bringing that second defender to him by setting ball screens so...

    Remember the beating Dame took in the fourth quarter of that Jazz game? I wonder if he's still feeling that.

    I mean... I expected their FRONTcourt to dominate ours, but I never expected their backcourt to do so.

    Is Holiday really this good?

    Refs are doing a very poor job.
