    Hopefully not. He needs to keep shooting so he has less of these clunkers, and more sweet efforts like the other night.

    And agree on Chief's clutch FT's. Chief is becoming more consistant by the minute.

    I was thinking the same thing about Rose. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a scoring threat like that to be in the second unit. I think relying on him down the stretch is asking too much for his old bones. That was Minnesota’s mistake tonight. I’d have used some of those young guys tonight when Rose missed his last three. But that’s easy to say now.

    RoCo is a very inconsistent shooter. If the Blazers were better with the turnover's they smoke these guys.

    Great effort and I'm happy for the win but that was some low low BBIQ play by the Blazers. You won't win much in the NBA if you don't value every damn possession. Quit the hero play, driving one into three traffic, hero passes, and passing up open threes. Play simpler. I thought Blazers played good defense and played with tons of heart & effort.

    I gotta say one thing. We are sooooooo freakin lucky to have had Nurk drop into our laps. That guy I think is gonna be the best center in the NBA.

    I wonder if they had a chance? He was available. There was some conversation about it. Some felt he was washed up and would be a head case. It's always a risk with a player that has been through things like Rose has.

    KJ unless he’s using a VPN they should be able to tell where he’s posting from (just like you and I), our compputers and other devices have several ways to be tracked down online the most known and easiest to track is our IP address.
    Now when an admin bans someone my guess is they are just shutting off that account, so he/she could theorhetically make a new account. They could possibly IP ban someone as well, but my guess is they would need someone involved with the server’s for the site to do that. Even that may not be a perfect solution if someone is really determined to be here as there are ways to spoof IP’s, and ways to hide an IP too, though someone with the right skillset could undoubtedly figure it out.

    Even though Layman did not knock them all down tonight he brought some intensity to the game tonight. Also make a few really good and timely defensive plays tonight. Gotta keep hin in the rotation. Sorry but Curry had a run to see if he could live up to the name but it’s time to use our home grown guys.

    All that matters at this point is that they win. Ugly or pretty I dont care. Is consider this kind of an ugly win but they count the same.

    Now in 2-3 months I hope they’re playing better but with where theyve been lately they just gotta go W’s.

    Well I thought we'd blown it at 99-105, so kudos for the team for scoring the last 14 points and pulling it out. Only 1 fourth quarter turnover, which helped a lot.

    I banned a moniker. If they want to come back under a new moniker and we find out we will ban that new moniker. The trick is if you are banned and come back under a new moniker you should stop the behavior that got your last moniker banned.

    The score was never that. They were up 100-94. We went on 19-5 run the rest of the way.

    That would be dumb. Chalk it up to variance. Bench players for taking bad shots, not for missing good shots.
