    Yeah, they played the Lakers october 18th 2018, that would've been the best one to start with. :)

    Layman kept working over the days off, he has been great! Can't believe we are only down 7 after that rubbish.

    I wish Moe played with the effort that Jake does. He does it in bursts, and then vanishes

    Stotts' "do the math" better not mean less Layman. That guy has earned the right to play!

    I wondered how many calls they got about Jake for trades? He has played great lately and honestly could have had even more impact if his teammates were really looking for him.

    Miami's coach looks like a doctor who molests children.

    Shitty 1st half. Thank goodness for Jake Layman. Blazers gotta come out and win the 3rd big to get this game.

    If teammates would hit Jake when he busts his but to get wide open, he'd have 20 points this half.

    So that's why Davis hasn't been traded here

    How long has this players only thing been a thing? And Candace Parker is there? Weird. I've been away too long.

    Btw I found it interesting that Aminu didn’t sub in for Moe at the end of the first half. If I didn’t know any better I would guess they’re showcasing Moe. Not sure that’s a good idea.

    At least they salvaged the last 90 seconds. Cannot lose one of only three home games this month.

    These guys just let Whiteside protect the rim and the other 4 are free to pressure the perimeter. Cj and Jake are the two who can beat that. Hood would help tonight with his mid range game.

    No defense no energy that half.

    I swear Moe goes into a shell on purpose in the weeks leading up to the trade deadline to tank his trade value because he doesn't want to be traded.

    Yup. Some of the contests were a bit late and I think we could played with more force and physicality defensively.

    Making plenty of other mistakes defensively as well. A couple late and low resistance switches, standing around on the defensive glass, couple back cuts...

    Thought they ramped it up at the end of the half though.
