    Looks like Mo was trying to do more than he is capable of.

    Is it possible, albeit EXTREMELY EARLY, that Curry, Hood and Layman could make the Blazers bench....good?

    I love watching Nurk set his feet and Aldridge just bounce off him

    I wonder if Terry wants to Zach and Meyers alternate game by game. He's done it before.

    Nice 2nd quarter. Layman/Hood causes problems.

    Pretty dumb to foul someone taking a desperation 3 with under a second left

    Great second quarter! Layman had a nice and long run. He is bringing it right now. If he keeps this up and keeps getting better, he can be enough to take us another step. Not enough to be a contender, but enough to advance in the playoffs.

    I am watching this and the team really needs a true PF to start if they want sucess in the playoffs cause the team seems off a little this is why the Blazers really needed to trade either Hark or Turner. The reason i believe this is Aminu might be able to play the PF in spurts but think of against the Warriors -- the team all West teams have to go through to get to the finals. I am not sure Aminu can defend Green also not sure it's fair to ask him too since Aminu is a tweener a tad to big to be a SF and too little against traditional PF types.

    I like Nurk's effort. For every mistake he's made, he's made up for it either in Defense or scoring. I like that.

    Im not sure I was just making an observation, Im sure Stotts will try multiple line ups. Maybe he think Zach needs to wait until next year?

    With all the scorer on the 2nd unit I would put Zach at the 5. Leonard cannot play a lick of defense especially he no rim protector.
