    When Olshey wakes up this year at his desk and demands to give a $40M contract to the first person he thinks of, do you want it to be Meyers Leonard or Blevin? We need Leonard here pronto. Shake a stick.

    I posted once that he would be better than Skal by the end of some season. I was wrong about that season (cuz Stotts wouldn't play him?) but right in the long run I guess. I just thought he had some pizazz that Skal never had.

    I'd be OK with that; I think he actually learned how to play a little defense from the Heat.

    A tale of two 5-5 records (over the last ten games):

    One is the Lakers, one is us. Records can be deceptive.

    Suns are in an interesting position. They got better SUDDENLY, but so much of that is a 35 year old PG. Chris Paul has a history of getting injured in the playoffs...

    Torrey Craig isn't really any good.

    Chris Paul has not historically done well in the plays. I still have qualms about facing the Suns in the postseason. Monty Williams knows Stotts better than any other coach and can leverage Stotts weaknesses against him.

    Then again I'll take the Suns over the Lakers

    I can't see that happening in Portland. Some group would "Occupy the Rose Quarter" ......for years over it. He is not worth it.

    I also don't think he has a chance to play on the best international ball club either.

    The 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th seeds in the West are currently 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 games back of the #1 seed. Funny.

    The Clippers need to shake up their management and coaching. Lost 5 of last seven couple super stars and some and just don't seem to gel. That organization should be in favored to bring home the ship every year with that talent.
    Leonard and George are super stars but super lacking when it comes to leadership. Frank, Winger & Lue are average front office/coach at best. Rip City

    good catch...that's funny

    if the Clippers and Nuggest would have each won one more game, that sequence would run from 4-10

    Boston is underachieving in all aspects too.
