    Ask Kingspeed himself; I'll bet he smiled when I posted that.

    You can only play checkers in 4D. Nice try though.

    Being purposely obtuse is also a form of trolling; it doesn't really bother me; I'm actually amused.

    Let me get this straight, after the injuries the Blazers have dealt with this season, you’re going to excuse another team’s loss to the Blazers because they have injuries?

    Spoelstra couldn’t up with a coaching plan to stop Stotts’ offense.

    It’s so obvious what a difference maker Nurk is. He’s clearly the second most valuable player on this team, and in some ways he might be THE most valuable.

    Nurk choked on a lay-up and then made a stupid foul. He deserved to be pulled.
    He looked gassed

    I said "great" he said "smart". Same idea. Hurd argued it was smart to challenge on the basis of timeouts, then later argued against that logic saying that in spite of the timeout, you still want to hang onto your challenge. He was right the second time.

    "Which is a smart challenge..."

    Except Stotts has done this consistently for 9 seasons now. My evidence trumps your evidence.

    Yup. I think it would be a good idea to give this team a couple of weeks for Nurk to get in game shape and for Powell to get used to his team and role before making too much noise about how crappy the Blazers are. Oh, what am I thinking, this is an S2 game thread. The land of made up minds and snap decisions.

    Well every win is good this type of year don't matter who we play. But our defense in the third quarter probably won us this game. CJ made big shots at the end but still was still had trouble with as was Dame. Powell got 13 points with 6 shots need find him more shots. Covington was also big filling up the stats sheets and Jones coming off the bench was huge. But the negative except from the 3rd our defense wasn't good and next thing giving up offense rebounds has to stop to minimum if we going have success the rest of the season.

    There are some things that are encouraging. We know our 3 guards are pretty good, and either Jones or RoCo seem to be shooting better (But seldom both at the same time) We need Nurk to get in shape and play smart, and Little to stay healthy and get some playing time so he can
    get some experience before the playoffs.

    It's the only thing around here that is actually "Pathetic".

    Yep. Looks like unfortunately the team will win another game. It’s boring.
