    Yes. Off the top of my head though, the Rockets went up 17 on us with less than 3 to play, so we put in Layman, Pat C and company in and that rallied to the game. Rockets put CP3 back in and he hit the game winner. Back in the Sheed days, I remember blowing a huge lead against Memphis because we acted like the game was over. We put starters back in but couldn’t recover. I think it was the season we had Steve Kerr.

    We beat them more over the weekend than we did on Wednesday.

    Great question... Probably the same % as a supestar suffering a serious injury in garbage time.

    We could balance our roster so much more by unloading Simons and giving Sharpe starters minutes. A Simons package could net us a good haul to even out the roster

    The end of the bench almost always gets smoked in blowouts. Been a thing all season.

    Some players are good defensive players because of their hustle and effort. But the really good ones make it looks easier. Thybulle is one of those. He seldom leaves his feet, but when he does......wow.

    I don't expect him to shoot 3s like he did tonight, but he definitely has a good enough stroke to keep the defense from leaving him alone. Love this pickup.

    I know it's 1 game, but I liked Matisse a ton.

    As I said (above), I know it's just 1 game and he could return to his normal stats asap, but imagine if he became even just a decent shooter (who actually shot) and kept the defense honest?

    @THE HCP will you finally admit that the Lakers are TRASH?

    Reddish and either Eubanks/Watford (depending on matchups).

    I thought Reddish had a couple nice plays on D, shows how starved I am on that end after watching the Blazers the past few seasons.

    The nice part is we do not have to worry about Nurk getting into foul trouble. We often play better without him. But we still need him
