    From Jan 27th thru Feb 29th, we have just 2 road games: Feb 2nd & 4th in Denver. I’ve never heard of this before. Any guesses on record during this time?

    We better not win too many games. Still holding onto our 5 spot but can’t risk it with Memphis in free fall.

    Tonight down 20 with 6 minutes left Chauncey emptied the bench. To me that's too early and reeks of a tank. He does that a lot, conceding games with almost half a qtr left. I don't havee faith in us winning any games and when they win one, I'm really surprised.

    Hopefully we play all the young guys 30+ a night and lose every game

    Lets just look past that the All Star break is in there. So It's more like a 3 game home stand then the break followed by a 4 game stand.

    Of course we also have the trade deadline in there as well. So this team will probably not be the same.

    I am usually in agreement with you, but I think it was more about getting guys experience in the face of what looked like a no win situation. Size matters and with one center out for the year, our current starter hobbled on a sore knee, and inexperienced depth after that, the only way we were going to come back was draining it from outside, and Anfernee did not have that look. You might be right, but it felt like a loss at the beginning of the 4th.....and I am a major homer.

    My biggest beef, and I have seen it all year, are soft, unconcerned passes. God I go off when we get picked on passes....over...and over. Also, have we ever gotten the better of FT's against the Fakers? "Foul against LeBron James, a Blazer player breathed on him....".
