    Then he should try not fading away from the basket on 90% of his shots

    3-2 here we come. The Blazers never appeared to be very interested in this game. And I"m tired of seeing them passing up wide open shots, only to go on to commit a TO or shot a bad shot against the buzzer.

    Oh, I have no doubt somebody will come along shortly and talk about how awesome our pace has been and how many points they scored the first three games ... never mind for a second that a ton of that has come off of runouts or long jumpers (typically feast or famine scoring). The half-court offense mostly makes my eyes bleed.

    Yes, he's back to his "fade away ways". It usually takes LaMarcus till mid-way through the season to shed his LaMarshmellow persona...

    Don't know why we aren't trying to run more. We need points in the paint.

    The Clippers are getting back on defense quicker than the Blazers can fastbreak

    This has been Nate's MO on the road, in the past. Hopefully he lets go a bit in the second half

    You should have just gone for 100% if you were going to exaggerate.

    They are taking away the leak out. No reason for the guards not to push tempo though?

    the definition of insanity is doing something over and over and expecting different results.

    Nate's track record speaks for itself.

    Not exaggerating.

    It's science.

    At the risk of starting a war, this is what I meant by Aldridge needs to go back to his beast mods he was in last year. Not sure what's up right now? What has changed? I'd love for one of the reporters to ask him or Nate why he has stopped doing that

    I have the feeling this will be a "home team". I don't think we'll pull out many road wins against quality teams.

    They are... but the Clippers are back on defense

    Mike even said it at the start of the game. The Clippers were sending no one to the offensive boards.

    Lol me too. I was really worried about our energy on the road. They don't have the crowd to energize them. Come on blazers!!!!
