    You take out those 2 ass whuppins', and the totals are 1012 (112) and 984 (109). That would put them at 5th in point differential in the western conference, but still nothing to get excited about.

    Lmao. Murray hit 4 heavily contested 3s at the end to make it closer. That was a blowout.

    Now we know why the Blazers came out so ferociously in the 2nd half.

    I was thinking, during the slow start, how I prefer the Blazers to start slow than fast, because it seems like every time we start off well, we end up blowing it and it's a nail biter. But for whatever reason, they seem to come back strong in the 2nd half after lackluster starts. But I didn't expect them to go down by 17.

    Jake Layman ruined his career per 48 scoring average tonight and was -10 in 4 minutes. This must be the first time Turner finished with a positive +-, being +8. His shot still looks very forced and terrible, but at least he didn't turn it over.

    Starting Leonard seems to be a good thing to. He lost his starting spot last year due to injury. Now AMinu's injury might just allow him to win it back. MY boy is a starter in the league!!! Eat that @Mediocre Man ;)

    I agree that it needs to receive at least some consideration throughout the season. Because in the playoffs, when teams have more time to prepare, we will need 3 decent ball handlers in at the same time.

    The problem with giving that line up a lot of minutes now, is that it would cut down on Crabbe and Moe's minutes. And I think they play their best with Dame and CJ as well. Everyone on the team probably benefits from being on the floor with those two.

    Surprising to me that Nuric and Jokic combined for 3-14 against our bigs. It seemed like they did better.
    It was the smaller and quicker Faried that did the most damage. But he seemed to fizzle out in the 2nd half.

    I thought Gallinari looked very good, but he ended up with a +/- of........... -28

    We're giving up a ton of second chance points in the last few games...hope Stotts addresses that....Rudy Gay got sometimes 3 offensive boards off his own misses the other day and Gallinaro did the same thing last ...night..need to be better on the offensive glass...Ed used to provide that
