    I quite enjoyed the first three quarters. The last quarter? Not so much.

    Congratulations to Patty Mills!

    What I mean is I can already read postseason interview with Stotts. Same as last season.


    Got nothing against you personally. Don't know how you find bright side in this:) After all it's just basketball. But I'm guessing season is over for Blazers.

    Well the last time a season was over for a team on the 14th game of a season with a winning record was never. My bet is you will watch another game. Yes it's just basketball but it's the Blazers.

    Reading some quotes by Spurs players. They seem to understand that if they can get Aldridge comfortable and hitting shots, it makes the offense so much easier for the rest of the team. They felt that was the key last night. Does Stotts understand that?

    That must be a brand new wrinkle because Stotts acted like he'd never seen it before....and of course, made no adjustments whatsoever.
    Hey Walnut, he has only made his entire career out of that shot. Hello!!!

    Terry after LMA's first bucket: "Hey! this play looks familiar!"

    Terry after the final whistle: :smiley-pat: "Oh, that's right!! i designed that play!"

    Of those guys, only Collins is likely done for the season. Nurk and CJ are likely to be back well before the end of regular season. Collins may be too, depending on how his ankle heals.

    Exactly what in your mind constitutes "blowing it up"?

    Lucky guess. We were fighting through injuries, but after CJ and Nurk came back we manage to clinch 8 place. It was hard, hard season and I'm proud of this team. Bla bla. Terry Stotts.
    Move the ball!!!

    We still haven't seen this team 100% healthy in Terry's system. Neil "Snake oil Salesman" Olshey (sorry to any actual snake oil salesman who might read this)
