Gut feeling: will the Blazers blow the Kings out (i.e., win by 20 or more)?

    Not gonna win many games when you give the opponent 19 more FGA! Speaks to just how bad the Kings are.

    What's the opposite of "every cloud has a silver lining"?

    Pat played well tonight. He only had 2 baskets, but he was a nice cog in the machine tonight playing well defensively, handling the ball, rebounding and trying to run the floor.

    We're still playing way too slow. 70 shots against this sac team is pathetic

    I guess them wanting to be "Bad Boys" is paying dividends, because the offense is putting up points just like the Bad Boy Pistons. We need our version of Sheed at the trade deadline.

    Maybe I'm wrong, but the "bad boy" Pistons were the ones from the 80's. To fit that teams m.o., they need a Mark Aguirre.

    Yet we out rebounded them by 8. That pretty much leaves turnovers. We had 7 more (although 2 were from Zach in the last minute) Nonetheless we get way too careless with the ball. Too many lackadaisical possessions.....trying to be cute with the ball. Maybe they will be more focused on the road.

    I think they need to go back to the basics and practice passing, especially bounce passes. Doubt if it will happen.

    Naah. He made no difference. They were going to win it all with Adrian Dantley anyway.

    We don't know that. Had the Lakers not been so injured during the finals that year (Scott was hurt before the series, and Magic got hurt in game 2), it's unknown if the Pistons would've won.

    The Pistons were 33-13 without Mark, and went 30-6.

    Bazz is a very good player. Glad he got his shot here. Did he miss a shot last night?

    Noah on defense is really damn good. I'm actually looking forward to Aminu coming back to see what they can do together.

    Well look at that! A few less shots by the guards, a few more assists, and we have win instead of a loss. Yeah! Glad to see they get it.

    Some scoring from a back up big man is nice too.

    When you that many turnover it a sign of undiscipline team and the team that not cherish every possession. Yes there going be turnover but they had 19 last night and 22 the night before. Some well excuse from being young but most these players been with each least the last 2 or 3 years. This reflect on carelessness and can reflect on coaching too.
