    Blazers have in the past been a second half team...last season we started losing 3rd qtrs. ….this season I hope we return to form and Lillard time starts after halftime...CJ is just an iceberg and the rim is the Titanic

    So you know how the Blazers seem to play against teams like all they need to do is get a lead and the other team will fold?

    I kind of feel that's how they're playing this season (so far). "Look, we made the WCF's, you're supposed to lose to us!"

    Granted, they have a ton of new players (and not having Nurk is really bad)...but still...they aren't good enough to just flip a switch and be a title contender.

    The Blazers bench have already scored more points the first half of this game then all of the first game.

    This season the west is so brutal we're going to see regular season games with playoff game intensity....lot of games are going to go down to the buzzer. Talent all over the place....I'm enjoying it..loved the Bucks yesterday...Illyasova impressed the hell out of me for the Bucks.

    What's going to piss me off is if CJ gets more minutes than Ant when Ant is playing better. That's the problem with having a highly-paid one-dimensional player. You have to play him even if his one dimension isn't working.

    TheBlazers badly need a player even like Ilyasova, let alone a star player his size.

    Has anyone ever told Kevin Calabro that he looks like Captain Picard?

    So we want him to pass but be perfect at something he doesn't do often? I'm not going to get down on him for a bad pass when he's actually passing. If he continues to pass more then he'll get better at it.

    I thought the blazers would hit shots better this year. I realize CJ is slumping and that is a huge part of it but i just felt they would have better flow and hit open looks better.

    You're right I should be way more excited about his turnovers.

    Well, thank God we've improved the 3rd Quarter this season.

    Keep going CJ.
