    CJ McCollum joins Anthony Davis, James Harden and Russell Westbrook as only players with at least 7 straight games of 25+ points this year.

    Both deserve to be all stars. You cant dislike dames insane beginning to the season and you also can't dispute cj's insane play as of lately. If we had a better record, they both would get in. Who knows who will be an all star. Proven to be bullshit anyways

    Stotts scrapped the "let's just sag off and let people attack the paint" defense and started allowing the team to play a style that actually fits the players currently on the team.

    I took a shot of whiskey every time Hubie mispronounced Amino. I think I blacked out late in the 2nd, but just regained consciousness and saw we're up big. Sweet.

    I don't know if they have turned it around yet; but a working hypothesis is that Turner and Davis struggled at the beginning of the season. So Napier, Vonleh and Leonard played quite a bit. Once Turner and Davis got going, those players who aren't playing well enough to be rotation players have been dropped out. Now that there are not so many players, it's easier to work with each other.

    CJ and Dame may split the votes and neither get in. I mean Curry, Klay, Draymond, Durant, Harden, CP3, Westbrook, Kawhi, Gasol, Davis, and Cousins are locks. That leaves one more spot. Dame, CJ, Aldridge, or somebody from Utah.

    Evan Turner's 11 assists are the most by a Trail Blazers reserve since Mo Williams (11, 3/27/14 at ATL). He has 6 in the 4th quarter alone.

    Matt Moore is shit. Dislike the guy. Always hates on the blazers. Once told me on twitter about last years season that "it would be a great story to tell at a bar".

    I think Hubie has pronounced Aminu's name about 6 different ways tonight.

    Edit: I should add that none of them have been correct.
