    We've lost 2 games already. And we'll lose others. But we'll win far more.

    We may, we may not, but Hack a whoever doesn't work so why are you freaking out about it. You've already declared we'll lose "lots of close games" this year. We'll see, won't we?

    Dame get his shot back? When he and CJ are that hot from outside, we are tough to beat.

    Loved what I saw from Harkless today. He and Aminu are so understated.

    Plums was awesome, but 2-9 FT will not cut it in PDX, Mase. Needs work.

    If the playoffs started today, we'd be in!
    It's meaningless, but frankly I'll take it.

    We'll see.

    And that's not me freaking out. But, you can continue to put emotions to my words if it makes you feel better. You've done it this entire time anyway. :)

    Before this game, Dame was #5 in the NBA in scoring at 25.5 ppg. CJ was #14 at 21.5 ppg.

    With 35 tonight, that moves Dame to 27.4 ppg (he'll stay about #5). CJ's 27 puts him at 22.6 ppg (right around #10).

    Wow!

    We'll see if CJ is consistent. That's a worry of mine. He did GREAT tonight, though. I just worry about consistency.

    But he's been making some really dumb passes lately, and dribbling into traffic not knowing what he's doing. So he's got those motor skills but it hasn't translated into much positive on the court. And he's not much of a post player. He might be good enough to take a much smaller player inside or finish when he catches in it deep, but he is by no means a "post threat". I like how he is more athletic than Robin, he's more active, but miss Robin's ability to make FTs

    That was a pretty good performance, kind of what I expect of this team when it performs up to its realistic capabilities. Good hustle, lot of length and athleticism and depth.

    Dame and CJ were on tonight, but I thought the way they ran the show and the shots they took were in the flow and made sense, and I liked that a lot.

    Really like how I see Harkless's game coming along.

    Free throw shooting and bad turnovers ... I think we're just going to have to get used to that this year, and some shooting slumps. Still, fun team to watch.

    When I coached elementary-aged kids, I probably enjoyed it more than working with players at any other level, because they tried hard and you could see the development from day to day, week to week. I get a similar enjoyment watching this team. Trying not to get too caught up in wins and losses, but enjoy watching the players mature and the team progress.

    He's played pretty well all season so far. No one scores the exact same amount of points each game.

    Aminu totally got in Hayward's head. I don't know how many times he pulled back on shooting mid air when he noticed aminu on him. That steal and clear path at the end was the dagger.

    Do you just assume I mean exact? I mean, who thinks that?

    Stop trying to think you can think for me, thanks. I don't need it.

    I know you're talking about Plumlee, but I feel like you're talking about Aminu. Plumlee's TOs tonight I didn't mind - he's pushing at the edge of his skill, and that's how you get better. Aminu's, OTOH, were just plain stupid, out-of-control, leaving his feet TOs. I'd much rather see Plumlee dribbling than Aminu.

    We'll see. I hope I'm wrong, but the jury is still out, IMO.
