    I know you're actually giving him credit but nobody has ever even heard of that stat that you continue to use. It's like you arbitrarily made it up.

    Funny I had ever heard this before but was talking to my wife about the resemblance last night.

    Good solid blowout win..glad to see Dame getting the other guys the ball to score...good to see Crabbe get it going and a huge shoutout to the bottom of the bench! PC, Roberts, Vonleh and Kaman played well. Meyers Leonard is playing really good ball these days....he's looking more and more confident and his passing has been great....Vonleh had a few nice slam dunks that seemed to shake the rust off his shot. Enjoyed the win! Go Blazers! 9 more wins to my 43 prediction which I was thoroughly heckled for making back in November. Shoutout to Ed Davis for the smackdown on Smith after he elbowed Dame earlier...that was not a flagrant 2...just a hard foul.

    I think the word you meant to use was "thug".

    None of those Chicago Bulls teams had an enforcer. Please don't call Rodman an enforcer.

    None of those San Antonio teams had an enforcer. Please don't call Bowen an enforcer.

    Golden state does not have an enforcer. Please don't classify Draymond Green or Bogut as enforcers.

    The Miami Heat didn't have an enforcer.

    I personally don't think you need one.

    The only thing you need is someone (or a majority of the team) who won't put up with shit like dirty screens and cheap shots.

    I love what Ed Davis did last night, tho I think the refs overreacted to it. But I'm glad he did it. Shows team cohesiveness, and togetherness.

    Missed the game last night. But I can't seem to get the archived version on LP BB. Anyone else have any success with it?

    Well let us just be happy I am giving him the credit as I see it. It feels good to be able to do so. I have explained this all I am ever going to do. If you don't understand or accept it, so be it. I find no fault.

    I really appreciated the game and the domination the Blazer team showed. Damian as the leading scorer was not the salient point, he was the exceptional leader.

    The real MarAzul does calculate the A/M for PG's. I has become a habit through years of watching the game.

    Amplitude Modulation. As opposed to Frequency Modulation. It's how people used to listen to music.

    Assist over Missed Field Goal Attempts. A metadata stat use to anticipate the tendencies of the PG. Anticipate the effect of pressure on the PG, will he get rid of the ball, effectively setting up his teammates, or be pressured into the low percentage attempt. Last night, they pressured Damian quite a bit, setting traps for him with two defenders. I thought teams would do this more and more
    as the season winds down. He handled it very well, passing early out of it, and his mates made them pay. His A/M reflects this for one game, an outstanding 2.0. However, his A/M for his career is .65, about standard for a SG, not so good for your ball handling PG. It suggest pressuring him hard, especially since he is the leading scorer, he will chuck it up.
    They did it last night, he handled it extremely well.

    So I had a night....Before heading out the door to the game, I WATCHED my wife select this game and set the COMCAST DVR to record with an hour extension. Ill get to this later....

    Halfway through the second I ducked out early to beat the lines at the Salt & straw.... all the while I hear screams and roars from the auditorium and i'm thinking. "Cool, Ill get to watch that later tonight..."
    So my buddy and I do the same thing for the fourth, knowing we are going to win, we duck out with about 7 minutes left... again thinking i can catch the end at home.
    .
    .
    .
    Then I get home, notice the red light on the comcast box is still on and its still recording, so I hop online and check posts.
    .
    .
    .
    Then I realize I don't have my phone on me... a 32gb I5......
    .
    .
    .
    Then I trace my steps right back to the damn parking lot (after searching every crevice of the CRV....)
    .
    .
    .
    Then I head back home
    .
    .
    .
    Sad and dejected, I have one thing left to save the night. Re-watch another Blazer win I recorded.
    .
    .
    .
    I thought I recorded.
    .
    .
    .
    I FUCKING KNOW IT WAS RECORDED...


    COMMIECAST SUCKS!!! I WANT MY MONEY BACK!!!!!!!!!
