    Too bad they gave up momentum at the end. We'll see what the energy level is like in the second half.

    0-8 on the season so far. Not sure he should be floating into a corner...

    Not too shabby Blazers have the lead at half. Need to come out with some energy in the 3rd.

    Good run by the starters.....almost nothing from the bench and they are going to need that on the 2nd of a b2b.

    Clippers had to put Rivers on Harkless to stop him from killing smaller guards.
    I think it goes well for Portland if you have teledavich & Williams on Lillard & CJ.

    Davis can't be in foul trouble. With 3 fouls : /
    Nurk was able to go the last 7 minutes without picking up his 3rd though.
    ET where you at.

    Napier is here.

    They have always been super annoying.

    What kind of vanilla boner says "slaaaaaaaaaaam dunk."

    That has to be the lamest catch phrase ever.

    I would definitely like to see Nurk work on his 3 point shot this off-season. And we need to sign him long term to a good contract. He's gonna be looking for money, and if we want to keep him here, we MIGHT have to overpay. Unless he takes a team-friendly deal. But that will require him to be "sold" on this team. He says the right things in interviews, but what does he feel about those detractors who were on his hype train last season, but now bicker and moan about him?

    Either way, we're not likely to get a better center coming our way. So sign him. We could do FAR worse than him. Like.....Meyers starting, or something.

    I do think the Blazers have a nice flow right now. Playing calm, cool, and collected. Energy shouldn't be an issue if they keep this pace after lastnight's game.

    Aminu has shown that he can play well whether or not he starts. Not everyone can do that.
