    Did anyone else hear KC talking about a certain @HCP calling himself the "Ed Davis of the Broadcast crew"?
    What do we have to call him "Shirt off Panic" now?

    Baldwin is built to guard guys like Lou Williams so make that happen please.

    Guess you really didn't pay much attention to his defense tonight. They carried him. He never left the corner shooter on defense. Lou would absofuckinglutely torch him.

    This coming from someone who just said they think Wade Baldwin would be a good choice to guard Lou Williams. Then he has the audacity to question the way Stotts runs the rotations on a team that is exceeding every expectation from every major prediction source.

    Yep i sure do have a few stupid random thoughts.

    Next 3 games are all must wins. Should easily be able to do so....but then I thought they'd beat the hapless, decimated Grizzlies.

    That's very presumptuous. Didn't you say before the game that he wasn't going to play? Then he plays and scores 15 points. Now you're saying you're absolutely positive that he has no defensive skills. Let's see.

    There are no easy games especially at this time of the year when a "bad" team is loose and has nothing to play for but to spoil your season and that's motivation enough. Clippers will be tough as their back is against the wall and Grizzlies have had a taste of victory. We definitely need Dame to win both. At Dallas could be tough because again, this is their playoffs. Their chance to say goodbye to the season. Dirk's chance to drop 30 and say thank you to the fans. So we have to be focused. Something Dame always makes sure we are. I would guess Houston won't play all their players for the next game because they will have nothing to play for.

    He’s either trolling me or talking out of his ass. Defense is one thing I have no doubts about when it comes to Baldwin. He wasn’t “carried” nor was he purposely left in the corner.

    Clippers have one of the best benches in the game. We need a vintage performance from the Blazer bench on Friday, led by a couple of Ed Davis flex finishes, Shabazz step-back jumpers, and Zach pick-n-pop triples!

    Also, if Milos is out, the Portland guards need to FEAST on their Clipper counterparts.
