    Team needs practice time to fine tune their game.

    Dude, their bench is averaging over 40 a game. That's basically twice what our bench is scoring, and that's how they came back. They blew our bench out of the water.

    Mo isn't as young and frisky as his team-mates. Over the course of the season he is bound to have nights where he shows the wear-and-tear. Tired legs tend to lead to shooting woes.

    Furthermore, 9 home games. Including 6 in a row (right now).

    Not saying the league plays favorites, but have you guys looked at their schedule this year?

    Their longest road trip is 4 games. And it happens once. In April.

    They have like 7 two game trips, and 5 single game trips and 5 three game trips.

    And then look at Portlands.

    Four 4 game trips

    They end the season with two 5 game trips (with a 3 game home stand in between them).

    I feel he has helped win more games than he has lost. Therefore, I consider him an asset to the team.

    I agree; he's won us more games than Taurean Green and Von Wafer put together.

    I think Portland will beat Indiana tomorrow night, I just hope they don't build any 20 point leads....

    He's been a spark off the bench. He and his production is why we have been able to boast about our bench so far this season. Give him a break.

    You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to BBert again.

    Again the team found a way to win with some key players that couldn't score most of the game. I've never followed a Blazer-Laker game in my life where I couldn't name all 5 Laker players on the court throughout the whole game! Credit to those guys! They played a good game.

    I'm sorry. It was snarky, but I do agree he's been an asset. :cheers:

    Our bench will need to play MUCH better to beat Indy.

    I have eyes. I can see when a player is being abused on defense. Apparently Terry Stotts cannot.

    no apology needed. I knew where you were coming from.

    Just got Mo's back for now.

    I'm on board with this. Mo can be really frustrating, but looking at the alternative of not having any back up PG at all (see LA) I'll take Mo. It's frustrating, but it's part of the game. Big game tomorrow night. I hope the guys disable their cruise control, or they aren't gonna do very well.

    As long as Stotts keeps him to reasonable minutes, it shouldn't be a problem.

    That's why I think they will win, should be a close slug fest all night. Rosegarden better get loud, that was the first laker game I've ever watched where I was impressed by their crowds energy.
