    Which one? If Blake hadn't choked in a few games last year, we win the division outright, don't face Houston in the playoffs, thus we win the 1st round, then we win out and get the CHAMPIONSHIP.

    If only Blake hadn't choked.

    Well I could come back with all the miss shots Bayless had, but he did do really well with assists and hit some big shots late. Seems like we have to put down another player to defend a player. I'm actually glad we have all three PGs.

    Miller was borderline terrible. Whoopee, he had 3 assists, and Eric Gordon and Baron Davis took turns clowning him.

    Haven't paid much attention. Has he played in a game yet?

    I actually am a big Mills fan. I could see him being a playmaker in this league.

    Baron Davis seemed to have Miller's number. They've played agaist each other for 10 years after all. Good thing Davis shot his team out of the game to make up for it.

    yah if baron hits a few of those... we lose easily. 13 missed shots is pretty bad. but if la played.... we win by 10 easy

    If GO, Przybilla, Batum, Outlaw, etc play... Shoulda, coulda, woulda... What if?

    I'm damn impressed that these guys are playing some ball without some key components.

    That's fine, you don't have to think Bayless did well tonight. I wasn't putting Miller down, I was just merely stating that Bayless was doing a bit better tonight with his passing (and something I am excited about because I want him to have a future here), but the fact is, Miller did not do anything well in tonights game.

    Ya never know. Pendergraph and Dante made some plays tonight. Would LA have rebounded as well as Pendergraph did? Ya never know.

    Yeah, great job by Jeff.

    Although if we don't have LA next game, who would've thought our rotation on the front line would be Juwan/Pendergraph/Cunningham/SBo? haha.. wow..

    Let's just ask, "Would LA has rebounded...?" He'd have had some rebounds, but he wouldn't have matched JP.

    LMA has gone 18/10 over the past 5 games before tonight.

    Impossible. Pendergraph didn't dominate in college.

    Miller got 6 points on 7 shots, Blake 10 on 8 shots, Miller 3 assits to 2 for Blake. Miller did it in 8 less mins than Blake. If Miller had a terrible game than Blake had just as bad of one.

    I love Lamarcus (didn't want some LA fans saying I love LA) as much of the next guy, but I'm not going to go by LA's last five games when looking at his rebounding abilities. Thus far in his career, he leaves something to be desired as far as rebounding. He's Sheed without the explosion. To date, he hasn't proven that he's a legit rebounding machine.

    I'm just pointing out a fact. LMA has rebounded more since the centers both went down. At least he's shown he can rebound if necessary.

    Hey, it's an opinion. I feel BLANKY helped the team more than Miller did tonight. If you don't agree, no biggie here. :cheers:

    A fact that's a short-term trend, not something that he's done over his entire career. The Blazers rebounding percentage has gone down since GO and Joel went down. That means we're rebounding fewer available rebounds (which is to be expected). Thus, there are more opportunities for guys to rebound. LA should be averaging 10 a game and then some.
