    I'm annoyed at the turnovers. That was our biggest problem in the preseason (yes, I know the games didn't count), and he was our biggest perpetrator. Keeping out of foul trouble is great, but it's not terribly valuable if you keep giving the ball to the opposition.

    Greg does other things than not pass the ball and shoot.

    If the Blazers keep up this free throw malaise, I'm not sure I will make it through the season.

    It's not like Greg was making stupid passes or something. The guy had the ball poked away a couple times. It happens. calm down.

    Are you watching the game? Hoops is more about the stat sheet.

    I must say, my offseason trade for a 58" plasma is paying off.

    Don't be obtuse; you know what he's saying. Early success for Travis often leads to a ball-hog mentality. Hopefully he can continue to play within himself and prove the doubters (including myself) wrong.

    No, he's supposed to take smart shots. As I posted earlier, I want him to take the open three every single time -- just not the jump-stop-spin-heave-with-three-hands-in-his-face shot.

    It looks like the Wizards are casting a spell on those Mavericks. 85-77 with 7 min left!

    Greg will probably average more rebounds than Travis will get all year.

    Blake is not good

    Our refusal to take it to the basket is going to kill us

    Are you planning on doing this the whole game? It would be great to know in advance.
