    jlprk has a point on Memphis. Why is Memphis not on that list?

    Toronto has lost 5 straight. They just lost to the Knicks. Look at the Knicks' roster.

    Grizzlies are a bunch of hotheads who crumble under pressure. Look at last year's playoffs.

    Warriors only beat us because refs failed to call a timeout Batum was calling for.

    Houston is a better regular season team because Hardin gets to the line so damn much but Howard makes them a much much better playoff team. Game slows down and its harder to get to the line, perfect for a player like howard

    Barton playing better for Nuggets than Afflalo played for Nuggets. Not drawing any conclusions. Just pointing it out.

    On the flip side, Afflalo is playing better for the Blazers than Barton played for the Blazers.

    Afflalo getting 25-30 minutes a game for us. Barton never got a chance. In Game 4 of playoffs vs San Antonio, he did though. He scored 17 points, I believe, and we won.

    And Afflalo is averaging less than 10 ppg in those big minutes. Just talking though, I'm glad we have Afflalo.

    That is always your go to game for Barton. But he was not meant for this offense, and you know that. That, and that wasn't even San Antonio trying. lol.

    I'd make that trade 100 times out of 100. Barton and Claver, along with Trob were not made for this offense. Claver, actually, may have been for it, but he was just too low on the depth chart.

    Good lord. 10 straight losses for Denver at home. That use to be a scary court.

    T. Jones is an absolute clone of JJ Hickson - inflated numbers, little impact.

    You must be thinking of someone else. I've never brought up the minutes issue before. And I'd make the trade 100 times out of 100 too especially since Afflalo is first Blazer to publically talk championship. Not sure why you're arguing with me though. All those stats are 100% true. I didn't draw a conclusion and say we shouldn't have made the trade. Just sharing the numbers.

    Nah. I know it was you. It's cool, though. We want the same thing, so I'm all good.

    The rockets are 8-0 in games he has started. Take that with a grain of salt as the only good teams were LAC without Griffen and the cavs tonight where Lebron missed 8 FTs.
