    Well, 15 assist for an entire team is extremely low. It does speak to an odd way of playing basketball. Denver plays the same way, but it will likely be exposed against a team that plays team ball. Even the Warrior got 25 assists in their last win, not extremely high, but a significant difference compared to the Blazers.

    Oh, BTW, I do not specifically blame Dame for this. I see it as Stotts' calling card.

    This whole series, our game followed the Toronto-Philly game.

    Whenever Philly won, we won. When Toronto won, we lost.

    This was the first game where our game preceded the Toronto-Philly game. Fully expecting Toronto to buck the trend and win tonight.

    I agree to a point, but I honestly don't remember seeing any presale from the Blazers, or the other teams this year other than Denver. Now it could just be that I didn't look hard enough.

    Terry was awesome tonight. Outside of the Aminu minutes in the first, he was PERFECT. Rotations/strategies/adjustments/timeouts. An absolutely impeccable performance.

    I suspect he stuck with Aminu/Harkless to start the game to see if we were going to get "Good Aminu" and when it was obvious that we were not, he switched it up.

    You just never know when you're going to get "Good Aminu."

    Every time I say "Good season" or "season over" it jinxes the team into doing better.

    I think he'll have a better series against Golden State. He matches up favorably against Donkey.

    That and the problem with Zach getting called for everything. I think if you play Zach any more or start him he will foul out most every game. Meyers had to come in and use 3 of his fouls even.

    Thankful....and feeling a bit fortunate to be going to the WCF after a 3-17 performance. Just wasn't his day but CJ had his back. Props to Dame for letting CJ close knowing he just didn't have it today.

    When the refs let him play, Zach can dominate on defense...... but only when they let him play.
