    We have two days off before the game, plus it's at home. Plus, Houston plays the Clips the night before in LA.

    Robinson does not deserve more minutes. The minutes he plays are usually the most chaotic in the game. The guy straight up ignores the game plan some times and commits some of the dumbest fouls for no reason.

    really? The game against Houston is on Tuesday. I think he'll get over playing 40 minutes before then.

    I like our Big Three over any BIg3 in the league. So well balanced. And we have a great supporting cast. CHAMPIONSHIP BABY!

    Not too worried. Howard isn't a 20 PPG scorer anymore and hasn't been for some time.

    My god you go to extremes. It's really funny.

    From "Trade everyone!" to "CHAMPIONSHIP BABY!" in the span of 3 games.

    It wasn't that I was worried about. Just the foul trouble Howard will get you in and like I said before I thought the game was on Monday :p

    Most enjoyable game I've seen in...hell, I don't even know. Many seasons? I didn't hate anyone's performance tonight. I may have some criticisms*, but as a whole game it was fairly well played. I hope to see more like tonight. Although we always seem to play our best games against the Spurs.

    *Mo hit his shots - and they were all hugely needed - but his offense makes me cringe. I hope he at least delivers consistently so I can learn that I don't need to cringe every time the ball is in his hands.

    I like Robinson - that early drive/lay-up from the top if the key was terrific - but he needs to get a little smarter. Too many long jumpers and silly fouls.

    I don't feel like surfing through the thread, so maybe this was addressed, but did anyone notice how LaMarcus seems to be shooting the turn-around jumper a bit like Dirk does?

    not saying that is a good or bad thing, and maybe it was a fluke thing, who knows.

    Yep.

    At the very least, his shooting seems to be much more efficient....for now. We'll see what happens as the season goes on.

    LMA is on fire. He looks better than ever so far.

    But what I love most is the ball movement by everyone. The offensive flow is excellent

    It's the team that has gone to the extremes. I'm just a fan.

    There were several very entertaining games last year. Off the top of my head, when we beat the Heat, when Aldridge hit the three to tie and then game winner vs Dallas, and the game in which we beat SA by 30 in their building. This was a great game, though, no doubt.

    Calm down there. Lets make the playoffs first.

    Besides, if there's a healthy Lebron Wade and Bosh, there isn't one better. Best in the west? Now that's a debate worth having.

    Woah, calm down... We have a top 10 Big three but not the best.

    For me: better focus and better arc on the shot (when guarded).

    Aldridge= best big man in the NBA, Lillard= 25 ppg, Batum- triple double machine

    What team has a better big 3 than that? We have two of the top 9 Scorers in the leaGue.
