    Okay this game is boring as hell. Reminds me of the dark days with the Zach led team. Can't stomach watching too much more.

    As to Mo Williams, just when I shake my head and think he's playing badly, he hits two 3s in a row, gives us a lead and gets a steal. He doesn't make every shot or pass but the ones he does are more often than not, game changers. Mo gets a lot of assists too which noone really cares to mention He also picks up the tempo when he's in the game which we really need at times

    Yeah, it's pretty rough. I'm sure it would be more fun with some drinks and at the game.

    I think Philly is going to bring it tomorrow. They get MCW back too, who wasn't there when we played them last. Shouldn't be another 30+ win. I guess we'll see.

    He gets a lot of turnovers to go with those assists.

    It's going to be closer. The pattern with this team is we shoot very poorly after we have a great shooting game. Probably going to shooting in the 44-46% for the game. Still probably good enough to win though.

    Who are the top 5 PGs off the bench? Not a stat guy or know all the back up PGs, but I would think Mo is in that list

    What scary is if Mo didn't sign with the Blazers, Watson would be logging serious minutes at back up PG.

    Assist wise, he's probably one of the best. His shooting is very poor though. The last ten games have been brutal. He had two good games, but the rest were 40% or lower from the field... and in some games much much lower than 40%.

    How about overall PG, would you put him in top 5 up to this point in the season?

    He's a broken record about it. Embellishes a fair amount, and the negativity and redundancy combines for what amounts to spam threads about who to trade for Mo. Mo is a Blazer, so I say get over it. And, CJ doesn't deserve play time over any Blazer at this point.

    Same as Lillard, although in about 6 MPG less than Lillard.

    I dare you to find a thread where I said we should trade Mo.

    Go find it, I'll wait.

    I have been talking about playing Earl Watson, or finding another point guard, but I haven't been talking about trading Mo. You just made that up. Also, I'll post whatever I choose to post. You can "deal with it," as you like to say. You love to argue with people. It's kind of cute.

    These players aren't your children and you don't have to defend them against legitimate criticisms.

    I'm charging you for a turnover every time you make a lame slight about Mo Williams from now on. You have been warned. ;)

    LeBron has earned the right to turn the ball over. The dude is the best player in the NBA and he's shooting a ridiculous percentage from the field.

    You droning on about Mo, and me defending anyone are mutually exclusive.

    I predict he'll play sooner than you think, if only due to owner tinkering . . .
