    Couple of silly plays from Montero before that last timeout, once on offense, and one on defense. But overall, the commentators seen really high on him. "Taking over a D League game, as an NBA player should do."

    Commentator says the guys who have never, ever committed a foul are in order 1) Mychel Thompson (who is currently complaining) and 2) Cameron Jones.

    No time to watch your video, Ripcityboy, but keep on posting!

    M brings it down like the playmaker he thinks he is, passes to where he expects his teammate to be, but he isn't. Out of bounds. We are down 82-81 at the end of the 3rd.

    Vereen too fat to roll to the hoop to get a good drive and dish from Montero. Goes in the books as Montero's turnover, but is the fat guy's fault.

    He tries to dominate, and succeeds half the time. The Blazers are calling him back after this game, and shouldn't. His confidence is increasing and he needs this experience.

    M comes out of nowhere, rejects one, brings it down coast to coast, shoots, out of bounds as usual. Mychel Thompson making great plays, but I'm reporting our 2 guys mainly.

    Vereen does not equal Verdell. Verdell Green starts at guard. Fat Vereen subs and just made some great play while I typed. I think I got them mixed up earlier. We are up 87-81 from some great plays not involving our 2 players.

    Don't neglect to mention that the block was of Dakari Johnson, a true center who played at Kentucky and was (IIRC) touted in high school as the player most likely to become the next big time NBA center. FANTASTIC block.

    A is a great cheerleader on the bench, is cheering Vereen's plays, not his rival for time at all.

    Often I'm typing while listening and the commentator is excited but I miss seeing it and just report it blandly. That's why we need more posters, each filling in each other's gaps. There's a lot of game not involving our 2 guys that I'm not reporting. Need more posters! Our two guys have been out the last couple of minutes. 92-92, 6:24 left.

    A bumps, turns around, baby hook in, best move in all his D-league games per the commentator, I missed it due to typing.

    Yes, per the commentator earlier in this game. Actually 4 games is about the longest stay I remember for a Blazer send-down in recent years, since before the days of Patty Mills being sent down. I think Babbitt and Armon Jones, maybe stayed there onc time that long.

    Jones dumps off to A who stuffs it. M has been out for a long time after playing so well. Now in.

    Free ice cream for the crowd as A makes an easy layup. No one to guard him. 100 points gets free ice cream.

    I wish the Blazers would leave the 2 guys where they are. A has looked good while M was out, getting blocks and points.

    M blocks, it falls into A's hands, so he gets the rebound. M plays both outside and inside. We lead 104-98, 2:28 left.

    A fouls. Later tries a power move under the basket but lacks the height to pull it off over the opponent.

    M doesn't know what to do on defense, Blue player takes it in for the score, ties it. Fuck.

    Later makes up for it: misses on fast break but is fouled trying while tied at 104 with 1.8 seconds left, he shoots free throws 2-2 we lead by 2!!!!!
