    It evened out by the end.

    Interesting stats on Wessy: this season he's shooting the best of his Portland career (47.7%); it's not that he's shooting threes any better (39.2%, same as last season), but he's killer from two (59.1%!) with that refined post-up game he has. He's also playing the best defense of his career.

    The goal isn't for Dame to get great statistics. The goal is to win the games.

    Not quite sure how we'd be 59-23 if we win the rest... we'd be 74-8.

    Wrong. If we lose tonight and win the rest, we'll be 74-8. Learn math, then post.

    Aren't we undefeated without Batum in the lineup and lillard going HAM?

    Yes we are undefeated without Batum... I don't expect that to last, mostly because Lopez is also out.

    Wouldn't that make us 64-9?

    Long term, we need Batum for defense.

    Jesus. What is wrong with your and MM's math skills? You do realize there are 82 games in a season, right? And that 64 + 9 is 73. And that 7+1 is 8. Right?

    Agreed; King Crabbe hasn't been bad per se (he's pesky and gets steals), but he's basically half the defensive player Batum is.

    Such a sweet question it had to be asked twice.
