    Lamarcus's last moments in a Blazers uniform?

    I know right? Both Lillard and LMA would be torching us. Nick Calathes (all credit to him) of all people is stifling Lillard right now.

    He's gone until Portland offers a 1 year max so he can sign for even more next year.

    underrated aspect of having a big that can score is making the other guy defend him. LMA is gassed having to guard zach on one end and then bang with zach again on the other end.

    calathes is a pretty good defender though

    Why couldn't Portland play uninspired basketball against us last year? This team is done.

    lolol this is when Portland can't miss against us and we can't score against them.

    Memphis and Golden State!

    I wouldn't bet on this. Could it happen? Sure but he has a kid in San Antonio and really wants to be close to him.

    Every time I look up, Batum is missing a three.

    How did the Rockets lose to this Blazers team last year?

    Aldridge's left hand being hurt has been totally exposed by the Grizz. Amazing job forcing him to use that left hand.

    Also Nick Calathes is surprisingly good at defense. I had no idea.

    The question is can Memphis take any of the starch out of the Warriors.

    We actually outscored them the whole series. Every game we had double digits leads in the second half. Leads with 3-5 minutes left.


    We just couldn't do anything right to close game.

    Blazers were a lot healthier for one. Rockets were a lot worse of a team as well.

    - LA turned into Karl Malone
    - Blazers had rarely any injuries so they had Wesley Matthews. He's been out since March.
    - Rockets didn't have the players around Harden and Howard like they do now.
    - Lillard hits unbelievable shot
