    I think LeMarcus Aldridge is a little bit of fool's gold. He scores a lot of points but takes a lot of shots to do so. His efficiency is just ok.

    Chuck shuts him down.

    Btw guys,

    We have 5 road games winning streak going on.

    Last 5 road games:

    @ Utah: 97-96 (Were without D. Williams)
    @ Denver: 108-103 (No NeNe plus Billups left early)
    @ Detroit: 108-100
    @ Cleveland: 124-119
    @ New Orleans: 91-89 (Amazing win!)

    Last road game we lost was against Lakers: 106-114 (Went to overtime)

    Basically, We have been playing better on the road recently.

    Even if we lose this game, we can win next 3:

    @ LAC
    V. IND
    @ SAC

    If we win this game then we will have a good chance to take winning streak to 8 by beating 3 below .500 teams after it. Our road game winning streak will also be 8!!!!

    Tough game. It'd be nice to win this one, 'cause I have a feeling we will lose a "should-win" game soon.

    Rockets win, 103-98. Jordan Hill (WHAT?) has a big game!

    If Scola doesn't play, our defense will be awesome!;)

    Idea:

    When Dragic comes in, make sure he makes Patty Mills CRY.

    **** just got real part 3: in Portland this time.

    Let's beat these b****es!

    They have not been killing us. They beat us in the first game. Second game was all our's. We threw it to them. Leading by 16 early in 4th at home = no way you lose that game without throwing it away.

    We used matchup quite well but now its a totally different thing with Wallace (new) and Roy (back).

    Lowry-Miller
    Martin-Matthews
    Bud-Batum
    Scola-Aldridge
    Chuck-Camby

    Dragic-Mills
    Lee-Roy
    Williams-Babbit
    Patterson-Wallace

    Only thing good is they are not that tall: 2 6'11s and then 6'9. Disclaimer: both of those 6'11s will play 40 minutes or so.

    Really, the only way beat them is by outscoring them first 3 and then the defense in the 4th like against NOH.

    Watching the games are fun now. You don't even care about the outcome. You watch hoping for shiny individuals to step up and kind of give me an idea of how we can be competitive in the future. Having Battier was strange all season. He was a great piece for a team that no longer existed.

    It's strange to me that we're winning more often than before. I'm not sure if I want the draft pick or the playoff experience for the younger guys. Win or lose, doesn't matter.

    Im excited about the game we all know AB was a momentum killer and shot-junkie.We need young players who want to play together and I think once they get that Us vs. The World mentality 48min a night we will definitely do some damage.The blazers remind me of us 2 years ago.Pesky as hell but They have been working there starters and I hope this time in the season fatigue will set in.:p

    Your perspective, while unpopular, is refreshing. While it would be nice to make the playoffs, developing these young players is more important in the long run. We have to find out what we have in Hill, Bud, Williams, Patterson, and even Dragon.

    Martin has a big free throw made lead over others:

    Martin: 451 (I think he will finish first)
    Durant: 424
    Westbrook: 394

    Three pointers made:

    Dorell Wright: 142
    Jason Richardson: 134
    Martin*: 131
    Allen: 130

    *He can still catch Wright.
