I think having so many days off might made us little rusty tonight. 4 quarter came off tonight but we Dame and CJ play over 40 mins. Any one know the deal on Aminu tonight. Any win is good win. Now Stotts what are you going to do when Davis out play Plum.

I think Coach was just giving Harkless run to take a look at him instead of Aminu. He said it's not fair to just pop a player in and out of a game for a few minutes and expect them to play their best. That is also why Pressey played and not Frazier. What is great about tonight is that we found our 4th quarter rally unit: Dame/CJ/Crabbe/Davis/Vonleh.
 
Nice comeback against the Jazz scrubs but I don't want to see Dame playing 42 minutes again the rest of the season. The difference between 25 and 30-35 wins means nothing after the season but make a HUGE difference when it comes to Draft position. This season should be about development of 10+ players so you can see what you have for down the road and then add an impact player in the Lottery. THEN next year play the guys who have developed with court time and add in a Simmons/Skal/Murray/Brown/Bender and this team gets good in a hurry with no pressure on the Lotto pick to carry the team.

McCollum had not only 26 points, but 9 assists. Lillard had not only 32 points, but 7 turnovers.

Yeah he tried to get cute, but four turnovers were because Plumlee can catch and run, but not at the same time.

We're gonna be a great team this year. Deal with it.

Nobody in that building expected THAT outcome . . . Plus, we need to win 30 games for me to win my bet . . .
 
It's never too late. Why don't you go to a message board, wear your heart on your sleeve, and publicly admit that you have no prom date?

What do you have to lose? The worst that can happen is that everyone laughs at you.
 
In CJs postgame interview, he said he came out soft in the 1st quarter, and was settling for too many jumpshots so he decided to be more aggressive and he went on a scoring tear. It's nice to see a guy be able to check himself and pick it up when necessary.

Why don't you hold a forum prom at your house?

By doing that he was able to prevent wrecking himself.
 
I must say it was a lot of fun to meet Darkwebs and watch the game with him.

I'll host forum prom, but I have a list of people that have to be excluded from attendance.

Don't exclude anyone, just send your wife out of town for a few days. It would prevent a lot of awkward crying.

Not you, I was saying jlprk should. I want to see where he buried the bodies of his first 2 wives.

well apparently I'm unable to read. add it to the list.
 
What a fun game to be a part of. Thanks again, Sly.

There's some real grit and hustle with this team. Also, a really cute moment with Dame and a t-shirt recipient when he was introduced. He gave her the t-shirt and went in for a two handed hug unannounced. The girl was shocked! It was awesome. Dame is good people.

Vonleh really impressed me. Harkless looks damn good... would like to see him penetrate the lane a bit more, but he looked really damn good. Davis was good, but seemed out of position early in the game, and picked it back up in the 2nd half. Always enjoyed his game. He'll fit in well here.

That team defense in the 4th was sexy as hell.
 
BLAZINGGIANTS said:
The exclusion has nothing to do with the wife. I've seen enough of you all I'm not worried that way. I worry about a few of you jacking my shit, though.

I'm still pissed I put the wrong tickets in the cup. I was suppose to win all of the swag. Grrrrrrrrr......

You gave the prizes out of order.

I know but I wanted Schonz and Rice to pick the numbers for the autographed balls so that's how we ended up going in that order. But it was awesome that Darkwebs and Riverman won the balls.

I thought it was nice that the Blazers picked the Dame cups instead of LaMarcus cups...Could you imagine though!
 
Vonleh and Davis' activity is so fun to watch. The length was fun to watch and aminu didn't even play. I think they'll have trouble consistently scoring but defensively this team could be a real force. They will also out rebound almost anyone
