I love when we get >50 rebounds.

Meyers is going to be an elite rebounder.

He might be an elite shooter. 50-40-90 is ridonkulous for a big man!

Yeah, I love rebounds. If you control the boards, you control the game.

I triple like this.

He's got the Dennis Rodman form down cold.

They're like twins. Separated at birth. Maybe Rodman is his dad?

I feel like like I'm watching this game at the MSG or Staples Center, What was with all the organ sounds this eve?

Great game from the home team. Portland came out from the start and didn't mess around. Everyone chipped in and the ball movement was on point tonight!

RoLo was a monster tonight ... cleaning up the boards, executing the pick & roll, and doing everything in-between. I still say we are at our best when we look to get Robin going early and often. He's a big with a soft touch, but I've felt like we haven't looked for him much this season on offense. With teams keying on Aldridge down low, he's going to get open looks around the rim.

Still bitter about the Brooklyn game and if we pull off the upset in the Bay tomorrow night, the decision to rest our guys is going to come under even more scrutiny.

Lastly, how great was it that Kevin Martin finally had an off shooting night against the Blazers?!?

I still can't decide if I liked the constant organ music or not. That said, I will never complain about the playing of the Zelda theme song.

I wonder if those two sitting next to McGowan court side had anything to do with it. No Allen tonight.

Just sitting here watch CJ play. His game reminds me a lot of Tim Hardaway of the 90's.

In a perfect world we would jump out to an early lead, rest the starters and get to some extended run for Fraizer, Leonard and CJ

Better yet, jump out to a big lead, rest CJ along with the starters.

I will say that this Wiggins kid will be a superstar. Watching the game, the game is really slowing down for him. In a couple years, he maybe the best SF in the game, IMO. Boy did Minny win the lotto with trading away that stat padder Love. I wonder if Cleveland is kicking themselves right now?

Also, McCollum is really shaping up to be a good player! I love his confidence as of late, plus his defense has been really good. He is especially good at being in the passing lanes and disrupting passes or making the steal.

Watch Minny trade him for Turkeyglue.

CJ actually baited that guy (I forget who) into throwing a pass that he picked off and turned into a fast break. He is getting really good at reading space on offense too, finding the seam. We may have a really good one here.

Yes props to those who argued that Cleveland was better off keeping Wiggins. Even though technically he and LeBron play the same position. True Cleveland is playing well right now, but a three headed monster of James, Wiggins and Irving
would be a force to reckon with for another 5 years. Who knows if Love will even re-sign.
