So what? We're winning anyway. Impressive.

So...It's unusual for us. And we're still winning.

Portland really won this game with a loosing effort. We only won because of how crappy Denver is. 5 -27 from 3. Batum with his stupid passes....

Batum is player of the game.

WOW! How did he make that?!

And he was fouled (no call).

1st sweep of Denver since 96-97.

Glad we're done playing them...

Hickson 11 and 5. Pedestrian.

Portland now has four win streaks of at least five games, most since the 1999-2000 season (also four).

another good thing is we hold denver under 100 points.. so in the last 5 games we look a little bit better on defense . this important for the playoffs.. so good to see stotts find ways give this defensiv stability..

Batum is player of the game.

I'd agree with it. He made a couple boneheaded plays, but 9/16/6 is damn good.

What was that shot Dame? Didn't dribble the whole possession and that jab wasn't getting Hickson off him

Earlier in the season he would have just pulled the trigger. He waited, still could of set him up off the dribble, but settled for a bad shot. Dame is better when he's playing the cold-blooded assassin.

Can anyone check what the 1st half FT's were? Because I think we were 19-20 IIRC.

Denver ended up with 35... and it's not like they were uber aggressive. We ended up with 24.

It looks like we didn't even break a sweat winning this game; just another day in the park. We had the lead almost wire-to-wire. We played about as hard as we needed to and won it. You can't complain about that.

No like how did they show him? Backstage doing his job? I didn't see that

They showed the crew in the truck. HCP sits off camera when they do that. So he scoots over and mugs for the camera. Then the Mike's tease him.

Well, finally get to see a game on TV. Seems like a month since the last game.

Looks like some of these guys spend hours while a Tattoo guy doodles on them.

Whats up with this? Why the drive to look like the cons a San Quentin?

Looks like Batum hasn't bought in, sure has studied rebounding though.

Nicolas Batum is the first Trail Blazer to record 16+ rebounds and 6+ assists in the same game since Zach Randolph on Nov. 17, 2003 at DAL.

Yes and Yes. Refs doing their best to cover someone's spread.

They showed the crew going up to the taco truck HCP works in and ordering dinner. Then the Mike's tease him.

FTFY

I realize our competition has been less than stellar since the all star break but the Blazers defensive effort and defensive intelligence has been noticeably better.

Nah. He's been noticeably absent the last couple of days.

Some of these guys spend more time on their tattoos than Meyers Leonard spends working on his three point shot.

More like "training pads". He's still to much of a puppy.

I doubt CJ is in the doghouse. A 10 man rotation is about as much as you can go with. Will has earned the minutes. (all 13 of them) CJ will just have to wait his turn.

Go to NBA.com and watch the highlights for DEN/POR... The commentator (who is annoying as hell) keeps calling Batum "Bait-em"... how Ironic.

You know I like what LaMarcus has become this year for the team. But the team's pulse follows that of LaMarcus's. Granted, he was coming back from 12 days off but his energy level wasn't all that great. And I didn't think the teams energy was that great this evening either. This is a concern because to me his energy has been waning for weeks. When he was out. The team's energy exploded to an extent. He came back and the energy took a dive.

How many of you see this and think it's a concern?
