What the hell was that foul...

 

[KeepOnRollin]

There is Myers Leonard's once a game offensive foul when setting a pick.

 

[Rhal]

Leonard gets one of those illegal screens per game, like clockwork

oh okay, I just saw a rockets player fall didn't see the screen.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Leonard just got 3 fouls in 21 seconds.

[Rhal]

LA's gonna need a 15PT quarter if we want ot get back in this.

 

[Darkwebs]

Barton has looked superb tonight

 

[Rhal]

this leonard kid sucks

don't take the bait, don't take the bait, don't take the bait.

He is a rookie center, they are almost never good. Look at Pekovic, was pretty horrible his rookie year as well.

this leonard kid sucks

And yet a better per than Rubio.

 

[Darkwebs]

Good news is Philly won tonight. We are only a couple games ahead of them. That 11th spot is within reach

 

[Boise Blazer]

Well Matthews did his part tonight in the tank effort. 1 for 11 on threes. Yikes.

Portland got screwed by injuries a few years ago, and oddly enough, they won more than 30 games.

Indeed. 2009-10 Blazers had way more injuries than this year's Wolves.

Patty Mills, Pendergraph, Oden, Przybilla, Rudy, Batum, Outlaw, Roy, and even our COACH had surgeries that made them miss time. All other players, including Aldridge, besides Miller and Webster missed games due to injury and/or illness. And still, we made the 6th seed in the playoffs.

 

[KingSpeed]

i see one season ending injury

Oden and Prz were both season ending, one after another. You guys have had a few scrapes here and there but we had 9 major surgeries.

 

[KingSpeed]

Also, Roy was broken when you signed him. What did you expect?
