16pts tonight on 8-11 shooting. What a great signing this has turned out to be by Pritchard.

He was on fire. We needed rebounding too though. Sucks that we wasted the great shooting performances from him and Webster.

 

[RoyToy]

It looks like teams are going to keep giving him his 15 foot shot and Howard is just going to keep knocking it down. He owns that shot.

Do u think he has a shot for the all-star team?

What a great signing this has turned out to be by Pritchard.

After Pritchard accidentally stumbled away from Hedo and Milsap and into Juwan, it raises the question, why does Pritchard have to be forced into signing experience? Why doesn't he look to change up the roster more often, especially at Howard's $800,000 price?

Saying that Kevin Pritchard bungled his way this off season might be harsh, but at the very least he showed he didn't have a handle on what was needed and the type of player they should add to the squad...Just why did Kevin Pritchard decide to go after Hedo and offer him the kingly-sum of $10 million a year, for five years?...Millsap is a player that has started less than half an NBA season during his career and the Blazers are looking to hand him a reported $10 million a year contract?...Simply put, fans have got to ask does Kevin Pritchard not possess the combination of smarts and guts that make some GM's in all of sports succeed where all too many fail?...

One has got to think that had the Blazers pursued Odom and simply offered him the same contract they were looking to give Hedo Turkoglu, of rumored $10 mill a year for five years, he probably would have been a Blazer right now. I think most would consider Lamar a better, more versatile player than Hedo Turkoglu or Paul Millsap so it just leaves one guessing why. If anything one can think that Kevin Pritchard never had a thought-out plan-B and had a hard time coming up with one after plan-A failed...

I guess it is possible for a GM to learn from his mistakes and Blazers' fans have got to hope that Pritchard gets better, at least more aggressive about making backup plans and reaching out towards possibly 'unattainable' free-agents who might just be there long-after most thought they would be.

Does anybody have Wheel's call on this?

Did he drop a Wheel's 3 ball on Kaman? (bewildered, befuddled, & bemused)

Just the all-star team? I've got him penciled in as second team all-NBA right now and 4th in the MVP race, just behind Yi Jianlian.

You've got Yi 3rd? Who the eff is he behind?? Don't you know he's had 20pts in at least 3 of his last 6 games?! Don't tell me LBJ...he's going to be begging this summer to play in Yi's shadow. Except that Yi doesn't have a shadow...the glow emanates from him.

One of the top five plays of the year for the Blazers no matter what happens the rest of the way. That was awesome watching it as it happened!
