Almost 20-8 but Portland blocked a layup.

This looks a lot like the second half of the last game in philly.

Worst game of the season

We could have used some Rudy.

Rudy clearly is not the issue

we have 3 turnovers of the egregious variety; where Igoudala simply took the ball from B-Roy and twice when Steve Blake simply fell down with the ball.

He's playing for TJ Ford

He’s hurt – again. We let friggin’ Okur score his career high Monday night. It was brutal. Still…I like this team better since the Brawl and the 2 crazies in Artest and Jackson. I haven’t fully recovered.

Does Jack have a chronic habit of leaving his feet, finds he has no place to go and then throws the ball away? It’s annoying me.
