At least we only lost by 9pts.

really liked what McRoberts brought

[Mr Odd]

I loved what I saw out of LMA, Frye, McRoberts, Sergio & Raef.
All of those guys were very active & I thought played smart.
Sergio couldnt finish on his scoring drives, but they all were
in & out'ers. I would of liked to seen more of the players above.

Jack again tried to be something hes not.. .

My fav thing of the night is when Blake was bringing
the ball up the court, not yet passed the half court
line & Jack ran back from up court to Blake with
his hands held out asking for the ball & Blake
gave Jack a look like "umm no im the PG".

Jack finished with 6 turnovers......the entire rest of the Blazers squad, all eleven that plays only had a combined 5 turnovers. Again, that is 204 minutes played by ten players with a combined 5 turnovers, 36 minutes played by one player with 6 turnovers....and yet he is the one most rewarded with playing time. (Like this is an isolated incident)

Given this logic, our beloved Ha would have played 48 minutes every game.

Its double standards in how Nate treats Jack.
I dont know how anyone can see it different.
Unless im missing something??

Bench Sergio!! Move Green up!! Green showed some good stuff tonight

Also loved what I saw from McRoberts. Hopefully he moves up in the depth chart and gets some minutes somehow this season.

And if ever there was a time to bring in Miles to add some depth, now would be the time

I say we bench Jack. Anyone who thinks the guy is good needs to take off their blinders. For every game he helps us win, he helps us lose another ten. The human turnover machine, one of the worst guards at running a fastbreak in the entire league. Any positives he brings to the table are negated by his inability to take care of the ball. Please, anyone argue the above points. Their not opinion, but fact.

[Billy]

I really liked Green's intensity. It's nice seeing a point guard on the Blazers actually press the other guy.

That McRoberts pass at the end to LaFrentz was great.

Pretty much expected a blowout. To nobody besides Aldridge showed up.

i like jack

[BlackMamba]

well, losing vs. a team like detroit for only 9 pts when your top player and leader is not playing isn't that bad.

plus, seeing players like mcroberts and green with "extended" minutes is a good thing to see how they look as a blazer player.

judgeing only by numbers i think green and mcroberts could deserve more mins depending on how the blazers are looking through the season, they both have it tough, specially green.

so, what was the best part and the worst part of roy missing this game?

[Klinky]

The game was worthwhile in letting some deeper bench players get some real experience. Of course Detroit was doing exactly the same thing. It was our runts vs their runts. So I wouldn't really say we could feel good about only losing by 9, as their starters seemed to have left the game before we made a tiny comeback.

[swede]

We would have lost by 40 points if they kept their starters in.
