Oh ya, that's a dagger. Let's go home.

That's why you keep crawford, in case other scorers like Beal go cold like tonight.

Edit: Also really liking Webster now and how we balance Nene and Okafor at center. I'm better understanding the Rudy Gay idea because we do need one more guy that can really score to be able to pull out wins night after night. Don't want Cousins and his crazy ***

Wall and Beall were pretty terrible and we still got the win.

Basically no one did much of anything except Nene, Martell, Oak, and then Crawford there in the fourth. Wall's play maybe tread water at best in the second half but overall a negative given that terrible first half.

Booker was OK. Ariza did a little bit. Price was marginally successful. Beal was absent. The depth of the team was far better than Portland's. Portland has a good starting 5 but their bench is without a doubt, the biggest assembly of scrubs in the league.

Beal didn't look happy after the big shot, weird. Probably just frustrated at himself tonight.

He always looks the same. Two expressions: placid, and pissed. He's even keeled. Even after he made his own buzzer beater.

Lillard almost took that game over in the 4th. Easy to see why he's leading the ROY race.

He's going to help get CJ McCollum drafted high. His upside is somewhat marginal though. I think he's actually a few months older than Wall.

Cousins is probably a better scorer than Gay.

Crawf is practically a Jamal Crawford clone. How utterly bizarre it is that they share the same last name on top of it? They've got to be related some how. Long lost brothers or dopplegangers.

BTW, Cousins went for 29 & 13 today with 3 assists. 17 & 10 with 4 assists two nights before that. 22 & 12 the night before that, of course 22 & 16 with 5 assists against us and finally, 26, 14, & 6 the game before that. He's been on an absolute tear lately. He's averaging 21 & 12.5 with over 3 assists for January. He's a beast.

Just one more game to go before this awful road trip is over. Amazing we have had a chance to win all 4 and really should be 3-1 on it. 5-2 in our last 7 games. Different team from the one that started 4-28.

Agreed. This team isn't interested in moral victories. If Wall hits his free throws this road trip is 3-1 so far. Bring on the Jazz!

Edit: just noticed Batum had a triple double. Crawford spoiled the hell out of it. :)

smh, is he really worth the headache? We just got rid of McGee, Young, and Blatche last year to get these types out the locker room. Why bring another one in just because of his potential? Sets bad precedent.

He's worth it IMO. He's immature but he doesn't do the kind of crap off the court that Blatche does.

The difference between Cousins and JaVale is that Cousins is really good and his potential is dominant. JaVale wasn't good enough to live with the negatives he brought to the table. The locker room is in a different place today than it was when JaVale and Blatche were here. Back then, they were the veteran talent. Bring Cousins in and he'd have a pro like Nene to show him the way and his best friend Wall to help him out.

I am a huge Cousins fan but come on man what did JaVale do here? How many times hes been suspended? Hitting, Kicking players, arguing with coaches and hell just being a *******? Pretty much none Javale was just young and goffey.

I agree witht he locker room being different and they where the Veteran Talent both under 25 years old, thats not good at all.

Batum and Aldridge were excellent, Matthews hit some big shots, and Lillard came alive in the fourth. Hickson had a typical game for him. Their starting five is good. They've just got the worst bench in the NBA unfortunately. I don't understand how you let it come to that situation personally. The only guy from their 6-12 that could maybe make our team is Meyers Leonard--based on potential.
