And the lead is just 6. Ellington is really coming around to being a very good guard.

With star level players at a couple of other positions, Ellington could be the answer at the 2. Kind of like Byron during the Showtime era.

Clarkson got no help on the break he was on by himself. Sacre with the foul.

Yea, I changed the OP. I was thinking about Okafor and was having a convo with friend about Orakpo. Somehow, the LB made it on the post TJF12. LOL.

That's okay. I called him Oladipo the other day before I corrected my post. Called Cauley-Stein, Cauley-Smith in the same post too.

Yea. He is really beginning to have a consistent game night-in and night-out and the two would be perfect.

 

[Retroram52]

Down just 8 at the half even with playing last night. Not too bad.

Yep, could be A LOT worse.

Clarkson is coming along, needs to continue improving.

 

[Retroram52]

I agree Outlaw. I like that starting five of Clarkson, Ellington, Kelly, Black, and Sacre. It is not a bad starting five and everyone of those players needs more playing time.

 

[Retroram52]

Clarkson is getting a baptism by fire. Ty Lawson last night and Lillard tonight. Ouch, but he is learning.

 

[Retroram52]

We gave up 15 FTs in the first half which was not good.

 

[Retroram52]

Sacre with the 17 footer. Nice shot Rob.

 

[Retroram52]

Sacre has three fouls. The lead is 8.

 

[Retroram52]

Lillard is just unreal and Clarkson gets two back.

 

[Retroram52]

Black has 6 rebounds.

 

[Retroram52]

Black is playing some great D against LaMarcus Aldridge.

 

[Retroram52]

Well the lead has ballooned to 14 and this one is slipping away.

 

[trojanfan12]

It's getting ugly.

 

[Retroram52]

Ellington and Black are not on the same page and the pass is picked off. The lead is now 16.

 

[Retroram52]

Yea, they are looking pretty ragged about now.

 

[Retroram52]

Clarkson has such explosive speed, he left his teammates in the dust and had to fight three Blazers to get to the basket.
