I can't do it anymore . . .

Colin Cowherd now irritates me so much that I prefer listening to Hays Barnard talk about how great mortgage rates are for the 9 millionth time during commercial breaks on the MSP than switching it over to 1080 for 2 minutes during my commute on 217 . . . does he even like sports? Does he watch games on TV? Is it just me or has he gone kind of nuts since his divorce? I used to like his show but it gets more inane by the day . . .

Quick Blazer Notes

Newport Sunset

1. Rudy Fernandez should have played more in the 4th quarter, a lot more. He has the most experience on the team in "big games" from his experience on the the Spanish Olympic team.

2. Bonehead play by Joel - love the guy and realize he was trying to make a hustle play but that one really hurt especially with timeouts left.

3. Brandon is not D-wade, Kobe or Lebron in the eyes of the refs. Against Battier those are probably the only 3 guys in the league who would get a blocking foul on that play.

4. Battier is not a stats guy he just wins games and can't be left open - great trade a few years back in him for Gay. Gay will always be a great scorer on a bad team - kind of like Shareef Abdur-Rahim

5. The winner of game 4 is gonna win that series. Rockets in 6.

6. The Blazers have done a good job of beating up on Yao. Unfortunately the team that really helps is the Lakers.

7. Aaron Brooks has returned to Earth.

8. Landry and Scola have played some very good ball this series
