Seriously, have been reading accounts and watching highlights.

Chemistry of this team seems off the charts.

I was wrong about Grant. He's found the happy medium between being a defensive specialist who complements on the offense end and being a star go-to guy on offense really, really well. Seems like one of several guys on our team who fit the definition of "ultimate team player." But the shake of Zion and the two-hand dunk in traffic is one of the plays of the year, so far (btw, Zion plays defense like a cinder block).

To go to New Orleans and beat a Pels team with all its key players and, of course, C.J. while we were missing Dame, Nurk, and Shaedon is amazing. Funny thing to tell you how good this team is playing -- the ESPN radio updates didn't even mention we won in NO but double figures without Dame. Oh, yeah, they also called Ant "Simmons" again.

In their defense, Ant and Simmons are really similar players.
 
Another great Blazers win.

Thought we played really well today and coped with CJ, BI and even Zion really well. BI and Zion playing under foul trouble got us over the line. Interesting to see the small line-ups mostly working, Valanciunas was redundant.

Jerami Grant superb again and we moved the ball great, looking after the rock this time!

Dude you have zero credibility. Quit while you’re ahead (behind?). Like literally zero credibility. You are the poster boy for forgetting about all the dumb shit you write. See below for NUMEROUS examples.
And here you almost quote the exact phrase I referenced.

These quotes are funny, because the brand is doing better than ever with a good coach at the helm. Everything was spot on, and you are as well.
 
Man it's nice to not be shackled to a short, shoot first, poor defense guard. He's well-liked by the team and media, but he just isn't a winning basketball player as a starter, and definitely not given the contract. Sad that we squandered so many damned years on this experiment.

All of this I said the first game after we got rid of Damon Stoudamire. Funny how life sometimes works in cycles.

Blazers are better without Dame?

This question most certainly will get asked. We who watch him regularly know better. Dame can take a game over and "Will" a win when things are going bad. Even this early in the season we have seen it. Just last game vs the Hornets we watched him singlehandedly bring the team back in the 3rd quarter setting up the rest for a nice road comeback win. Not sure this team has another player that can do that yet? Maybe in the near future? Hoping we have that player in Sharp?

Not to be an ass, but the honest reality is we would be just as good had we....I just think this team is that deep. Dame has earned the opportunity to lead the drive.

Having a player like Dame makes this team so much better not just from a talent standpoint but leadership as well. In the playoffs is when a player like Dame can come up clutch and lead. With Grant & Simons plus a developing Rim Shae-dy lead by Dame thats makes a very dangerous playoff team.
