I'm glad the league got to see this game on national tv

 

[Everything Beagle]

Things I'm seeing as I watch the first half: We imposed our tempo on the Clippers. We executed a run-them-outta-the-gym offense to take advantage of our youth and their age. We can impose our will when we focus. We didn't shoot better, but we shot way more (91 shots vs 76 shots).

very good win.

This is some AAA-Grade basketball.

I appreciated the team using Michael Holton as the analyst. He's a good fit with Calabro, perfect for a national TV game.

Just looked at the schedule, This next game we need to approach the way we did tonight because the following three games are going to be tough.

Was Michael on the radio tonight?

Now is the time to put together a win streak.

He was on TV with Kevin; I don't know about radio.

LOL Scoot guarding Lopez and forcing the turnover is the hidden highlight of the night, that was rad.

That was really fun watching a Blazers team play well on the road in a meaningful game. It’s been a minute since the last time. Going to savor this one for a while.

I'm so glad Deni feels better, he looks fantastic.

I like Holton. Never sugar coats anything.

 

[Everything Beagle]

I hope Donovan was taking notes; Brooke Lopez is a great role model for him.

wait..the game was on Blazervision??

DAMNIT...I thought since it was on Peacock/NBC it wasn't on Blazervision.

Main issue to look at as well is turnovers IMO. Not sure about league average but 14 TOs this game vs 24 in the previous is a big dif. Taking care of the ball very well for 3Qs. Need to get better at it during double teams and the team can create a constant +10 to the average.

I love this team. I'm so glad I took a flyer on Blazervision, too. This season has 100% been worth it.

Biggest win of the season for sure.

Winning record - impressive.

Blazers control their destiny for the 8th seed. 8th vs 9th seed might be the biggest drop off in seeding after the 6th/7th playoff/playin.

 

[TYDame]

So can we win 50 next year?

How do we control our destiny? Clips can still tie us even if we win out.

Blazers have the tie-breaker, better Conference record.

Now is the time to put together a win streak.

The only thing I'm thinking about is that our players and coaches better not be looking past the Pels or we might see them start a losing streak. Get that win and then win one out of the next three and finish with a win against the Kings and I'll be very happy.

Is tthere a video of Cronin and Dundon having an animated conversation during the game?

I might actually agree with you on this. I think we have seen his best. I think the league is catching on to his frt train style of ball and he is going to be getting alot of offensive fouls over the next year. I think he is a 3rd or fourth option on a championship team. Not 1st or 2nd.
As good as he is, im not a big fan of his style of game.
I might give it next year though to see how the team gels. But he cant be our number one or two option.

Alright! Reverse jinx worked!!! Yall can thank me later!!!

Next few games. Clippers again. Denver and SA all coming up.
Really need to play like this every game moving forward. Build a comfortability with this faster game. Ride it right into the play in and then playoffs.

Jrue finnnnng Holiday, damn earned his paycheck tonight. Team came to play last night

 

[tlongII]

Clingan paint defense is so overrated to me

Clingan gets scored on again in the paint

So is DC going to be your personal whipping boy now? He’s a top 5 paint defender in the league imo.
