S2 fans are pathetic. They don't show up for one of the biggest games of the year.

I'm watching the game.

 

[ripmycity]

Good Win. Team is good when they want to be

 

[magnifier661]

Great win

Yes!!!! Thank god we play only playoff teams from here on out. We may not lose a game

 

[SlyPokerDog]

How many years has it been since the Blazers have won a back to back on the road?

 

[ripmycity]

Thunder might make a statement Sunday. They loss 2 in a row and barely beat Orlando

 

[magnifier661]

Thing that impressed me the most is Lillard. They went ape shit doubling his ass everywhere and still shoots 50% and scoring over 20 points.

That is the only easy win this road trip

Back to back wins on road against playoff teams

If we win against OKC, will it be our first winning road trip longer than 3 games this season?

I think so. We are going on a 10 game win streak

 

[ripmycity]

Our bench is struggling. We need to get Maynor some help

No. We went 3-1 on a road trip this season. We won in Memphis, NY, and Minnesota and lost in Toronto.

That would be amazing. At this point I would rather make the playoffs then to get a lousy draft pick.

If we go on a 10 game win streak; I see teams faltering. They will choke knowing we are coming in strong. Also; look out #1; cause Portland is the one team you don't want to face in the first round.

We have a tight rotation; which works better for the playoffs. Also; watching our mid game adjustments; I could only imagine how well stotts will prepare his team for the opponent. Then we have Lillard. Anything is possible

 

[KingSpeed]

I think what is making them still believe is that Utah, Houston, Dallas, LA, and GS still all have to come play at the RG. So they can make up the games back.

Exactly. As long as they keep winning; they can move up.

Any one notice how happy our coach looked the last couple mins of the game? He had a big smile on his face.

Lillard is killer in the second half. Love it!

We might make the playoffs and we might not, but man we will be next year for sure and many after and going deep in the playoffs!!

Trail Blazers PR ‏@TrailBlazersPRhttps://twitter.com/TrailBlazersPR/status/315279949865033729 Portland has now made at least as many 3-pointers as its opponents in 16 straight games, the longest streak by any NBA team this year.

Watching the Hawks a couple of things came to mind since there has been discussion about trading for Horford and Smith over the last 2 years.

I absolutely love Horford's game, but he is NO go-to guy. I would still love to have him on the team, but he would not make us better if it took trading LMA to get him.

As for Smith....same thing. He would add toughness to the Blazers, but his outside shot is still horrendous. IMO he is an excellent role player with the mindset that he is a super star.

Kind of reminds me of Gerald Wallace. Very good player, but his lack of an outside shot hurts his team if he is forced to shoot when the game is on the line. And like Gerald Wallace I would like him on my team, but at some point he has to accept his deficiencies.

Did you not see our broadcast King? We talked about it a few times and even showed a picture of Jay Jenson movie traffic out of the way so the bus could get thru.

Jays like the Blazers little swiss army knife.

Nope. Saw the Atlanta broadcast.
