Haha they foul Dame to get 40

 

[julius]

So we let them come back again??

You're always welcome here.

Wiz made a run Blazers held on. Lillard scores 40 and they get a win on the road. These are things to be grateful for.

Meanwhile, Warrior's getting killed by Aldridge and Spurs.

Another thing to be grateful for.

Sweet zombie jeebus on a jet-ski. What should have been a good win turned into a shit fest - and this road trip remains a journey on hands and knees across broken glass. (For the fans, I mean. I'm not convinced the players give a shart right now.)

Fair enough. Ugly wins count the same as good wins. It does not, however, inspire confidence in the future.

Nurkbeast night! Took care of biz! Stopped the bleeding! Beat the Knicks! Go Good Guys!

 

[KingSpeed]

Dame: Steve Blake would’ve been proud of us.

 

[DDolla]

Need another W against the Knicks before the Bucks game

 

[Scalma]

Bringing in Baldwin to play off the ball instead of either rookie...lol. Great move.

I guess that’s fair but to also be fair. The Wiz are not a bad team. They have some very good players that need to put together complete games. They had a couple good runs and didn’t give up at all.

 

[JDC]

Dame always the level headed realist.

Go Spurs.

Except Pops. He can go fuck himself.

 

[Hoopguru]

Rip City!
Many of ya and you know who you are gave up on this team after last game. Hard to believe someone would give up on Dames leadership.

 

[Rozay]

You're not watching the game, I see, or you wouldn't have said "so"

I left after that dame shot and steal then and 1

He’s a great leader and fantastic teammate but it’s what he can do in the playoffs that matters now

 

[James lamphear]

Every win is good! Positive Dame CJ Nurk. Nurk Double Double and probably most complete game for him this year. Negative last 5 minutes of the game wasn't good we totally got to relax and didn't play the brightest at times. Bench need more they got 25 this game. Stotts went the 2nd half rotation like last year with CJ came in with the start of the 4Qt.

That is kind of funny to me.
I always say fuck the Spurs except Pop. Always kind of liked Pops.

He had to.

 

[Almir]

Great win. Could be easier if bench played better, but starters were on level tonight. Very glad for fantastic game by Nurk, no doubt. Double Double and 8 assist, some of them were amazing. Just keep going Blazers!

 

[Rozay]

Ohh damn Nurk with the near triple double

 

[DreamKillah]

Lillard's body control under the hoop in traffic reminds me of primetime D.Rose . . .

 

[Chris Craig]

So sorry Markieff, not tonight buddy

 

[BonesJones]

He’s a great leader and fantastic teammate but it’s what he can do in the playoffs that matters now

Wait, the playoffs matter right now? Not game #17?

 

[Natebishop3]

So sorry Markieff, not tonight buddy

Fuck THAT guy.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Fuck THAT guy.

Go for it!

 

[Rozay]

Yea we don’t want to be the raptors of the west. Great reg season team then do nothing in the playoffs

 

[BonesJones]

Yea we don’t want to be the raptors of the west. Great reg season team then do nothing in the playoffs

So we just shouldn't focus on doing well in the regular season? Okay. Maybe we should bench all our starters until playoffs then so they don't get hurt..

 

[TBpup]

The Good:
We had a 20 point lead and then a 29 point lead

The Bad:
We gave up a 15-0 run after the 20 point lead and the Wiz came within a wide-open '3' of trimming the 29 point lead down to 5.

Oh well, a win is a win but with the next game coming up right away, they needed to hold that 2nd lead and let Dame/CJ rest. 39 minutes is too many with a back-to-back on the horizon.

 

[tykendo]

Quality victory, even though it got a little ragged in the 4th. Starters were great, but the bench has got to get their act together. And soon. Reminded me of the game Portland came back against Houston with their bench. Got a little scary. They weren't missing. And the refs start to overlook the physicality against the team that's up. But a good win it was. Dame, Nurk & CJ were outstanding.
