Beat Pelicans next since we are not winning that Brooklyn game then come home and beat Dallas and Utah
 
We actually won a game with…defense? Held the league’s 3rd highest offense to 13 points below their average on 38.5 FG%.

How we won that game with 20 turnovers is beyond me.
 
Tonight Powell was the clutch player down the stretch offense and put up 28 points and Dame had 32 another solid game by Little and Covington. Negative for us 20 turnovers.
 
That was UGLY but...

A road win

A clutch win

A winning streak

Plus even after the knee to the ribs Dame looked like he was moving well and shot the ball well, so I think it's safe to say despite the Grizz trying to make it anyone but Dame after the first quarter... Dame is back!

The rotations were crisp this game. Some of the injuries shortening the rotation has helped cohesiveness IMO.

Powell hitting those FTs was huge. He's missed a bunch of FTs in the last seconds of tight games; glad to seem him knock down a pair!
 
Chauncey he seems to have made a good call with Covington coming off the bench. What's he gonna do when CJ is healthy again? I don't know why anyone would want to have such an undersized starting lineup. While Nassir little is the kind of guy that needs to be in there.
 
Another 'Little' stat:

Almost half of the Blazers offensive rebounds for the entire game. Liking this kid more and more.
 
It's clear to me what's going on here. HCP has incriminating video evidence against many Blazers and blackmailed them into matching his lame 12-18 prediction so he could be right for once. Now we will go on a long win streak.
 
Nice win. We were due.

I've got to think Jaren Jackson is destined to be a Blazer someday, because, from what I've seen, he must frustrate the heck out of Griz fans. All that talent and he teases you with it and then he forgets how to play. Reaches constantly.

Out rebounding them by 18 sure helped.

The other reason to keep him is he's too valuable to be a throw-in in a trade and he doesn't have enough value to other teams yet to bring back equal value for the Blazers as part of a small trade.

I think if we dealt him, we'd eventually regret it.
