Really good game by our guys. Move the ball well majority of the game and there game plane on defense was to make someone beside Harden to beat them and it and it work. But I was really pleas how they share ball tonight.

No such thing as a bad win - but this is the first good win in a while.

Well put my friend, very well put!

 

[DDolla]

Dame can control Russ lol. Triple Double for you but I get the W

 

[Scalma]

Tolliver can stay just for the reaction to the Westbrook brick.

Once again we can say...

We had 7 more rebounds, 5 less turnovers and even 6 more free throws. Nate would have been proud!

Pretty sure one of the assistant coaches said something and Lillard was trying to get him to just go back to his lockerroom. Not take things personally.
But it's Westbrick. He takes everything personal.

A big road win!

You are all gonna see All-Star Melo tonight. He will lead the Blazers to their biggest win of the season!

Melo gonna have a chance to beat up on two players that dissed him from separate teams in the same game. here comes Super Melo!

Not only the biggest win of the season against a quality opponent. Also a win against both Harden and Westbrook on their court. The best part is it was on NATIONAL TV!

 

[DDolla]

I just love beating Westbrook

 

[SlyPokerDog]

What a great win! That was very tasty!

 

[KSF-ERIC]

We played like it was a playoff game. Well done, coach and players.

Toronto was missing half their team...come on, you're better than that. Dallas was a good win for beating a 20 year old.

Aren't we missing half our team too?

 

[Tince]

The Rockets message board is looking the Blazers message board... People freaking out!

 

[Scalma]

I don’t care what our record is beating Russ and harden will always be the best.

I sure would be if the situations were reversed. Given that we came in having lost 8 of 11, I'm sure they had chalked this one up well before tipoff.

WTF was that team and where have they been all season?

Masterful game plan by Terry and great execution. Glad he got his ass in line after that performance against Charlotte.

Man no one can stop Melo in the post when he attacks the rim he’s either too quick or too strong wish we’d run it through him down there a bit more.

I agree, just seems like he has lost some lift. Lots of times he can't finish, but at least is getting to the line. Would be nice if he was able to get a few more and 1's.

I almost gave your early comments today a "like" just for their sheer audacity!

I loved the forced switching. Especially when he's going against a guard, it's dominant post play.

Darryl Morey is rolling over in his grave with all these midrange shots

Oh and I can't wait to be told that I have no idea what I'm talking about, this win only hurts the team and our season, and it's fans like me who have ruined the Blazers.

OK, sure. You have no idea what you're talking about, this win only hurts the team and our season, and it's fans like you who have ruined the Blazers.

 

[Cugel]

my prediction was dead wrong and I am delighted

So are we done using injuries as an excuse?
