[LuckyShot]

lol that foul call. Oh well.

 

[Strenuus]

Where the Meyers haters at? Go Blazers!

He needs to be traded. Just show him this game. It'll be the one good game this month.

 

[riverman]

Good solid road win! Go Blazers!

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Washington seems like a good team without an identity.

 

[Pinwheel1]

The 3rd qtr was huge to come out and play so well after giving up the big lead in the 2nd.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Good bounce-back win - though it only makes me more annoyed by that egg they laid in Philly.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Mason Plumlee has recorded his team-best 12th double-double, already matching his previous high for a season (2014-15 with Brooklyn).

 

[Pinwheel1]

6th in the west in road wins per Barrett.

Yeah but we're first in attempts...

 

[BBert]

Noah 9 rebounds in 17 minutes. I like it.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Yeah we are tied with Houston in road wins, but have 9 more road losses. I guess Houston could lose their next 9.....

 

[KingSpeed]

Loud Let's Go Blazers cheer during the last minute. Could you hear it at home?

LuckyShot is right. In the West, we rank #9 in overall standings (.432), but only #11 in road trip standings (.360).

Will take the losses however we can get em.

Talk about digging deep for a fairly worthless stat.

9 rebounds in 17 minutes for Vonleh and a MASSIVE +25 in those 17 minutes.

Happy camper here!

He's the secret weapon for the 2nd half of the season....don't want teams scouting him much and losing the element of surprise!

Technically Beal isn't even a starter (although he starts about 90% of his played NBA games). He might be one of the most overrated players in the NBA. Not take anything away from CJ cus he is legit. Just sayin...

He's not starting because this is only his second game back from an injury. He was out for like a month. And he was killing it until he was injured, but he has some pretty significant leg problems.

 

[PCmor7]

Pretty good win. Even though you'd figure the Blazers would come back strong after the debacle in Philly ... too many guys on this team who I think have a positive sense of pride ... Washington, to me, is one of the worst teams for us to try to match up with, and it was on the road. Honestly, why the Wizards aren't better is so hard to understand.

But it's games like these that make me dream about how good we could be with one more decent scorer or an all-around inside presence.

Killing it? Sorry, but no. Unless CJ is more than killing it. The points are there but his advanced stats are severely lacking WAS is basically doing as good with him off the floor than on. Supposedly people want him because he is a little taller yet he is not even significantly outpacing CJ in defensive stats this year. I would love the guy at 10-12 MIL a year. But seeing how he is going to get max then yes he is very overrated compared to that. That doesn't even mention his long injury history.

Not totally worthless. I assume he is looking at it from a playoff point of view. We are a game back of Utah and have played 6 more road games. (3 more road wins)

 

[Blazer509]

Blazers got a nice stretch to even up their record at .500 with nice rests in between. Playoff push starting to come.

 

[riverman]

It's good to be a young and healthy team halfway through the season..momentum

Damnit, dont go and jinx it!

I wanted him before the season started...... not after he went down with two injuries almost back to back. At this point I have been comparing him to Eric Gordon.

Great win! Goodbye DC! 5 1/2 hours to P-Town!

Rice is smart! He knows in the event of a water landing The HCP can be used as a flotation device.

I was thinking it looks like Rice farted and our master photographer was in the line of fire
