We got lucky there. We could have had the Chicago game situation against us.
 
Looks like we will squeak by another gargage team.

Nets - depleted roster (loss)
Heat - decimated roster (barely won)
Magic - decimated roster (struggled to win)
Raptors - weak roster with 7 undrafted players (barely win)

Glad we are getting wins...but we aren't playing well. Would like to see them start to improve and build towards the Playoffs. Now is the time.
 
What happened to Stotts' face?

Is he finally shedding his skin to become Hillary Clinton?

Heard Trent smelled sulfur on him and that's why he was traded.

A win is a win but we've also had one of the easiest schedules in the NBA thus far. Once we start taking down heavy hitters then we can start getting really excited.

If we lost all our games, our schedule would’ve been stronger.
 
Stotts just beat Spoelstra and Nurse. He can’t be all bad.

Of course Stotts takes out his rim protector Nurk in the clutch when we need defense.

You can't make this stuff up. He's done this for so many years.

Well Pop took out Duncan... oh wait... never mind.

He's a vampire. Not used to the powerful Florida sun
 
It's a road win, so it's a good win. We actually played so well in the first 18 minutes of the second half that we fell into our bad habit of guys taking turns going 1-on-5 trying to make a highlight shot and letting the door open for the Raptors, but we made enough shots to keep them from tying it up.

One thing really peeves me, though. When DJJ took the ball out and nearly had it stolen by VanVleet with 6 seconds left ... we had 2 timeouts and they're pressing ... why aren't we automatically calling one and taking the ball at halfcourt. That was a braincramp from everyone that almost was a disaster.
 
Just wanted to pop in and check to see if people are still pissed off with how they looked during another win, yep, thanks see ya tomorrow

Another road win!
A bunch of great things to say about this game.
Blazers played some of their best ball all season even without hitting the three ball.
When Nurk gets off minutes restriction and back in good shape he will be huge for this team.
How many Blazers had double digits in scoring for this game?
Blazers could very well be a top 5 team in this league in the next couple weeks.
 
Behind a strong 3rd quarter defensively, the Blazers beat the Raptors to go to 3-0 on their 4 game road trip. Join the Blazers Uprise Postgame Show to talk about the game!
 
Portland's DNA has been pretty consistent over the last 7 seasons: Beat up on all the lottery and fringe playoff teams; struggle against the good teams. That's a formula for making the playoffs, but that's not a good formula for playoff success. I don't see much in this blazer team, yet, to make me think the formula is different this year

You mean stotts formula. He is such a genius that he finished game with 1 extra timeout in his pocket. I guess they carry over to the next game. Unbelievable magic by stotts. Or Lillard inbounding the ball twice on possessions was the most insane thing i have ever seen

The defense is still atrocious. The team’s playoff fortunes won’t change until that issue is addressed. And we all know what that is going to take.

Melo misses the bunny then turns around and exits the play while RoCo is still fighting for the ball. Such a HOF example.

I watched that also. Kind of seemed like he was going after the ref again. It would be better if he would stay with the play.
