Game Thread GAME# 60: BLAZERS @ SUNS - FEBRUARY 24, 2018 - SATURDAY, 6:00 PM (PST), NBCSNW

So barely stole a game in the closing seconds from the worst team in the league? RAAAAAD!!! SUPER EXCITE!

I look at it as a lucky close win as opposed to several unlucky close losses we had early in the season, these things tend to "even out" over the course of an 82 game season and last nigh was an example of that, Dame had a helluva game

The troll theme of this win should've been "Live by the 3, Die by the 3", not "stole a game against the worst team in the league".

Through 43 minutes, POR 3-27 from 3, down by 11. Last 5 minutes, Dame and CJ 3-3, we win by 2.

So was that a great win wrapped up in a shitty performance, or a shitty performance wrapped up in a great win?

Either way, you need those types of wins

It's all about the endgame...

Thanks to those who posted video. I kept watching NBA TV last night and never saw highlights. Warriors/Thunder 3 times, Celtics 3 times, King/Lakers, but not Portland. A game with playoff implications, an unlikely comeback, a superstar performance, and a buzzer beater but it got, maybe, 20 seconds? At any rate I never saw coverage.

Wait a second. I thought that was a road game. And why was the MODA painted like the Suns arena? Exciting win for the Blazers faithful.

That was NAAAASSTY!!!

Good thing none of that negative stuff matters. I thought Triano had the Suns playing inspired defense against a visibly tired and sluggish Blazers team. No one on the Blazers could make a shot. Then Dame went All Star Mode and carried the team to victory. It was spectacular.

Great win!

Ps. I just got a new Samsung Note 8. There is a cool feature where I can turn any part of my screen into a gif in about 3 seconds. So, if you want a Trail Blazers gif, just send me a video and I'll make it happen. Word .

Nurk in Dame's ear, "Tell em what it is".

You called it. That's almost exactly what happened.

I watched the Suns feed. Their commentators had a ton of good shit to say about Dame all night. Tons of Blazers fans in attendance too.

Didn't get to watch any of this (son's birthday party), but Dawkins has me covered...

 

[Eastoff]

I wonder if Nurk is wearing off on Damian.
