[LuckyShot]

Mike Rice called that last play perfectly.

 

[Daweez04]

Ok.. NOW you chant MVP.

 

[BonesJones]

After this game Dame will be averaging 26 and 7.

 

[Sinobas]

Thank you Gortat for giving Lillard 2 more points

 

[VenomXL]

B-b-b-allgame.

 

[LuckyShot]

Dame gets to 40

 

[Strenuus]

Dame got 40.

 

[KingSpeed]

Washington needed this one and we were exhausted from trip and were down 13, but we rallied back and won in OT. GO BLAZERS! 6th in West!!!

 

[Natebishop3]

Not an all-star.

 

[LuckyShot]

Way to be resilient.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Damian Lillard has recorded his third career game of 40+ points and 10+ assists, most by a Trail Blazer since Clyde Drexler (3).

 

[Sinobas]

Maybe the Blazers should pick up Sessions in the offseason, that guy is a hard nose player. I like Roberts too though.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Haha thanks to Gortat I covered the 6 point spread!

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Damian Lillard joins James Harden (4) as the only NBA players with multiple games of 40+ points and 10+ assists this season.

 

[santeesioux]

I wish Wheels would stop calling him "E-D", all I think is erectile dysfunction when I hear that.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Very nice win. But 20 turnovers is not acceptable. On to the next one.

Go Blazers! Goodnight.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Portland is now 16-6 in overtime games (7-1 at home) since 2012-13, the season Terry Stotts and Damian Lillard joined the team.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

The Trail Blazers have swept the season series against Washington for the first time since the 2008-09 season.

 

[LuckyShot]

Maybe the Blazers should pick up Sessions in the offseason, that guy is a hard nose player. I like Roberts too though.

Bad shooter, bad defender. One trick pony.

 

[riverman]

And the Lillard tour does it again! Great win..monster game from Dame!

 

[illmatic99]

Man, it seems like we need Dame to get 40 to win every time. Boy's ballin out tho

 

[LuckyShot]

Dame was great, but we won because of Ed Davis.

 

[jlprk]

Well, that game took me more work than usual, but at the end my psychic powers predominated as usual.

 

[VenomXL]

I love Dame so much. What a great walk off interview.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Lot of big shots tonight, and one of the biggest was Leonards 2 pt shot after Dudley hit the 3. That was a pressure shot that we had to have....... and he nailed it . It shows that he is mentally tougher than a lot of us give him credit for.

Dame and Ed and Hendo all were fantastic.
And of course CJ came through in the clutch as always.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Well we didn't play that great but gutted out the win. I'm happy

Damian Lillard since the All-Star game: 51 30 34 23 31 33 30 20 50 26 41 He's balling out...

 

[cardova08]

I think we learned some things. Scratched out a win against a team that was short handed that won't make the playoffs in the East. They've got some tough players and I thought they were tougher than the Blazers at the end of regulation. The last defensive stop and the tough rebounding by Davis, Meyers (yes Meyers) and Plumlee in OT are what I'll take away from this game. Gotta be tough and I think they proved it late. Yeah and Dame is a stud and CJ can hit big shots. Hendo played tough too, need Crabbe to start hitting 3s more consistently. Solid, tough win.

 

[SlyPokerDog]
