Game Thread GAME# 68: CAVALIERS @ BLAZERS - MARCH 15, 2018 - THURSDAY, 7:00 PM (PDT), NBCSNW

[KingSpeed]

11 straight guys. We should be able to get 12 too! COME ON BLAZERS. CLINCH THAT THIRD SEED.

 

[DollaBel]

We deserve that, carved them up shouldn’t have been close at all. Go Blazers.

 

[SportsAndWhine]

One of our few wins where Dame was less than a +2. Great teamwork!

 

[KingSpeed]

Not. A. Starter.

Dame trusted Aminu when it mattered and Aminu was clutch.

 

[riverman]

Shoutout to Chief, Mo and ET......50 50ball guys all night long...great frickin' defense

 

[tykendo]

Sweet! Got a little tight there at the end, but got it done. Thought Nurk should have played when the interior defense was getting soft, but all in all, a fantastic victory. CJ was amazing, ET was clutch, and Chief made some big buckets. Man! Lebron is so special.

 

[Chris Craig]

ET talkin with Bron for a minute lol.

Great one Blazers! Keep rollin'

Bron saying see you this summer

OK, let's not get carried away.

 

[julius]

I hope some year they start off the season good, have a good middle section and end the season good. Instead of starting off crappy, having a decent middle and ending the season strong.

 

[Scalma]

ET and Aminu closed the game this is our year god bless.

 

[rotary111]

Pat had some big plays tonight.

I love it when everyone chips in!

 

[KingSpeed]

We didn't start crappy. We just didn't play THIS good. Last TWO years, we started crappy.

 

[julius]

We didn't start crappy. We just didn't play THIS good. Last TWO years, we started crappy.

Do you always have to be correct about something, even if it's minor and totally unimportant to the bigger point of a comment?

[David in PDX]

Great win tonight and funny side note: The final score of 113-105 was almost EXACTLY the same as the vegas odds predicted score!
"NBA betting pick, via OddsShark computer: 113.7-104.3, Trail Blazers (NBA picks on every game)"

 

[Lanny]

Winning number 10
was fun on ESPN.
But to get to number 11,
we'll need help from heaven.

I grant you your wish.

 

[theprunetang]

Can't wait for the Quote Book post from this one.

One thing we are going to have to deal with soon is that teams are going to start to get up for us because they want to be the team that ends our win streak. We're not sneaking up on anyone.

They're also going to have to get up for Toronto and Utah. Also, I'm pretty sure Boston, Golden State and Houston are considered plum teams to beat.

And then there's Memphis. Who wants to be the team that ends Memphis' streak?
