It is nuts how you don't know if Dame has 45 points on torrid shooting, or 8 pts on 3-19 shooting. He looks exactly the same.

 

[Nate]

Well, when you drink like a fish do you really ever get tired?

No.

We used to wake up drunk as fuck and go on runs. Or not go to sleep at all, and take some shots before we headed out.

Now they give random breathalyzer tests to units before morning PT

Seriously, running is way easier when you're drunk. And you can get your puke out of the way faster.

 

[DaLincolnJones]

Today he did, but you know he that's not always the case

no dispute

 

[Mediocre Man]

Noticed the last few games that Dame and CJ were tryingvto stay in front of their men on defense.

 

[TBpup]

When is the last time a Blazer big played the quality of Howard/Whiteside on b2b nights as well as Bear Nurkic did?

 

[riverman]

We look like a playoff team right now

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Today he did, but you know he that's not always the case

Yes I agree, Lillard should only shoot when he knows he's going to make it.

And what would be ever better is if he would pass when he knows he's not going to make it.

 

[noknobs]

Looks like Lillard time got extended to 48 minutes.

What a game from the Blazers. Amazing performance by Dame and the Nurk. It really feels good to have an inside scorer. I think we can get that #8 seed from Denver.

Huh, I thought Drexler would've done that.

[DaLincolnJones]

cold. they played with three good players..not four, their bench had ours in trouble for most of the game. We did earn the win, but not a give me.

 

[Trackjack]

Minnosota lost today.

 

[DaLincolnJones]

oh man..did you see a shot of their beach..makes our one sunny day in three weeks look like a pile of Sly poop compared to a T bone...I want spring , please.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Rebounding Tonight: PDX 43-39
SIX players with 5 or more rebounds tonight for the Blazers. Reminiscent of the Drexler Blazers, this is what we need every night.

 

[TBpup]

Dragic took 1 more shot than Dame. 17 < 49. #efficiency

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I WANT THIS FLAG!

 

[SlyPokerDog]

 

[Wizard Mentor]

If the Blazers win 9 of the next 13, we get to .500.

 

[DaLincolnJones]

Take Nurk out of the equation, and sub a typical 5 with our usual 10 and 8, even with an historic effort, we would have lost. nAs has been mentioned, This is the value of having three players that are totally above the average

 

[The Professional Fan]

Been fooled multiple times this year that we may have turned the corner.

Have we turned the corner?
