How could anybody shit talk this man, he is the REASON we are in a position to grab the 8th. Jesus...

 

[Sinobas]

It's Jake "I scored half my career 3s in the first 5 minutes of my career" Layman

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Damian Lillard's seven games of 30+ points in March are tied with James Harden for most in the NBA.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Jusuf Nurkic has tallied three consecutive double-doubles for the first time in his career.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

BUMP THE DAME TIME THREAD QUICK PLS

Why? Dame Time is the last 2 mins of the game. That wasn't Dame Time, that was Ball Hog Time. Bad, very bad.

 

[Chris Craig]

Winner winner chicken dinner!

 

[riverman]

Good win...movin' the right direction! Won an ugly one!

 

[SlyPokerDog]

The Trail Blazers improve to 9-3 in March, the 3rd-best record in the NBA this month (SA/MIL, 10-3).

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Noah Vonleh has tied his career high with 12 rebounds (2 other times, both with Charlotte).

 

[riverman]

And not even peaking yet!

Dame put game away early and rested for dame time. He must be injured or maybe hates the lack of night life in portland.

 

[julius]

If Damian could play the way he does when he's pissed, he'd be such a better player. And thats saying a lot, because he's already really good.

I would love to see him do some more Baron Davis/Stevie Francis dunks on people.

I'm not sure if we even need him anymore. You notice Stotts benched for the last 2 mins of the game.

Probably in preparation of a trade. I hear hcp talked kobe into coming out of retirement.

 

[riverman]

Noah Vonleh played a hell of a game..between him and Nurk I love our starting front court right now!

 

[Scalma]

Jusuf Nurkic has tallied three consecutive double-doubles for the first time in his career.

He gets double doubles rather easily.

 

[riverman]

I was watching some Rod Strickland with incredible handles and passing on youtube yesterday and my god that guy was unbelievable...I'd like to see Dame and CJ study his game..one of my favorite point guards ever!

 

[SlyPokerDog]

 

[Trackjack]

I think Dame did a great job tonight at both ends of the court. Really pick up his defense. But what he did really good he got Nurk involve in the 4th and that open the outside for open 3 that put the game away. Nothing he did wrong at the end he took ball to the hoop instead shooting a bad 3.

 

[Scalma]

CJ is our key to building a championship contender. And I mean as trade bait.

 

[Trackjack]

Crabbe is the guy I am disappointed on defense he got burn 2 on back door play and in the 1st half he just stood there and watch lee get the ball and cause Nurk to commit foul for his hustle.

 

[GDiama]

The guy got paid and just doesn't give a shit anymore. One year of basketball got him 70M, now he can enjoy it!

 

[BonesJones]

How do we get oquinn in a Blazers uniform

Would be the perfect backup C to Nurkic. Could also play some PF next to Nurk, as he's a very good midrange shooter.

Yeah that's it, he doesn't care.

Another one to the ignore list.

I'm honoured!

Would you trade the Cleveland pick for him?

[BBert]

Meyers has been practicing against Nurk...

That would explain his herniated discs.

 

[riverman]

That would explain his herniated discs.
