[DDolla]

I NEED A NEW OXYGEN TANK!

Hahaha me too Great game and Great win

 

[BonesJones]

Great win!

 

[CupWizier]

Awesome finish as we got tough at both ends.

 

[illmatic99]

unbelievable finish.

 

[H.C.]

Kanter played GREAT.
He forced Detroit to play drummond basically the entire second half. Simply because ZaZa couldn't check him.
Big part of the win tonight.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Good game.

 

[DDolla]

Turner with his average of 3 turnover a quarter, great job ET

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Sigh.

Tired of winning huh?

 

[cityofroses]

That was exciting

 

[H.C.]

Someone better with this stuff than I. Can they post a gif of the dunk nurk put on griffin late tonight?

We had 6 players in Double figures are bench score 40 points. Curry Kanter Collins did nice job off the bench. Defense the last 2 minutes in the game was the difference. Nice win tonight by the Blazers.

 

[wizenheimer]

But they can afford Turner and Meyers, who shouldn't be playing a single minute and who will make $4M less than Griffin next year?

I have no idea how you can say the Portland can't afford that 4-man combo.

no idea?

Griffin 35.5M/year
Dame 30.5M/year
CJ 28.5M/year
Nurk 12M/year
Harkless 11.5M

118M

next year cap is 109M and tax line is 132M. Portland would have to add at least 8 players for less than 20M next season just to stay under the tax. If they wanted a competitive team they'd probably have a tax bill north of 30M; and Paul Allen isn't the owner anymore. That's how I can say Portland couldn't afford that 4 man combo

 

[James lamphear]

Just bench Turner please

I getting to agree with that but Stotts won't.

That was a fun game! Detroit is pretty damn good. Hard nosed defense & clutch finish by the Blazers.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Zach played a huge role in this game.

Dwayne Casey is a very good regular season Coach.

@SlyPokerDog @BonesJones

That was Nurksty

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Harkless with four assists; played smart tonight.

 

[Darkwebs]

Turner with his average of 3 turnover a quarter, great job ET

But look at his amazing ball skills:

 

[Jade Falcon]

Tired of winning huh?

 

[illmatic99]

dame putting up 28/9/4 on 49/41/91 shooting splits this month. Ridiculous. save it for the playoffs!

 

[Jade Falcon]

The Other Side will be updated soon.

 

[Chris Craig]

I guessed this correctly in my pregame prediction. I also guessed correctly on distributor and bench and starters scoring....damn

 

[wizenheimer]

Portland is tough to beat when Dame is in superstar mode and Harkless is contributing on both ends

Jake and ET sure aren't earning more playing time

 

[illmatic99]

crowd got into their heads late in the game. dame's 4pt play set it off

 

[riverman]

I guessed this correctly in my pregame prediction. I also guessed correctly on distributor and bench and starters scoring....damn

showoff!

 

[Chris Craig]

showoff!

Has anyone else done that yet...three for three?

 

[riverman]

Has anyone else done that yet...three for three?

This calls for a special investigative committee ….I'd say Schilly, BNM elprez and jlprk for balance
