Fuck you refs. Fuck you Houston.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Our starters are good. If we can add a bench this off season we could be really good

 

[Pinwheel1]

Great game by Harkless, Crabbe and Aminu too (even though he took two 3's down the stretch which I hate)

 

[BonesJones]

LMAO Nurkic cracks me up

 

[PDXFonz]

That's why Spurs threw the game last night.

I wouldn't go that far, lol.

 

[H.C.]

Lillard with two clutch plays.
Pass to Nurk on the roll after he blows past the "lillard stopper". for a wide open dunk.
Then he blows by him again for a layup.

 

[Superbeard]

Houston, we have a meltdown.

Top 5 record with an elite player that may win MVP...we'll be alright

Good win for you guys though!

 

[Scalma]

Harkless had his best game of the year. Shut down that bitch

 

[Darkwebs]

Once again we can say ...

FUCK HOUSTON!!!!

 

[Sinobas]

Nice win, I thought Portland was going to choke it away with how they were struggling most of the 4th. Also it was typical shannanigans with the refs.

Crabbe and Harkless made up for CJs bad night, they combined for 34 points on 15-23 shooting.

One thing I'm wondering though, is what happened to the Nurkic passing from the post?

 

[A$AP Meyers]

This team is brand new. Incredible how one guy can transform a team's identity with just a little bit of attitude and physicality.

 

[Red Rooster]

Yo, this is a completely different team. This team is damn good....real good...

 

[B-Roy]

MARRY ME NURK

 

[julius]

Wow, notch another one in the win column!

2 Blazers with a double-double (Dame 31 points & 11 assists, Nurkic 19 points & 11 rebounds)

Almost was 3, with Aminu having 15-9 I believe.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Portland has won a season-high five straight games and eight of the past nine overall. Only Golden State has a longer active win streak (9).

 

[B-Roy]

Damian Lillard: He (Nurkic) has made us a MUCH MUCH better team.

Hell yeah he has.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

The Trail Blazers improve to 13-3 in March and will finish with the best record in the NBA this month.

 

[A$AP Meyers]

Not on Lillard's ass anymore?

No because he's been playing arguably better basketball than anyone (besides WB) since the ASB. I have maintained all year that I don't hate Lillard. I will always give credit where its due.

 

[julius]

Nurk with the "dame time" pantomime...god damn I love that man.

 

[PDXFonz]

Dame played well this game but Harkless was MVP for his hustle and defense on Harden.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Nurkic checking his watch!

 

[LuckyShot]

5 wins in a row!

First 5 game win streak of the year, isn't it? Pretty good timing I guess.

 

[noknobs]

Lillard saved the day. He had a great game. Beverly's a bitch.

 

[KingSpeed]

Running to Denver forum....

 

[BrianFromWA]

LOL Nurk knows whattime it is.

 

[KingSpeed]

First 5 game win streak of the year, isn't it? Pretty good timing I guess.

Yep

 

[Hobbesarable]

Almost was 3, with Aminu having 15-9 I believe.

Yes, it was close with Aminu.

 

[LuckyShot]

We lost right Tunchi ?

He and his clones will be quiet for a while.

 

[Pinwheel1]

good sign we can win with either Dame or CJ having an off night. Luckily one seems to always be on.

 

[illmatic99]

Wow. What a win
