Nice foul Casspi.

 

[PDXFonz]

We ain't brips tho... we only rep blood bause we wear red!

Looks like he's trying to avoid stepping in dog shit

 

[BlazerCaravan]

3-for-22 lol

 

[LuckyShot]

Rubio with 19 shots, Towns with 16. Game.

 

[H.C.]

Somehow it's still different.

Maybe for a non-shooter.
It's in your head, there is no difference.

I thought that was aminu on the fast break

 

[SheedSoNasty]

Vonleh ignited the run and Crabbe set the place on fire. Good to see those two play well during important stretches.

I think it looks more like "my 5 year old didn't pick up her legos and I don't want that type of pain today.."

 

[H.C.]

Fitting that Turner strips that last attempt by Wiggins.

 

[Road Ratt]

Lol Nurkic

 

[LuckyShot]

They've have 13 years of practice

Good thing they keep getting those awesome lottery picks though. We should have tanked harder to be like them.

 

[riverman]

BLAZERS WIN!!!

 

[blue9]

Yay?

 

[B-Roy]

Love Nurk

I thought Vonleh was exposed last game?

 

[Scalma]

Trade Crabbe!!!

 

[Scalma]

Vonleh fought his fucking ass off on the boards, going up against bigger dudes. He's growing before our eyes.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Allen Crabbe is the second Trail Blazer to make 8+ 3-pointers on 80%+ 3-PT shooting (Wesley Matthews, 8-10 at SAC, 4/15/12).

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Portland improves to 10-5 in divisional games (best in the Northwest Division), including a 7-0 mark at home.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Idk why, but I have a good feeling for the fourth. I think we are gonna start hitting threes at an insane clip somehow, just feels like one of those games.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Minnesota's 11 points in the 4th quarter are the fewest by the Timberwolves and the fewest allowed by Portland in any quarter this year.

AC earned his contract tonight. Im saying... for tonight anyway. Huge win

Turner as well, lights out D

 

[noknobs]

The whole game felt like -

 

[illmatic99]

Vonleh fought his fucking ass off on the boards, going up against bigger dudes. He's growing before our eyes.

His hustle was awesome in the third. But his skill and feel for the game make it impossible to keep him on the floor for more than 3 or 4 min stretches

 

[B-Roy]

Minnesota missed a ton of shots in the 4th they made in the first 3 quarters. Back to back fatigue I guess but I'll take it.

 

[Scalma]

He's been earning it, not his fault he doesn't get used more.

They weren't on a b2b

 

[rotary111]

And the game balls go to...

Crabbe and his amazing 3 point shooting.
Turner with his D on Wiggins.
Vonleh for his hustle and heart all game long.

 

[blue9]

The game ball goes to MIN for being absolutely inept - thanks for letting us eke out that win!

And of course Crabbe - his shooting was amazing. Kinda sad we needed such a performance to beat MIN, but whatevs.
