Joel played great.... it's the rest of those lugs that are driving me nuts.

Yes, we know.

 

[LuckyShot]

I still think we need to improve the bench. This team is so good with such a mediocre bench.

Would be nice in theory, but I don't want to mess with the chemistry this team has. I also like the guys we have.

only you could find something that drives you nuts about 22-4

 

[Strenuus]

Also, Dame with 36/10. Dub Dub.

Group hug... mind the tits!

What more can you ask for from this team? That was an incredible game by both teams. I thought Portland put the game away being up 10 with minutes left, but the Cavs stormed back, only to have their hearts ripped out by Damian Lillard. Back to back years now, we've beaten them in their place on a last second shot, pay back for Kyrie Irving's shot in Portland. But man...I thought Kyrie's last half-second shot was going in at the end.

I can't remember a Blazer ever hitting back to back gaming winning shots like that!

Is this Dame's best game of his career? 8-12 from 3, 10 assists, 8 rebounds...

I hope Aldridge makes Love his bitch to end this stupid "love is better" argument

Your wish is my command.

Portland's 22-4 record is tied for the team's second-best 26-game start in franchise history (23-3, 1990-91; 22-4, 1977-78).

Thank you

 

[Darkwebs]

Are you saying Victor Claver will save our bench?

 

[ehizzy3]

That's... wow.

right? who knew kidd could make eight 3-pointers at the beginning of his career

Group hug... mind the tits!

Group or grope?

Rip City has now thrown its hat, clothes, shoes, socks, belt and Damian Lillard's Cassell-sized balls into the ring.

Seriously? Only me?

Dude, our bench scored 16 tonight. Cleveland's bench scored 50.

It's concerning. Our starters have had to play out of their minds.

PS: i think Portland has played in like 6 or 7 of the best 12 games this season. They are League Pass champs so far hands down.

 

[kronicase]

Why was Robin on the bench during crunch time?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

LOL! Rep'd

Nic knew it was going in. Started walking off.

Lillard's reaction is GOLD.

Why was Robin on the bench during crunch time?

I'm just taking a guess, but I think Stotts was saving him in case of OT.
