Think we finally realized that we have more talent than them in the beginning of the fourth and put them away. Just going through motions after that. Game didn't require too much effort.
 
What is it gonna take for Dame to get those Russell Westbrook foul calls? Jeez man, the guy takes a beating
 
Interesting CJ plus minus +- was a fat 0

And trob was only negative
 
Nice win before a nice break. Love seeing 7 guys in double figures. CJ looks good.

That ending was INSANE. Did you watch the game? Portland looked like they were trying to throw the game.

I did watch it, sans panic attack. Even Wheels was calm through the 4th, we clearly had this game and again, no fouls called in the paint in our favor down the stretch. 2nd half was a good game, 1st half, not so much.

Boston is not a team you panic against anymore.
 
Sometimes I think folks forget that the other team actually puts together a commendable effort to get back into a game more so than we are "giving it away" ....credit to the Celtics for playing to win.
 
We played relatively poorly and won by 8. Season's over! :MARIS61:

Harder than it needed to be - but it still counts the same!

Now...time to start worrying about the road trip from hell.

ANd just overlook Cleveland, who picked up Deng and almost beat us a month ago?
 
For a little perspective on those that are choosing to say "why don't we beat these easy teams" all the time.

Portland: 18-3 against sub .500 teams
Miami: 15-8
 
All Blazers except Batum played well in the 4th quarter. As usual, the Blazer scorekeeper credited Batum for about half the turnovers he really had.
 
Maybe someone should tell Batum that turnovers do not count towards triple doubles.

Actually, they do count towards triple doubles or double doubles as well. Kobe had a double double against Sac last year with 50+pts and 12+ turnovers, the Lakers lost that game by about 10 pts. It was my favorite Kobe stat of all time and I wish I could remember the exact line he had..no other Laker touched the ball for 4 qtrs.

Loved Mo tonight. Very unselfish. Too unselfish even: he was so intent on setting up CJ that he passed up a shot he should have taken, giving CJ a tougher shot that he missed. He was also scrapping on defense in the second half. This is the Mo we need.

CJ McCollum: NBA ready since draft day. So cool to see CJ hit those first three shots. No one would pass him the ball during his stint in the second half though. LaMarcus ignored him when he was set up and wide open, passed instead to Nico, who passed to Fropez, but his basket didn't count because of the three second call. Bummer.

Also: TRob isn't the mindless black hole he was earlier in the season before the Meyers experiment. He's learned some.

Kudos to the coaches for taking the time to develop the young players and get them on the right track.

Right when Bayless came in and they were running down the court LMA swiped his elbow right across Bayless's nose. Wasn't hard, more like a bitch slap with an elbow but it looked intentional. A little bad blood between LMA and Bayless?

Also Wallace and Batum were going at it pretty hard for while.

My god that guy from Gonzaga is a ugly geeky fucker. No wonder Zags loves him so much.
