Great Win! Feels good to get a blow out for a change

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Looking at the box score... 42 bench points?! Nice!!

 

[rasheedfan2005]

Who had the most outrageous prediction?

Probably me. I never doubted

 

[LuckyShot]

Dirk had 2 points after halftime?

 

[Natebishop3]

Portland's 21-point win (108-87) marks its largest win in the series against Dallas since March 14, 2002 (26, 132-106).

Really? I thought we shelacked them last year.

127-111

I think it was me actually

 

[noknobs]

My thoughts:
Great job Blazers.
Fuck you refs.
Goodnight.

Chris Kaman is the first Trail Blazers reserve with at least six field goals made without a miss since Juan Dixon (6-6 on Nov. 11, 2005).

 

[PHXBlazer1]

We won by 21 taking 13 less shots than Dallas and had the same amount of made FT's. Defense.

Shots made during warmups don't count for Juan.

Wasn't that the game where the bench blew a 30 point lead in "garbage time" and Stotts had to put the starters back in.

 

[Schilly]

Defense? Check... Bench that can play? Check...

 

[magnifier661]

If we keep this defense up, we will be elite

I just checked you were a little more ridiculous than me but I might beat you still because of point differences

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Blood is being cleaned up..

Damn, wth happened to this poor lady?

 

[magnifier661]

I just checked you were a little more ridiculous than me but I might beat you still because of point differences

Yeah mine was like 23

 

[BrianFromWA]

is Rachel Nichols wearing "TV makeup", or regular that's looking purplish b/c of Moda Lighting?

 

[Natebishop3]

Once again, no love for our defense. It's Dallas playing bad and not us playing well.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Chuck is such a hater

 

[SlyPokerDog]

PR is going to issue a statement about the woman stretchered off after Coach Stotts' press conference.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

This was a Spurs like performance. Shooting 51% with lockdown defense. We're growing up

 

[BrianFromWA]

It's going to come down to guys like CJ McCollum and Meyers Leonard"- Chuck

Bullshit. Is it down to Matt Bonner and Jeff Ayers for the Spurs? Is it down to Festus Ezeli for the W's? JJ Barea and Al-Farouq Aminu?

C'mon, Man.

 

[Natebishop3]

Why the hell do they think Dallas has a good bench? They're fucking horrible. HORRIBLE.

Barea? Yuck.

Richard Jefferson? lol

Devin Harris? He has been cast off by three teams in the last three or four years.

I don't get the love. I have never been impressed by Chandler Parsons, and I think guys like Tyson Chandler, Jameer Nelson, and Jefferson are washed up.

No. According to ESPN it's entirely because Dallas' rotation on defense was bad.

I'm totally fine with them sleeping on us again.

 

[magnifier661]

I'm totally fine with them sleeping on us again.

I hope they do

 

[Boise Blazer]

Well I guess the silver lining with the lack of love is that we will have another year of flying under the radar

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Defense and the bench. Portland held Cleveland to 36.5% shooting. Held Dallas to 36.7%.

 

[noknobs]

I'm totally fine with them sleeping on us again.

I prefer it that way too. But it's sure annoying.
