Trail Blazers PR ‏@TrailBlazersPR Portland's 68 bench points mark a new season high (60, 12/14 at PHI).


Trail Blazers PR ‏@TrailBlazersPR
Portland improves to 20-3 when Mo Williams scores in double digits this season.

 

[Strenuus]

42 point 4th quarter on a back to back with the start of it in Denver.

God is Brooklyn a terrible team. They may have great individual talent, but they're a terrible team.

 

[LuckyShot]

4 straight games holding opponents under 100 points. Dat defense...

 

[Strenuus]

7 players with 11 points or more.

 

[BBert]

No one played 30 minutes.

 

[chris_in_pdx]

Jesus fucking Christ, what the hell was that?

 

[maxiep]

This team has heart.

 

[Darkwebs]

I'm baffled at how we're pulling that off.

 

[maxiep]

Jesus fucking Christ, what the hell was that?

An ass kicking.

 

[Strenuus]

40-18 is not too shabby.

 

[PapaG]

The bench had 65 points tonight. There were times this year the bench could go a week and not see those numbers.

OTOH, man, the Nets just didn't even show up at all tonight.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Great interview by Will. Really smart.

Coaching matters!

They looked a step slow all night.

 

[Strenuus]

What a fun game.

Wonder what mixy is doing on the olde forum.

 

[KingSpeed]

What an absolute asskicking. Wow.

Amen. Is there a more impressive win in the NBA this season?

 

[maxiep]

I think we'll look back at these injuries as a blessing in disguise. We couldn't have picked a better time for them.

 

[noknobs]

To think I almost didn't bother watching tonight because there was no way we were going to win with all the injuries... haha


That was... something.

 

[KingSpeed]

69 bench points.

Portland has recorded five winning streaks of at least four games for the first time since the 2008-09 season.


The Trail Blazers have won at least 40 of their first 58 games for the first time since 2000-01 (40-18).


Portland's 18 wins against the Eastern Conference (18-4) are tied for the most by any West team this season (Dallas).


The Trail Blazers complete their 10-game schedule against the Atlantic Division with a 9-1 mark (5-0 on the road).


Portland set season bests tonight for win margin (44, was 34) and points allowed (80, was 82).


Portland's 44-point win (124-80) is the largest margin of victory for either team in the history of the Trail Blazers-Nets series.

My count is 69 bench points.

I'm shocked.

 

[maxiep]

With most other teams, I'd feel bad. However the players on the Nyets were such pricks when they used to be good, I'm just giggling.

The only thing this game was missing was one of the Blazers crawling on all fours in front of the Brooklyn bench barking like a dog.

Earl knocking down a 3 right in front of their bench at the end of a 40 point blowout was a pretty good stick in the eye.

For sure. But only if this makes Stotts utilize these guys more, so that the starters can play fewer minutes through the rest of the season, and so the bench and deep-bench players can develop and acclimate themselves to the speed of the NBA, and prepare themselves for the Playoffs.
