Didn't they have a TO left?

Yes

At the start of the season; did you ever think that we would win 5 in a row?

Not with this bench... but some of the bench guys have really stepped it up. Claver, Babbitt, and Pav.

Did anyone think that Freeland would suck this bad though?

No way. This gutsy team has proved me wrong

Who's freeland? Is she a cheerleader or something?

Yeah me too. Deep down I always believe; but I really didn't think we would be where we are right now. Feels good!

Ya, I like how when Lillard's shot isn't falling early he just starts taking it inside and then starts nailing the outside shot.

 

[MadeFromDust]

Batum with a near quadruple-double with turnovers. Anyway nice win!

 

[Jayps15]

All these close 4th qtr games and comeback 3rd qtrs, I'm very pleased with this teams poise, reminds me of the 07-08 year with Roy. Lotta high blood pressure nights and not really enough total talent to be at the top, but a team that knows how to win a close game and a young guy in Lillard with balls the size of watermelons.

Stotts probably deserve credit for his coaching in crunch time.

My streak is still alive! Batum played with his head up his ass though.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

LMA with another sub-50% from the field.

There was great D on him all night, and he still managed 13/8/9 and a couple steals. Not too bad actually. His shot was not falling and he forced a couple things resulting in more turnovers than normal. He was still very beneficial.

Nic is balling right now. He's doing sooo much out there. Loving his game.

 

[tlongII]

Nic was horrid. He made so many bad passes it was ridiculous.

Stotts COY?

Look at this roster. Above .500 with the garbage bench we have is ridiculous and look at the strides our garbage bench has made.

Unbelievable.

[Pinwheel1]

LMA with another sub-50% from the field.

Seriously? It is statements like this that cause players not to come back early from injuries. I didn't expect him to come back until after Christmas and he comes back and plays 39 minutes, goes for 17 points, 9 rebounds,2 blocks and 2 assists and you are complaining that he shot under 500? Were you being sarcastic?

 

[THE HCP]

5th win in a row and we only get 107 posts!

 

[KingSpeed]

5th win in a row and we only get 107 posts!

People have more to say when we lose.

Sarah Hecht ‏@sarahhechtNBA .@dame_lillard now has 8 games with at least 20pts & 7asts this season, tied with Curry for 3rd most and only trailing LeBron & Westbrook.

Wes not on plane with us........ staying home.

Lol at saying he's trolling.

I'm sure players don't come back early from injuries because of what anonymous people say on a message board.

I'm not trying to troll at all. I was at the game. Nic sucked ass tonight.

+1. Very frustrating to watch Batum tonight.

 

[KingSpeed]

Batum threw a couple bad passes and took a couple bad shots but he didn't "suck ass" and we wouldn't have won the game without him. He's expanding his role to becoming a playmaker and there will be mistakes along the way but we are definitely benefitting from his efforts. He also had a great hockey assist where he passed to Pav who passed to Hickson for the dunk. Highlight of the game.

 

[tlongII]

Batum sucked tonight. He was in a fog or something. Some of his decisions were mind-boggling. I'm a big fan of his, but tonight he was a joke.

Batum's back is bothering him, but he still had good stats even with the turnovers. He was close to a triple double.
