I'm beyond delirious about this Blazer win, but I have to tip my hat to Paul George. I've been watching NBA basketball for over 40 years and that's the best shooting performance I've ever seen. Period. Matthews was all over him and he kept putting the ball in from all over the court. It looked automatic every time he shot the ball. The degree of difficulty didn't even matter. It was totally unreal.

Every time we think about this HUGE win, we'll also have to think about those unforgettable 43 points from Paul George. It makes this victory all the more special.
 
He took the leap in the playoffs last year. I watched him and Melo go at it live in Game 6 in Indy last year and he went toe to toe with him.
 
This game was comparable.

K*be's 65 was like that. Defense (Wes?) draped all over him, and he was still pouring it in.
 
Matthews was playing spot on A+ defense and PG kept drilling 3s. Insane. That last one where Lillard blocked it and PG got it back and still hit it? Chills....
 
Like I said, let PG get his and hold the rest... and for the most part we did.

But That is the best performance I've seen in a very, very long time. Kid is legit. Even in the loss, he was the best player on the court, IMO.
 
Indiana is a great team and George is as good as any player in the game. Great to see two small market teams with the best records in the league and even better that we just beat the other one!
 
I'm a Paul George fan for sure. That man is impressive as hell to watch. It's actually kind of nice to have a superstar that I like so much. Of course I like my Blazers more, but damn if George isn't legit.

Also Nate, thanks for that vid, watched it ad it felt like yesterday. This game can be pretty amusing.

TMAC was amazing when he was healthy. George reminds me a little bit of McGrady.
 
When we turned over the ball after George just made a 3 then got another great look, how he missed that I don't even know. That would have put them down by 1 at that point and we could have easily lost had he made that. Great win for us and yes the Pacers got there star could be superstar. He is legit as fuck.

Yeah, I think my heart stopped right then.
 
His performance aside.

How do you think Granger would fit on this Blazer team and does Portland have anything they want besides the players they cant have?

Mike Barrett's voice cracked when George shot that second three. I had a quick laugh.
 
If George gets any better, the league will force the Pacers to trade him to the Lakers!

No interest in that. But he maybe that third scorer/star that many think we need.

Where will he get minutes though? (assuming we got him)

The Pacers are kind of a mirror image of us. Granger needs to be moved... Although I don't think interest is that high because of his injuries and salary.

I was at that game. Honestly that was the game I gained respect for Kobe as a player and only hated on him for being a laker. Left shell shocked.
 
George was money. Makes me ever prouder of this victory tonight.

Killer is, as lights out as he was, it was his few shots with lesser D on him that killed Indy's chances.

If Indy had a legit #2, I think they win this game.
 
Hypothetical trade that neither team would do: Would you trade Aldridge and Lillard for George? Just for fun lol
