[KSF-ERIC]

Trent best Blazer ever.

 

[VenomXL]

BLAP

 

[AldoTrapani]

Wow this is the best half I’ve seen blazers play in a long time. I don’t Know how denver is only down 13

 

[DDolla]

Let’s Go Boys!!!!

 

[B-Roy]

Holy fuck Dame just embarrassed Torey Craig there. That was a "you can't guard me fool" move if I've ever seen one.

 

[James lamphear]

Well didn't start well but the defense pick up and the offense really pick up.

 

[Labinot41]

Wow this is the best half I’ve seen blazers play in a long time. I don’t Know how denver is only down 13

Yeah amazing 1st half

 

[illmatic99]

this is just elite offensive management by dame. That is some really piss poor p&r defense by denver

 

[DDolla]

That Nurk poster on Bol .... damn

 

[trailblazer18]

Monte Morris: Flint's finest!

Another Iowa Stater...

 

[blazerkor]

Dame and Nurk show down the stretch there. They're so damn good together.

 

[B-Roy]

We are a different team. This team is completely different than the one we left with.

 

[riverman]

I love that Melo and Trent Jr are taking the shots Chief and Mo used to take....big upgrade and when Rodney comes back watch out!

 

[Scalma]

We are a different team. This team is completely different than the one we left with.

I’ll say it Nurk is our most valuable player.

 

[riverman]

Things are clicking with this roster...defense is much improved...I'm a fan

 

[illmatic99]

Box score says Dame has 3 assists, CJ has 5.

Think they've mixed those up

nah...Dame didn't get one for a long stretch...I think it's correct

 

[DDolla]

Why am I nervous when we have a big lead?

 

[blazerkor]

I hope Rodney can come back the same, that would be huge for this team.

 

[James lamphear]

Our leaders:
Scoring Dame 20 and Trent 15
Assist CJ 5
Rebounding Zach 6
Blocks. Whiteside 2
Nurk right is out playing Jokic.
Everyone pitch in for this lead.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

For some reason, Collins' play discouraging me more than usual; apparently Stotts tired of it too, only played 13 minutes. He has got to start doing something at an above average rate.

 

[B-Roy]

CJ has had some nice passes. Also some absolute duds of possessions where he dribbles the air out of the ball.

This emergence of GTJ is the best excuse Olshey could have ever gotten for moving CJ, but I still don't think he does it.

 

[Wade Garrett]

Why am I nervous when we have a big lead?

Because there is no such thing as a "big lead".

 

[James lamphear]

What I like 15 assist that half.

 

[B-Roy]

So Gary Trent is going to lock up LeBron in the playoffs right?

 

[Hoopguru]

Trent best Blazer ever.

HOFer

 

[Hoopguru]

I’ll say it Nurk is our most valuable player.

After Dame

 

[kjironman1]

Denver is resting players and using this as a scrimmage for the bench. Of course the Blazers need to take them seriously but there is no way a "muscle strain", a "sore knee" and "Rest" happen if they need this game.

 

[AldoTrapani]

For some reason, Collins' play discouraging me more than usual; apparently Stotts tired of it too, only played 13 minutes. He has got to start doing something at an above average rate.

This shouldn’t be shocking. Collins is an ok player. I like his defense. Other than that he’s pretty meh. But he’s nowhere near what ppl think he is. I still can’t believe he was a top 10 pick

 

[B-Roy]

Chuck still saying Portland is beating Lakers.

He may be right. We have the MVP Gary Trent Jr.
