I've stopped paying attention to what's behind the Blazers in the standings. In my mind, there's two games left. The Blazers take care of their own business, they are in. Bottom line. Memphis losing today (which a good chance they will at last look) seals the deal. Win, and get in. Doesn't matter who is 9th. Gotta beat the Blazers twice in a row and just don't see that happening. Then bring on the Lakers.

 

[Labinot41]

Wow Dame is defending Doncic

 

[Strenuus]

Totally forgot when this game started.

 

[Hoopguru]

Dame Cannot get in foul trouble guardingLuka

 

[Strenuus]

Zach padding stats. Lol.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Nurk HAS to finish inside.

 

[Labinot41]

Nurkic wtf

 

[B-Roy]

What in the hell is CJ doing?

 

[Tince]

Dallas taking and making more difficult shots thus far.

We're getting easier looks and missing them.

 

[Labinot41]

Can't belive how many easy shot nurkic has missed in the bubble

 

[craigehlo]

The fact that GTJ isn't starting on Luka just shows how awful our coaching is. We don't need Melo in this lineup.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Well that was not an inspiring start.

 

[DDolla]

Not looking good early on

 

[illmatic99]

No defensive resistance at all. I think they have scored on every single possession

 

[Hoopguru]

Nurk HAS to finish inside.

Hes struggled in close.

 

[Chris Craig]

Fuck

 

[Jon]

defense has to stiffen up.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

TNT is blackout for this game.

In Portland, it's on NBCSNW then. On TNT where I am.

 

[craigehlo]

This isn't rocket science. Put your best defender on Luka. Stotts is treating this like it's just another regular season game.

 

[James lamphear]

Zach staying with it for his points good job. But we are real trouble in this game.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Zach padding stats. Lol.

He's sure not padding his shooting %.

 

[Strenuus]

He's sure not padding his shooting %.

It counters if you rebound all the misses. Lol.

 

[TBpup]

In a game the Blazers almost HAVE to have, that 'defense' is showing up early. Mavs on pace for about 44 points in the 1st quarter....shooting 64% so far.

 

[wizenheimer]

Blazers 0 assists on 5 baskets

 

[MadeFromDust]

Looks like we may need Superman Dame to rescue us again.

 

[James lamphear]

He's sure not padding his shooting %.

50 percent not bad he padding his rebounds good for him.

 

[B-Roy]

Does Luka usually come out this early?

 

[B-Roy]

Does CJ really need to switch on that?
