    Meyers had Rubio on him with about seven seconds on the shot clock. What to do? Better pass it off!

    WTF, man. Back his ass under the hoop.

    No he can't do that, doing that requires a set of testicles. Meyers has a gash.

    Well it wasn't quite 40, but 33 in the 4th is enough to win it.

    The Trail Blazers have won a season-best four straight games. Against the Northwest Division, Portland is now 4-0 at home and 8-3 overall.

    Portland is now 8-2 over its last 10 games and is one of only six NBA teams with at least eight wins in its past 10 games.

    The Trail Blazers finish January with a 9-5 record, Portland's best mark in January since 2008-09 (9-5).

    Tonight marks Portland's first win by 3 points or fewer this year. Portland's last game decided by 3 points or fewer was Dec. 12 vs. NY.

    Portland has won four straight games against Minnesota and 33 of the past 40 meetings overall, dating back to 2005.

    guess you didn't see the lack of spacing and the 3 defenders within 3 feet of him

    Minnesota, another team that's been tanking for years that Portland has surpassed on development in 5 months. Tanking is stupid.

    If he had backed Rubio in, it likely would have opened up other players.

    See? We are a better team this year. Last year's team choked down the stretch. This year's team is picking up steam. Great win. Ed Davis' FT shooting was key when we were struggling.

    Hey, does anyone know what Michael Holton was talking about in postgame interview with Damian. Congratulating him for 4 straight seasons of 1000+ points? First since 1983? Can't be true. Many others have done this I think.

    ANYONE?

    First Blazer to start their career with four straight 1000 point seasons since 1983. Holton forgot the "start their career" part.

    Damian Lillard is 4th Trail Blazer, 1st since 1983, to begin his career with four straight 1,000-point seasons (Petrie, Wicks, Thompson).

    It's crazy, we've witnessed three rebuilds in the time that Minny has been rebuilding since KG first was traded in 2007. First the Roy team, then the Aldridge team, and now.

    Sad thing is we're ahead of em again.

    David Kahn needs so much blame for that. Passed on Curry twice for Jonny Flynn and Rubio lmao
