    Good point, it's nice to see Vonleh back in there and getting good minutes. His impact is still fairly low, but the fact that he's not completely lost switching on to Curry is amazing.

    I 100% disagree. Vonleh's impact on the defensive side is extremely promising. He disrupted Green tonight. The way he's moving his feet is becoming a thing of beauty to watch.

    Golden State has the lowest opponent FG% (43.0) in the league. Their DRtg is 5th.

    Portland has really turned into a nice place to play. I'm confident that Free Agents will be attracted by the opportunity to play along side Dame.

    Should have clarified. He's yet to fill the stat sheet, but I think he can get there eventually and be posting lines like 10/10/5/5.

    With the win tonight, Blazers are in sole possession of 7th place, and are only 0.5 game back of 6th place Dallas.

    Go for 5th! Memphis, Houston, and Dallas are all vulnerable!

    Well, I bet Wilt got to 50 faster, but we don't have stats for that. But isn't it incredible that we have to say that about tonight's performance?
