    the game against Utah proved you wrong. Dame needed someone to take the pressure off him and CJ did it masterfully. He hit a big three late tonight too.

    Were you around to talk about how we beat Utah and GS with their stars playing?? Or will you continue to broken record player that we haven't even though we had done so against OKC twice?

    Did anyone else notice that when they stopped the clock after Lillard's game winner it read .09?

    Maurice Harkless stealing the inbounds pss and getting us up 4-0 20 seconds in turned out to be the pivotal play of the game.

    Eventually, Lillard will hit a big shot in every play of the game, and someone will do a megacut where it's an entire game but only Dame's big shots stacked up one after another like cord wood.

    Devin Booker looks like the older brother from Wonder Years; such a punchable face.

    We're down 81-67 in the third and surpass them with six minutes left pivoting a shot from Dame with 0.9 seconds left. A two point win over a team I thought we would blow out by 20. The Blazers have heart and Dame provided leadership with his 40 points! 7a86f7fb166cfe1a59e3d44689f72c5a.jpg Generic photo noted

    If It were only a one time occurrence, it wouldn't be a big deal. CJ is a very talented scorer but needs to bring more to the table than just that on most nights.

    The selectiveness is amusing. Try looking at the bigger picture of the entire season. # fakenews

    This can't be true. I have been told several times by people on this board that something that happens in the first quarter is not as important as in the 4th quarter. So using that flawed philosophy, the 5 second call, which is a TO that led to 2 points was more pivotal than the Harkless steal that led to 2 points.

    So was that a great win wrapped up in a shitty performance, or a shitty performance wrapped up in a great win?

    Either way, you need those types of wins
