    Injuries are a part of the game and there are NO EXCUSES in there....but just simple reality. Absoultely take advantage of what's in front of you but again, playing like they have against the Suns and the Lakers will not get them passed the 2nd round against a healthy Warriors or Rockets team.

    So being at the top of a 7 car pile up is good....but they are also only 4 games out of the #10 spot while being 11.5 games out of the #2 spot. Perspective.

    I was tired, Blazers getting killed, shut off TV, plugged in phone, folded knitting, put on pajamas, well, take a look at TV to see what's happening...

    HOLY SHIT, DAME JUST TIED THE GAME!!!

    Last minute seems both teams were trying to throw it away, fortunately Lakers tried harder!

    They did what they needed to, BEAT LA.
    And I was too hyped to sleep and overslept and got to work late.

    Anyone else curious why Damian stole the ball from Lonzo with less than a second left?

    Let me sum up your writing style and general attitude on this board;

    Latimes article this morning: http://www.latimes.com/sports/lakers/la-sp-lakers-blazers-20180305-story.html

    "But it was only a matter of time before Lillard reminded everyone he was still Lillard.

    It happened late in the fourth quarter, with the Trail Blazers having clawed back from a double-digit deficit to within six.

    Lillard hit a three. Then another. And another. And another."

    No let down mentality. Play until the whistle. Or in this case, the final buzzer.

    I hate to say it, but that reeked of a play that CP would make. Dame is changing. Just a killer all the time now.

    I hope Lonzo was talking shit and Damian felt it necessary to make a statement. I fear you might be right.

    I didn't even think about Dame and tapping his wrist last night. Should have walked up to IT and done it right in his face!

    We never did get an excellent @Darkwebs caption contest and I was prepared for it all day. Got to say Nurk did not have luck playing defense and he did fuck up on easy shots. CJ missed two free throws at the end of the fourth too. CJ is my favorite, so to be fair, he fucked up too.

    Im not gonna tolerate this bullshit, Nurk was GREAT last night! it was Dame who brought this team back, but without Nurk, his defense and rebounds, this would be an L frendo! and he scored some points in that comeback...

    I can't remember a Blazer ever turning up the intensity so much throughout the season like Dame has done this year.

    His upward trend has been incredible to watch.

    Someone with photoshop/video editing/whatever computer nerd skills are required needs to put Dame's face on Jim Carrey and the Lakers logo on the chef's head. Because that is what Dame did last night.
