    It's the way we've gotten to third though and we're pulling away. The way we're playing now is close to the level the top teams have played this year.

    Saw the LBJ interview after the game regarding the injury situation. Can't help but wonder what Dame thought when Lebron said "its been a long time since I had to play without another all star".........

    Poor guy.

    That's not fair to our players and frankly, just not true. Fuck him.

    Reminds me when in summer 2015, Clippers TV guys said we had no chance at playoffs and then we eliminated them.

    Great thing about this game is that this time none of our star players really had an amazing night - CJ and Dame were good but their shooting was not above par at all, especially Dame's, and Nurkic was just decent, yet we still won the game comfortably against a team that had LeBron performing at the very top level.

    Games like this are even more impressive than the times we beat teams on the back of 30+ nights from both guards and a 20 & 15 from Nurkic. It looks like the team has turned the corner and is buzzing with confidence right now.

    Weren't they missing their two best players? Just checking. Thought you might have mentioned that so people get the full story. Instead of some twisted fantasyland version.

    I'm just amazed with the turn around in our ball club. To compare the way we're playing now vs last year and the first half of this year, it's confounding, to me at least because I didn't think they had it in them. Props to every player and coach on the team, who probably all deserve equal credit. Stotts, in his 6 years here, now has coached two completely different Blazer teams to just a step below the elite 3-4 teams the NBA generates every year. That's pretty damn impressive. They're now playing his brand of basketball with ball movement, smart passing, efficient balance of three point and fastbreak scoring, contributions up and down the lineup. Blazers are finally a joy to watch again.
