    Send CJ to the freaking G League. Wow he lost us that game.

    He did a good job. Harden was clearly frustrated. I think we found a good strategy defensively to limit Harden. If we have Dame we can beat them.

    17-0 run on the #1 team in the league by our third stringers. That's fucking impressive.

    That’s the best defense I’ve seen a blazer play against Harden since Wes. Need to find minutes for Baldwin. His game is not a fluke.

    OOOOOHHHHHHH! So close. I'm proud of that bench effort. Wade Baldwin with BRILLIANT defense on the Chia. Pat Con, makin' sure we don't forget him. I feel good even though we lost. Man! the end was fun. Houston Rockets can suck it! Go Blazers!! Beat SA.

    Forcing the others to score seemed to work. Nice job Stotts. Look for that in the playoffs.....when we meet.

    Wade Baldwin made some moves in a Blazer jersey that I haven't seen since BRoy

    I'm proud of the way we finished.....not so much with the way we played. CJ needs to be addressed. Bench him and start Baldwin.

    Baldwin got burned a few times by Harden....it wasn't a BRILLIANT game by him. But it was far better than anything CJ can pull off. And Baldwin actually plays Defense.

    I think way better than Wes. He was smothering him, and got under the Chia's skin.

    Held them under 100 and they were shooting insane in the first half. Of course we scored under 100, but we were also without our far and away best player.

    I tuned in just to get a look at some scrubs getting garbage time. What a great finish! Too bad CJ's shot didn't go in!

    I watched pre draft interviews with him and he always talked about competitiveness being his main strength. He wasn’t joking. This guy was in the g league and didn’t flinch against the MVP of the league.

    Yeah, it would've taken the flukiest thing happening to win, and it almost did.

    Proud of my boys tonight. Houston barely held off the end of our bench. When we see them in the WCF we will have Dame, Mo, and Ed...good game Blazers.
