    Oh look, another win where everyone contributed. I think they call that a team.

    Good win! Positive balance scoring for us. Nurk and Dame double double. Bench not as effective but they got 30 tonight and Zach 6/8 5 offense rebounds and Curry shot well. Negative: turnovers !

    I think a win like this is a good win for the team, and shows they're growing.

    I mean sure, I'd rather they not lose a 21 point lead, but they held strong and won. This road trip will test them, and could go a long way to setting the standard for the season. There are 3 difficult games (Lakers, Bucks and Warriors...btw, who the hell decided it should be the Warriors after the Bucks??) where they hopefully can get revenge on the Lakers, and 3 games that are winnable if they play strong and smart.

    A 4-2 road trip is not out of the question, but so is a 3-3. Anything worse than 3-3 is a disappointment.

    "Terry, they are stretching out to the Perimeter?"

    "Suck my dick."

    "Seriously Terry. It's just like Washington."

    "Suck his dick. IDGAF."

    We are alone in 2nd in the West since DEN lost...most fun I've had watching a Blazers team in years...great chemistry and everyone knows their role! At times, it's a thing of beauty!

    Celtics are a top 5 team. So it was a great win...but they flirted so hard with blowing it. It could have been a thing of total beauty. The refs gifted the Celtics a lot of unwarranted fts

    I feel like Turner was trying too hard tonight. Many reckless passes

    The Warriors are going to sign him so he can submarine another team?

    Hayward is quickly looking like the new Chandler Parsons

    Anyone else find it a little questionable though that the Celtics had to play an entire half with a bent rim, and then it gets fixed right when the Blazers are set to use that side of the court?

    I wondered about that too. How did the teams shoot half vs half?
