    I can't recall ever seeing an 8 point possession. It sucked the life out of the chumps...I mean the champs...sorry

    Zach was hilarious. It's too bad Portland doesn't have a young Steve Blake to pair with Zach in some kind of rabid white-boy-red-face-anger-management-pick-and-roll. It would be glorious every once in a while, especially with Nurk around to instigate

    Been a defender of Jake island since the beginning. Good to see him getting confidence and rhythm.

    It was kind of comical how much Zach was in their heads. KD, Klay, Green, Kerr, those guys are supposed to be superstars and their out their engaging in trash talk with the Blazers 8th man? Even at the end of the game they were on the bench talking crap to him. You know after the game too they'll act like super arrogant egomaniacs, try to talk down about Zach or act like they don't know who he is. Yet they were the ones out there acting like fools.

    I wonder if this game will finally get Zach some respect from the refs?

    The difference tonight 2nd half was Zach defense and Layman offense and give Stotts sticking with that 2nd group.

    I don't know if I wrote off Jake but I certainly didn't think this was coming.
    Also for me, my issues with Neil are a.) His personality grates on me, just everything about when he talks it drives me crazy. I realize that is a terrible way to rate someone's job performance so I try to not let that jade my feelings about him too much, but it puts me at a disadvantage because there is a bias there that's hard to ignore. b.) I think he's done a poor job of pulling off trades to get higher end talent. c.) 2016... What's crazy is 2016 and that massive overspending and committing to guys for so many years could really hurt the Blazers when it comes to resigning Jake. I don't want to make this another fire Neil Olshey thread lol...

    Anyways I am really glad that Jake is balling the way he is the guy is one of the funnest Blazers to watch right now, even his "down games" he moves so well without the ball, he's slowly getting better on defense too.

    Watched first half on the plane ride from Denver and the radio in my car driving home. Wheeels is the BEST. LOved it. That team plays HARRRDDDDD. SURE FIRE WAY TO TELL IF A TEAM DOESNT LIKE THEIR COACH IS DO THEY COMPETE. STOTTS has them playing their assess off. Period.

    LOL Did we have an 8 point possession? That was great!

    Green got a flagrant because stared down the ref and the hard foul was obviously on purpose to get the refs attention. The intent to foul on purpose was definitely brewing for several possessions and the fact the foul wouldn't probably warrant a flagrant without him being so demonstrative about calls all the time definitely made it flagrant. For those that don't think it was a good call go back and just watch Green for 2-3 minutes before the play. Yes, it is partly the refs fault for letting him get away with all the previous stuff but there has to be a line and he intentionally tried to cross it.

    Durant's push on Collins should have been a technical or a flagrant too! What a bunch of whiny, dirty bitches.

    Great win though, you could tell the Warriors wanted this one too.

    If we play with fire like we did the 4th QT this team could go long ways.

    Yeah GS maybe the most talented team the NBA has ever seen, but they are also literally the whiniest bunch of NBA players and coaches I have ever seen. They call techs on Green and KD like they do for any other normal basketball player and they get about 10 minutes a game... It goes beyond normal NBA whining it's pretty much just a constant barrage of complaints about everything...

    I do not think that was a flagrant foul BUT Green should have had a Tech a couple times and got nothing so as far as i am concerned it evened out.
