    Pretty sure one of the assistant coaches said something and Lillard was trying to get him to just go back to his lockerroom. Not take things personally.
    But it's Westbrick. He takes everything personal.

    Not only the biggest win of the season against a quality opponent. Also a win against both Harden and Westbrook on their court. The best part is it was on NATIONAL TV!

    We played like it was a playoff game. Well done, coach and players.

    I don’t care what our record is beating Russ and harden will always be the best.

    I sure would be if the situations were reversed. Given that we came in having lost 8 of 11, I'm sure they had chalked this one up well before tipoff.

    WTF was that team and where have they been all season?

    Masterful game plan by Terry and great execution. Glad he got his ass in line after that performance against Charlotte.

    Man no one can stop Melo in the post when he attacks the rim he’s either too quick or too strong wish we’d run it through him down there a bit more.

    I agree, just seems like he has lost some lift. Lots of times he can't finish, but at least is getting to the line. Would be nice if he was able to get a few more and 1's.

    I almost gave your early comments today a "like" just for their sheer audacity!

    I loved the forced switching. Especially when he's going against a guard, it's dominant post play.

    Darryl Morey is rolling over in his grave with all these midrange shots

    Oh and I can't wait to be told that I have no idea what I'm talking about, this win only hurts the team and our season, and it's fans like me who have ruined the Blazers.

    OK, sure. You have no idea what you're talking about, this win only hurts the team and our season, and it's fans like you who have ruined the Blazers.

    So are we done using injuries as an excuse?
