    I'm fine giving Melo that game ball. He hit some big shots down the stretch.

    I really wish I could feel better about this victory. I really do. We barely beat a team that has Tolliver and Grayson Allen in their regular rotation. We don't have the killer instinct to step on their neck when up by a dozen. When we get ahead in overtime, we lose our poise. Overall they played more physical and with more desire. Maybe we will do better going against some older teams. I hope so.

    A game they HAD to have. Mission accomplished no matter the flaws.

    I see Nurk had 6 blocks and nice to see Zach with 9 boards.

    that was a wacky game

    Portland just got hot from three when it counted most

    and apparently, officials have better hearing when there isn't crowd noise

    Now hopefully Dame's hamstring is OK . Might be a bruise, but those can linger. But what an effort by the whole team. Now someone go give Hassan a wakeup call. Pure dooky effort. C'mon man.

    If you are asking if I want our team to make the playoffs the answer is yes. Getting more playoff experience and a chance no matter how small to advance in the playoffs is worth going from the 14th pick to the 15th pick.

    Rip City baby. Great game to watch as we saw playoff McCollum in excellent form and Nurk, Melo and Trent having outstanding games as well.

    Not sure that makes sense: if Memphis won they might end up more than 4 games ahead of the Pels and Memphis in the playoffs is probably worst-case scenario for the league.

    Seriously, someone needs to make sure Whiteside feels loved, because we need him not to feel butthurt.

    Grizzlies have the Spurs on Sunday and Blazers have the Celtics.
