Game Thread GAME# 10: RAPTORS @ BLAZERS - JANUARY 11, 2021 - MONDAY, 7:00 PM, NBCSNW

Hard to get excited for these wins when you know it won't carry over to the post-season.

 

The team is playing better and better.

I love watching Blazers basketball. And a come from behind 1 point win is a game I enjoy.

My son and I were up off the couch yelling at the tv cheering our team on.

Nurk out with an injury. Dame twisted his ankle and clearly not at full strength. The team never gave up. I love to see that fighting spirit!

It’s a long season, and there will be good games and bad games. I’m going to take this win and enjoy it!

 

We'll see if the growth is real. I'm not willing to say yes yet.

 

Relax, would ya, I'm here.

 

Good, you shouldn't. I've been saying that we can't really judge the team (shortened preseason and training camp) until after 20 games, and we can't even START to judge them until after 10 games. So, here we are about to play game 11. Let's see how they go. I'm optimistic, but I totally understand pessimism - this team started out a complete mess.

 

This is where a good many of us are. We will see where they are at 20 games pretty much like every season. It's a real good benchmark.

 

20 games is good bench mark but I look at each game to see improvement in areas that we are weak at but if see the same thing up to 20 games then I know what expect the rest of the season.
