    50 points on 20 shots with 10 assists?!? Absurd. Could be his greatest game ever.

    And I appreciate your graphs, representing Lillard's greatness in pictorial form.

    What can I say? Like a kindergartener, I love pictures.

    50 points by Dame...41 minutes too which is a concern considering the compressed schedule ahead

    even with all of Dame's heroics, it still took some major choking by the Pels to give Portland a 1 point win

    I'm thinking Portland's 4th Q and the Pels choking might have won both games for the Blazers. Not sure if a young team can come back from that, although they have a day's rest

    My advice would be to spend this time enjoying the good parts and not being disappointed about the bad stuff. It would be a bummer to be disappointed during the Dame era.

    I'm with you... I think a win next game is unlikely... but so was that comeback!

    He seems pretty consistent in thinking it's about the players and not him. I worry about the coaches who think they're a big part of the outcome of games; pretty delusional of them.

    Perhaps the most depressing win this season.

    We won but it's a glimpse of things to come for the rest of the season.

    Blazers 13-0 when scoring 123 points.

    The number it takes to make up for our defense!

    There are some posters on here who only show up when the blazers are down to criticize them and magically disappear when the go on the run and win.

    Or they beat them twice tonight? You know the Blazers will shoot better next game than they did this game.

    I nominate this for post of the year.

    I’m actually thinking about making bumper stickers or t-shirts.

    Didn't realize DJJ was only 6'5. Didn't know Hood was 6'8. Crazy

    Yes there are... seemingly happier when they're complaining than when we're winning.

    How do you get that? They will rarely shoot that poorly and they will have their starting Center back in the next week or two.
    I just don't see them having the same issues when they have two true centers and CJ get in better shape?(He was obviously out of shape tonight)

    For the record, I'm going to miss a good chunk of tomorrow game live so I won't be able to post (win or loss); this will certainly be an early christmas gift for some of you!
