    Dame/CJ 11-35.
    The rest of the team. 15-25.

    This happened too often last year as well.

    Larry drew some blood on that offensive board.

    Larry should start. He does all the off ball stuff RoCo does while also being able to recover on shooters and keep his man in front.

    LNJ bringing it. Great power moves. Maybe the best finishing big Portland has.

    I like him and Zeller and Nas and Ant off the bench....we need to stop people when our starters sit...big problem in the past

    Difference is players are moving towards the basket and our guards are hitting with ball. Defense this quarter are staying more attach and taking angle away for passes to the corner. This adjustments I have seen this half good by the coaching staff at half time.

    Starting doesn't matter....I like that he's here finishing the game with Dame....staggering rosters is useful in matchups.

    Got a question. How many times have we seen Lillard guarding Morant?
    How many times have you seen Morant try to guard Lillard.
    One is not like the other.

    It was like Iguodala taking out Zeller just not as bad

    DSJ solid on Ja. No small task. By far the best defending guard Portland has, maybe better than Norm on fast guards.

    how many people here are old enough to have watched Larry Nance Sr. play? Talk about hops

    and Dame gets going, finally, and the Blazers win the quarter by 16 points. It really doesn't matter which other Blazers are hot, if Dame struggles, the Blazers struggle. Dame has played real good defense on Morant tonight
