    We are rebounding the ball well we have committed 8 turnovers and we have outscored them 14 to 8 in the paint. But there outs scoring 11-6 off turnovers. So our turnovers kept them within reach to us.

    Two things can happen in the 2nd half. We win again in a blowout. Or Dame continue to suck and Clippers come back

    Lillard, leading scorer on the Blazers tonight.

    Shooting 66% from 3.

    Tied for lead in assists tonight.

    And that means he sucks?!?

    It's so funny how people have specific negative biases towards players and will stick to them no matter what. It's just like the couple of guys that said Nurkic was trash last game when he had 17 & 8 in 23 minutes shooting 6-for-8.

    Yeah it's why I have him on ignore. He used to say Lowry was better. I love to hit the "Show Ignored Content" button every once and a while and see the ridiculousness though.

    Seemingly took away 4 obvious free throws from Little.

    Gotta give him credit though. He’s played the long game with this and has been consistent with it.

    I dunno about our 14 man roster, but the 9 man is right solid (and 10 man with Dennis is choice)
