    Beating LA at Moda always feels good.

    If CJ is still here, I don't think we win this game.

    That tweet by Magic makes this, maybe, the best win of the year.
    Oh...and fuck the Lakers.

    CJ Elleby plays a team high 43 minutes. This game couldn’t get weirder.

    Yes, you are correct, that other CJ was an invisible man tonight.

    New CJ, on the other hand, was definitely visible.

    LMAO

    Blazers Uprise Postgame Show
    Blazers 107, Lakers 105
    The tank is put on hold for a game as the Blazers clown the Lakers who had both AD and LeBron in this one. The young Blazers just wanted this one more. Come talk about the game and the trade deadline!

    Tanking will only get harder if Hart joins the team. We will find out tomorrow!

    Brown might be a rotation player before 2024.

    If he can defend well enough, dunk when possible and hit some three-pointers, that would do it.

    Minutes played is a real measurement of how a coach values a player.

    I was cracking up when a lineup of Smith-Elleby-Blevins-Brown-Watford won the first 5 minutes of the 4th Q and built a 7 point lead. Laker mystique my ass

    * Simons is better as a scoring guard than a play-making guard. His floor game is quite a bit better when he's searching for his own offense than when he's running the team. I still question how Dame & Ant will sync, but there's a chance it will be better than Dame/CJ. Hart may be a good 3rd guard in that rotation

    * I was skeptical about Winslow, but I think he might be an effective 7th or 8th man in a rotation. He's a solid ball-handler and passer, just not a shooter. But perhaps more important is he's a physical perimeter defender against guys like Lebron and Kawhi. Greg Brown is showing some upside as well

    * I haven't watched much of the Lakers but my god they have shitty ball security. 21 turnovers and Westbrook didn't play. DSJ was a real ball hawk around Laker carelessness

    We out-rebounded them by three, 10 less turnovers and we even shot more free throws!
