    I think they had good idea they wouldn’t win challenge but figured it’s same as timeout so why not

    I mean it worked out but basically giving up a tie to go to a 2OT when you could have at least used the TO to draw up a last second Dame shot is a dumb move nine times out of ten imo.

    For those of you who feel assists are important. Are you concerned we only had 14?

    The turnovers were far more concerning to me.

    Wow I owe everybody an apology. I was acting like a scared bitch and I was completely proven wrong!

    Amazing win and what a way for Simons to redeem himself. Great win!

    Yep Chauncey never looked over. He knew it would not be a successful challenge.

    Fun fact.

    Simons was the only starter with a +, and Sharpe had the highest of both teams.

    * if anybody is interested, against an actual contender, in overtime, the Blazers scored the last 7 points of the game

    * Nurkic definitely played up to his contract tonight. Simons didn't, until he brought out the hook

    * Blazer defense had some major brain farts, but it's showing lots of promise

    * the offense is pretty remedial right now having to settle for a lot of ISO

    A lot of the turnovers were failed assists.

    You're right... I would've taken us going 2-4. I wanted 6-0.

    I'd really like to beat the brakes off of the Lakers.

    The Suns were the best team in the Western Conference in the regular season last season and didn't have any major roster turnover that would make any reasonable person say that they are trash (I realize I'm not necessarily responding to a reasonable person). Given their insanely good road record last season of 32-9, I would say handing them a road loss tonight is a pretty big deal especially when you consider that this roster still needs a lot of balancing out.

    Not so much. They were just bad passes and offensive fouls.
