    Blazers 5 games behind the Warriors. That'd be something else if this team can catch Steph Curry.

    Ant is now shooting 60% from the field and 93% from the line in "clutch time".

    5.2ppg in clutch time leads the NBA.

    Bucks fans are really starting to turn on Dame.

    "I have a different type of confidence in him (Ant).... with Ant I expect things from him that other people don't expect yet. He has ability to hit those types of shots." - Dame

    What's the shortest stint a non-interim head coach has ever done?

    Jerry Tarkanian has to be up there... felt like he only lasted a month or two, but he's still a HOF'er!

    Me too. Him, Sharpe and Scoot could form a very solid guard rotation down the line.

    Ayton & Reath gave us a really solid 48 minutes from the center position.

    30/15/2/2/1 on 61% from the field (2-2 from deep).

    I just got back from the game. My ears are still ringing. What a game. It really felt like a playoff atmosphere. Total team win. 6 guys in double figures. Tremendous team D. Loved it!

    Toumani and Tisse had a huge impact on the game even if the boxscore doesn’t show it. Their defense was on constant go-mode.

    I finally went back and watch the play. I don't think this is a kick ball. He goes up in the air, his legs go out, the ball is knocked loose, and goes off his leg. I don't think it was intentional.

    I haven’t watched a ton of Bucks basketball, but it seems like Giannis’ ego is getting in the way of them being great. I’m sorry but there are very few circumstances where that dude should be initiating the offense instead of Dame. He should not have had the ball at the end. Bucks fans say he’s shit at PNR and setting screens. I know Dame isn’t shooting well but I put the blame on Giannis.

    Blazers shot 53/43/100 with a 2.5/1 assist to turnover ratio. Those are winning numbers
