    Shaq (immediately after Charles): "BET IT!"

    This was a thrilling win! Nico really kept us in it with that 3 and the free throws. This was a battle and we still won with Lillard having a quiet night offensively. Was pretty weird having Freeland and Leonard play together and for Leonard to get 6 rebounds in 4 minutes or something ridiculous. Go Blazers!

    And it's the 2nd night of a back to back. And a 3rd-game-in-4-nights situation to boot.

    You can see Shaq ready to say something, even try to interrupt him, "Chuck... Chuck..." and then you can see him lose his will for a clear lost cause the more Chuck drones on. lol

    No one will mention it. It only matters if it's a Blazer opponent on a back-to-back. Different rules for the popular kids.

    the team has an insanely tough test coming up (thanks captain obvious!). Miami and then @ OKC.

    Those are two teams they can't luck into wins like they have the last few games. Both are winnable games, but both are lose-able games too.

    They'll have to be hitting their 3's, or it'll be incredibly hard. This place will probably be very ugly if they lose both games.

    FUCK THE CLIPPERS!! So glad we beat those Bozos! I think if we'd had lost, we could pin it on some really dumb turnovers. Lillard, Mo and Batum made some really bad passes, the kind where the whole arena could see a TO the moment it left their hands.

    The Clippers got 14 more shots, shot a higher %, won the turnover battle 16-5, yet still lose the game. The Blazers won this game from the foul line 19-22 to the Clippers 6-12.

    Leonard and Freeland did a great job rebounding when they were in. Leonard had some open shots within the offense, and I think in time he can start taking and hitting more of those.

    Glad that Dame got his off-game out of the way, because we need him to be Damian Killard against the Heat and Thunder.

    Hey guys. Meyers had 7 rebounds in 12 minutes. Played good defense too. If course he looked clueless offensively for some reason. But it's nice to see improvement.

    I saw some idiot commenter on NBA.com try to say how Portland wasn't really that good because they were only 7-4 against above .500 teams.

    Good post. I hate half the players on the clippers. And yes the TO's are an issue against teams with guards who have quick hands. It worries me (Phoenix, Clips, OKC, SA)

    Why would it be ugly? I think even most homers know that those 2 games are the toughest of the month, and not automatic wins or gimmes... in fact, most expect us to lose @ OKC. We're not stupid.
