    And we beat OKC to boot, who is #2 in our division after this game.
    Beating the Heat would make it a perfect sweep! You could even

    Great atmosphere again tonight - crowd was on its feet for what seemed like 20 minutes at the end.

    HCP.... that three that Crawford hit in the 4th.... was it a two or a three? Kerr and Harlen thought it was a two but they counted it as a three.

    CP3 absolutely dominated.

    BG more than held his own -- 35 Pts 11 Rebs

    DeAndre grabbed 19 boards.

    And we still won.

    That's what I took from this game -- and we still have a ton of room to get better, especially defending the paint.

    Dame still has a long way to go before he's even close to Paul. He put up all those points and assists, but honestly his defense was the most impressive to me. He completely shut Lillard down.

    So Lillard outplayed Paul in the end by doing what was required to lead his team to victory. Paul choked when it mattered. Lillard would NEVER miss that shot.

    24-5

    I love this game! Suck it, haters! You know who you are.

    Thankfully we have other guys who can take the shot when needed. Batum was clutch as hell. So glad we have guys like Nic and Wes.

    It wasn't Lillard. It was Wes and Batum. They were clutch.

    I am honestly concerned for you lately.

    You seem to be quite delusional lately....seriously, is everything ok?

    You mean like Robinson was?

    I agree with the first part though. I fucking hate the Clippers. Whiny little bitches from their coach to their 12th man

    Yeah, that was very disappointing. I rarely get to watch the Blazers on TV (because I don't have Comcast) so I was hoping to see "killard"; bummer. Either way the game was great, but I wish he could take that next step and learn from these 'lessons' the better point guards are giving him routinely now.

    I love this attitude and quote from Aldridge!

    "“We’re going to keep working every night, keep getting better, and if the chips put us in position to play for a championship, then we’ll do it,” Aldridge said. “But we’re not going to go off and start making these crazy goals right now. We’re staying in the moment and going game to game.”

    Not sure if they are "routinely" getting lessons from better PG's. He struggled against Dragic, but mostly he has a bad game against a PG, and then the next game against them he shows he's learned and moved on.

    Not saying there isn't room for improvement, just that I'm not sure he gets abused routinely. Of course, last night was a night where it almost felt like he didn't even play.

    I'd like him to stop running into 7 footers and getting gobbled up. I'm sure there are some fouls there, but he needs to develop the Chris Paul step back jumper :)

    Lillard is definetly going through the learning curves.

    Im guessing he continues to do that in hopes the refs notice he's fouled and gets FT's out of it. Although it's been murder on his FG%.

    He needs to work on his mid-range game, and watch video of Chris Paul (just ignore the whining part).
