Trail Blazers @trailblazers Haha! Wizards suck balls! Eastern conference is a joke! #BlazerRule #RipCity
Anyone have a stat showing how many times Lopez dances when will the thrill dunks or makes a hustle defensive move? I'm pretty sure its 100%
Trail Blazers notched their first win over a team with a winning record since February 1st (Tor). Amazing stat considering they are still 21 games over .500.
I wonder what got into Nic with the rebounding? He is hanging back on defense instead of leaking out.
