    It came down who won the last 5 minutes of the game. That was us great job Blazers. I think Harkless just put Myers on the bench for good great performance by the kid.

    Harkless was key. I'm not the most articulate man but I know he had an understated importance to this win and this team's future.

    The Jazz made a higher percentage from 2,3 and the FT line. But we got 4 more field goal attempts and 15 more FT attempts. The turnover battle was even.

    Where Portland really won this game was with offensive rebounds. 23 offensive rebounds compared to 12 for the Jazz. Harkless and Vonleh actually had 13 by themselves.

    Harkless turned the tide of the game.

    Thank you Stotts for putting in Harkless instead of Meyers in the 2nd half.

    Don't count on it. Stotts is infatuated with shooting big men.

    Harkless is so much more active and aggressive under the hoop than Leonard. He's fun to watch.

    I'm thinking letting Leonard walk and giving Harkless a solid deal (3y/27m) would be a good idea.

    Harkless is life. Such a good rebounder, mixes length with positioning and instincts. Leonard could learn a thing or two or three from him. Stotts had Leonard playing PF again tonight. I think that experiment is over.

    I think one of the biggest thing about this win is we win the series with them 3-1 that could be huge with playoff seeding down the stretch

    Also props to Plumlee. Thought he was huge tonight as well. He's starting to protect the rim a lot better.
