    Wasn't really sure if he was trying to miss on purpose. He didn't miss it by much really. Dropped straight down on the front rim and almost bounced in.

    Refs never even gave us a chance to win this one. What a waste of time, effort, and money. Should have saved the visa fees, and just flown straight to Detroit.

    Big picture; we can only possibly meet these guys in the finals, and no way the refs call that many fouls in the playoffs.

    Man this year is fun and all but next year will be when the window really opens and our journey begins.

    I know this year has been really suprising and unexpected but I really feel we can use that pick this year. Denver can have that pick next year in my opinion.

    Utah lost tonight. We are 4 games ahead of them and we own the tiebreaker. And 7 of our last 9 games are at home. We're not getting the pick.

    Plumlee really hurt us tonight. All Plumlee Can really do with his height and length that he has against some guys (a fair few guys) is give 100%, and it's rarely enough. The guy just isn't the interior defender at the 5 we are looking for. That's the spot we need to really improve on..

    If we get 6 seed, we have a good chance at pulling an upset and that would be good experience for this team.

    I hope Portland finds some help in the front court. I like Plumlee as a backup, and Davis/Aminu are good role players, but you don't want everyone in your front court to simply be a role player.

    I wish we had Valancinunas. He makes Plumlee look like a PF. Plums isn't really big enough to be center. He's just a backup 4/5.

    Len is the center I'd try to pry away.

    Depends on the match-up. Toronto is not worlds better than a 6th or 7th seed in the East.

    Sorry.

    Sorry.

    This sounds suspect. Sorry.

    The Raptors getting preferential refereeing? What a time to be alive.

    This was one of the worst officiated games I've seen this year. Not sure where this crew ranks on the pecking order but they must be the D-squad.

    No. Sorry.

    He is a microwave burrito. Every bite is either molten lava hot or frozen.

    I think they have won a playoff game. Sorry.


    Overall not as nervy as the usual Blazers/Raptors games but still a notch above a typical game.

    I love Plumlee's speed and instincts. If we had a certain 7' 1" player grow a pair we'd be sittin' pretty.

    We're way ahead of the curve..I figured this whole season was training camp tryouts and these young guys have really shown a lot of heart..Dame is a bona fide superstar with zero baggage...we're in good shape...playoff bootcamp coming up!

    Damian Lillard has tallied half of the league's 50-point games since the NBA All-Star break (D. Lillard-2, S. Curry, A. Davis).

    With his sixth 3-pointer tonight, Damian Lillard tied Terry Porter for second on Portland's all-time 3-pointers made list (773).
