    Portland's eight-game home winning streak marks its longest at the Moda Center since winning eight in a row from Nov. 8-Dec. 6, 2013.

    They pretty much solidified my opinion that this team may not win a game in the playoffs.

    Portland's 844 3-pointers this season (15 tonight) are the sixth-most by any NBA team in a season, all-time.

    Damian Lillard joins LeBron James, James Harden and Russell Westbrook as the only NBA players with 1800+ points and 500+ assists this year.

    Congrats to the Blazers for making the playoff. When the outside count you out in the beginning of the season you show them when you stick together you can accomplish big things. Get some and go for the 5th seed. Go Blazers.

    Damian Lillard is the second Trail Blazer to ever record 1800+ points and 500+ assists in a season (Clyde Drexler, 1991-92).

    And yet, somehow, it counts just as much as every other win.

    It was a frustrating 4th quarter but I guess 4th game in 5 nights, they may have been tired. Amazing this team made the playoffs.

    I'm stoked Chief had a huge night...lot of contribution from guys not named Lillard in the win. AC had a decent scoring night

    "Pretty much" and "may not" ? Way to go out on a limb! You have said nothing because you left yourself an out.

    Plenty of negatives about this game - but there is no such thing as a bad win!

    This team has far exceeded my expectations. There are plenty of holes that need to be fixed going forward - but for tonight, let's just be happy!

    Look just because you don't like it doesn't mean it ain't true. This team will struggle to win a game in the playoffs. It's that simple. Of course any jump shooting team that relies on 3's can have a big night and win a game. But it will not happen very often. They simply don't play good enough defense to compete in the playoffs.

    Feast or famine. I warned you guys. The guy is on and off. He slumps like a muthafucka.

    I guess he had to follow that hot streak with performances like this lately.

    Amazing leader though ill give him that

    The Thunder missed 11 FTs tonight. So that was huge.

    We gave up 19 offensive rebounds. Kanter had a monster game with 33 points and 20 rebounds

    Two wins pretty much seals the 5th seed. Memphis winning out would be.... Unlikely.

    Dropping one requires Memphis to lose two and Dallas to lose one.

    Dallas plays Memphis on Friday.
