    The refereeing in this game was absolutely piss poor. I had several WTF moments. I can't believe how bad these guys are sometimes......

    there was a lot of defense where it looks like they funnel the player towards the hoop, giving them a free layup.

    Or maybe it was just Harkless. Not trying to single him out, just it seemed to be his "defense" that stood out.

    Should've watched the game instead of this bullshit election.

    What happened to Aminu? How come he played so little?

    Great to get another win ....I skipped the depression on TV and saw an incredible concert...Earth Wind and Fire with Chicago...two sets together and and hour and a half set separate....amazing night! just got home.....If you get a chance, I recommend the heart and soul tour I saw in Eugene tonight...came home to the news that the Blazers won and America lost!

    My fave band of all time! Didn't know they were still performing after Maurice White died.

    MAN FUCK YOU 2016!

    He was trying to dribble and lost himself this time. Stotts tried to look for him in the arena but he was nowhere so he had to bring someone else on.

    I slept through the game, 5 pm to 1:38 am, and have been reading basketball since. It's now 5:30 am. These two posts are the first election news I've seen. Did Trump win? If so, it's shocking because the media called it so wrong. And if so, you guys win the prize for giving me the news.

    Just this game. Season-long it's Plumlee.

    That would be the exception this season, not the rule. It may be the most shocking event of the evening. (Don't know. Haven't clicked on Google News yet.) We're getting to expect all our games to go to overtime.

    Dame and McCollum are for real.....Info from a news source>>>>> "FAST START: Lillard has scored 262 points so far this season, the most through the first eight games of a season in franchise history. It is also the most by an NBA player since Kobe Bryant had 264 through the first eight in 2009-10."

    We had 2 games of good defense then regressed again. Losing Aminu and his defense is gonna hurt us

    So if Aminu misses time: Plug in Noah Vonleh or move Harkless to PF and plug in Crabbe (or Layman if you want to keep Crabbe in 2nd unit)?

    Well CJ played great....no more streaky CJ and I'll gladly eat crow for doubting his 2 guard skills......he was amazing....Crabbe, not so much.
    I usually cheat when I have to eat crow and just eat a crow egg omelette

    Absolutely not! Griffin overpowers Aminu and he's longer and stronger than Hark. Harkless is better at guarding PGs than PFs. He lacks the bulk, strength and length to keep from getting abused in the post.

    The Clippers are going to go right at whoever we start at the 4. Vonleh is our best chance. He'll probably get into early foul trouble, but at least he has the strength and length to not get totally overpowered by Griffin.

    So I missed the first three quarters of this game due to work.
    I didn't see Aminu what happened? Did he get benched?

    Strained his left calf muscle 4 minutes into the game...

    A blessing in disguise if you ask me.
