    Boston wins this game 8 out of 10 times, but it's nice to see another team make mistakes and get bad breaks down the stretch of a game for a change.

    Pretty much a built in schedule loss, and so naturally it's the one win on the trip. Maddening.

    We'll see how they do...

    2 good wins in the last month. Gotta start somewhere.

    7-18 since Dec 7th.

    Maybe the Blazers just play their best with the odds stacked against them. Like the improbable win against the Cavs, this game was the 2nd night of a back to back against a top team. Last year, we were supposed to be a lottery team.

    Nothing like a Blazer OT win to take your mind off the revolution going on around the world....think I'll have a beer and stretch it out

    Great win! Lots of heart after that game last night.

    We're undefeated when Leonard scores at least 17 points.

    Always happy to see the Blazers win, but after watching college basketball all day today, this draft is going to be crucial towards this franchise's success moving forward. Neil and co. have a chance to get a starting level player and another nice piece come June.
