    CJ started the day at 25th in Blazers playoff all-time scoring. 3 more points from taking over 21st. Decent first half. ;)

    CJ will just have to score 28 or more in the second half then!

    I hope that 7 minutes from Meyers is a trial run for the rest of the series.

    ....That he failed, and shouldn't play any more.

    Honestly, against the Warriors, Meyers shouldn't play AT ALL. Both teams run small ball, there is absolutely no reason to play a stretch big when you match up with wings.

    So it's pretty clear that the Portland trail blazers are the best team in the NBA with Nurkic.

    If CJ can make it to 58pts tonight, he takes over 17th place from Bill Walton.

    I don't really have a problem with Nards in the game if MeGee is in. Otherwise yeah might want to cut his minutes.

    CJ McCollum (27) and Damian Lillard (21) are just two shy (48) of their combined ppg from this season (50), which led all NBA backcourts.

    Roy did some cool stuff out there, probably a more well rounded player. But, CJ is a nice consolation prize. CJ has the best array of ways to score that I've ever seen from a Blazer guard.

    Some of our fickle fans were calling for him to be traded after year 2.

    Proud as hell that we're holding our own.

    That said, the dam will break soon if no one else steps up. The shots they are making are much easier than the shots we are making.
