    I hate playing teams like BKN, NYK etc, they are so unpredictable
    they dont either overachieve or underachieve, they can win against anybody and lose to anybody

    they dont suck, but theyre not good either

    I start Aminu. You bring in Pat as a backup SG and as a SF in a small ball lineup. Pat at SF is not a long term answer. But it works in certain circumstances. But, having that extra shooter in the starting lineup is sooooooo nice right now. It just goes to show how much we need a SF who can shoot.

    Great comeback but overall it was not a good performance against a team missing their best player, albeit on a road trip and back to back which is always tough.

    Got very lucky that Beal missed that shot late on, ended up completely open and he makes that shot 9 times out of 10 easily. Basketball gods were with Blazers.

    Really because I'm pretty sure Pat affected one of the last shots of the game. He's sneaky good IMO.

    How many have we lost in heartbreaking fashion this year? I'll take any W this year. The west is going to be crazy at the end of the season.

    Best win of the season so far.
    Second night of a back to back against a playoff team on the road.

    Missing their best player or not. Shit happens and that happens to almost every team at some point, where their best player is out.

    What should we do with E.T. ? Another amazing performance from him. 1-5, 3 points, 0 assists, 2 TO. 1 Rebound.

    I like Pat C. He's a smart player with a good 3 point shot. He DID make a good steal right at the end there, when Washington guy was going baseline

    Those are often the hardest games on the road. Missing your best player.....teams usually play harder for the first game or two. Those are tough to win let alone coming back from 15 in the 4th. I almost turned it off at 90-75.

    They have decent home record and very bad road record reminds. So they compent at home. There coming from road trip and sometimes that first home game back teams have play like crap hopefully Monday will be that case.

    We don’t have a choice. Well have to ride his contract out. Unless of course we want to add a first rounder, which we better fucking not.

    Some of you guys in here you find excuses when we beat someone tonight they didn't have Wall. Now they did have Beal porter Morris gortat and other legit NBA players. They was up 17 points and we came back and won in the closing of the game. I applaud players that don't quit and the 1st unit didn't. Plus most part late they play good D. This was a good win for us who cares who they was missing. We was missing Aminu who knows maybe Porter wouldn't the game he had if Aminu was guarding him. So we might have won anyways. So give the players credit for this they earn it tonight.
