    It was a solid first two quarters, one really bad third quarter, finished with an amazing clutch performance by Dame in the 4th. So kind of a three layer cake with two decent layers, one layer of shit, and the most delicious icing you’ve ever tasted. Just enjoy the icing and skip the rest.

    Then thats totally stupid by Stotts, Zach may have played his best stint of the season in the 1st half, his length was really needed and he affected a lot of PHX shots, so in the 2nd half dummy Stotts does not play Zach and instead goes to a small guard lineup that gets eaten alive by PHX length - I am sorry but what an F'n moronic move.

    Dame is playing unreal basketball right now. He might be the best player in the league at this moment.

    I look at it as a lucky close win as opposed to several unlucky close losses we had early in the season, these things tend to "even out" over the course of an 82 game season and last nigh was an example of that, Dame had a helluva game

    The troll theme of this win should've been "Live by the 3, Die by the 3", not "stole a game against the worst team in the league".

    Through 43 minutes, POR 3-27 from 3, down by 11. Last 5 minutes, Dame and CJ 3-3, we win by 2.

    Thanks to those who posted video. I kept watching NBA TV last night and never saw highlights. Warriors/Thunder 3 times, Celtics 3 times, King/Lakers, but not Portland. A game with playoff implications, an unlikely comeback, a superstar performance, and a buzzer beater but it got, maybe, 20 seconds? At any rate I never saw coverage.

    Wait a second. I thought that was a road game. And why was the MODA painted like the Suns arena? Exciting win for the Blazers faithful.

    Good thing none of that negative stuff matters. I thought Triano had the Suns playing inspired defense against a visibly tired and sluggish Blazers team. No one on the Blazers could make a shot. Then Dame went All Star Mode and carried the team to victory. It was spectacular.

    Great win!

    :cheers:

    Ps. I just got a new Samsung Note 8. There is a cool feature where I can turn any part of my screen into a gif in about 3 seconds. So, if you want a Trail Blazers gif, just send me a video and I'll make it happen. Word .

    Nurk in Dame's ear, "Tell em what it is".
