    Do you always have to be correct about something, even if it's minor and totally unimportant to the bigger point of a comment?

    Great win tonight and funny side note: The final score of 113-105 was almost EXACTLY the same as the vegas odds predicted score!

    They're also going to have to get up for Toronto and Utah. Also, I'm pretty sure Boston, Golden State and Houston are considered plum teams to beat.

    And then there's Memphis. Who wants to be the team that ends Memphis' streak?

    This felt like the first win in a while where Dame wasn’t the main catalyst behind putting someone away or spearheading a comeback. I’m glad the rest of the crew stepped it up when needed and gutted out what could have been a nasty comeback by the Cavs.

    Patty had some clutch plays on both sides of the ball that deserve some attention. Hitting that deep three and stripping LeBron were some great momentum plays that stood out to me tonight.

    Kevin McHale just said the only reason we are 3rd is because of the injuries to San Antonio and the trades the Clippers made or both would be in front of us. Then he said we might be 3rd but it’s a very distant 3rd. What a piece of SHIT!

    He also made some really good hard cuts that forced the defense to cover him and leave others open.

    Injuries are part of the NBA and Portland has had plenty of them. Yes they've benefited from other teams missing top players but Portland's injury history is 2nd to none so I'll take it. He needs to keep things in perspective.

    As for the 2nd part, he is right. Even with an 11 game winning streak, they are only 4.5 games up on the #10 seed while being 10 games back of the #2 seed.

    He also said Minny would beat us in a 3/6 matchup. Only way we could when is if Dame and CJ both had exceptional games at the same time 4 games in the series. I didn’t think he was so fucking stupid.
