    As much as I disagree with him at times, I appreciate the uptick in ball movement. Thank you.

    Yeah. Together they do well but Layman was not giving enough defense when Nurk picked up that 5th foul and was out.
    I am giving Stotts the benefit of the doubt on that lineup. But i would also have been good with Layman playing beings he earned it in the first half no question. Having Both Collins and Nurk in foul trouble was a tough issue to deal with. Turner and Aminu on the court at the same time can be tough to watch.

    Yeah that game was in hand. They got within 8 and it was gut check time but that didn't last long.

    It seems a few of the New Orleans fans might be correct.
    Losing Rondo hurt the Pelicans and i think he did do a bit of coaching from the floor. They just don't have the same team without Rondo.

    They really don't. They lost to GS a few nights ago, and they held a 16 point lead in that game, last I checked the score online.

    That's terrible.

    Blazers back to a season high 9 games over 500.

    upload_2019-1-18_22-13-14.png

    3 games ahead of last years pace, and 4 games off the 2014-15 pace (last year with Aldridge). I'm feeling good about the finish to this year. The first unit seems to be really clicking! How long can Layman keep up this run of good games?

    I just watched highlights and kept noticing Nards freaking out. For all the shit I’ve given him he might be the most fun of all the Blazers to get drunk with.

    Yeah other than a stupid shot from Aminu (Who other that that played a great game) after coming back into the game, and a stupid 3 by ET, they played smart after they cut it to 8.
    Redundant clutch shots by CJ and Dame were huge.

    Blazers beat them pretty good last season towards the end of the year. Just not at the right part of the end of year...

    That was a good win. We played a playoff caliber team and came out on top. Jake had a first half that was the best of his career and our starters did the rest.
    GO BLAZERS!!!
