    Kyrie reminds me a lot of CJ. He rarely passed the ball, and Nurk spiked him twice for that sin.

    So you are saying the entire team shot terrible from 3? Not just CJ?

    Dame and CJ both played awful in the first half.

    Dame ends the game with 33 points and numerous made plays. CJ ends 6/19 contributing literally nothing to the game.

    CJ doesn’t even deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as Dame.

    Anytime you go 6-33 from three and win in Boston you take that shit and run out of town. Need more from the bench but awesome to start 4-0 on the trip.

    Absolutely! Road wins are tough period. When you shoot that poorly, it's next to impossible but they gutted one out and withstood a couple of runs. If they can continue to build on that, it does wonders for getting wins in the Playoffs.

    I really didn't think Jake played poor defense either. But i did see Mo play very well. So maybe it was situational but with the win in the books i can't find a reason to complain really.

    Really? A ball off the rim is 14 seconds instead of a full reset?

    Tells you where I am with the NBA....

    Yep, but imo that specific play was a controlled tip. Therefore it should've went to 24 instead of 14.
    Refs didn't agree with me tho :(

    Got to enjoy that win. The don't come along all the time. A quality win on the road is always a good thing.

    Harkless was tremendous! Wish we could get this version for more than 1/4 of the season though. That is the frustrating part. If he can play this way down the stretch and in the Playoffs, he is a difference make for Portland.

    You are not alone much of the time. They rarely agree with me.

    I see us having at least a 2 game better record the OKC by the end. Everyone should be rooting for the Clips, they are almost in 6th. Who doesn’t want a pdx/la first round matchup?

    I don't want to listen to Glenn Rivers coming through the broadcast for 5 games.
    His voice is obnoxious.

    Dame is 1st team all NBA, that can be said about almost anyone.

    I'm amazed at the high standards some of you hold for a SG. I think one that averages over 21 ppg on 46% shooting as a perimeter player is pretty good.

    Agreed - there are a only a few players in the league that could favorably be compared to Lillard - he's so good that he's starting to get noticed outside of our fanbase.

    Hark +16. He was huge tonight. He is playing so well right now

    The beginning of the 4th was a horrible reminder (and a foreshadowing) of not having a backup PG on the team.
    ET is not a PG, but neither is CJ or Curry. It will eventually bite us in the ass. And although ET is not really the answer, he is still the best option we have. We need him on the floor when Dame is out.

    As for Boston, they really need a better rim protector.

    I think Mo must’ve got healthy at the break. Hopefully he stays healthy.
