    We had 6 players in Double figures are bench score 40 points. Curry Kanter Collins did nice job off the bench. Defense the last 2 minutes in the game was the difference. Nice win tonight by the Blazers.

    no idea?

    Griffin 35.5M/year
    Dame 30.5M/year
    CJ 28.5M/year
    Nurk 12M/year
    Harkless 11.5M

    118M

    next year cap is 109M and tax line is 132M. Portland would have to add at least 8 players for less than 20M next season just to stay under the tax. If they wanted a competitive team they'd probably have a tax bill north of 30M; and Paul Allen isn't the owner anymore. That's how I can say Portland couldn't afford that 4 man combo

    That was a fun game! Detroit is pretty damn good. Hard nosed defense & clutch finish by the Blazers.

    Portland is tough to beat when Dame is in superstar mode and Harkless is contributing on both ends

    Jake and ET sure aren't earning more playing time
