    Late night back and playing a rested Utah team that is already in Portland.

    If the Blazers somehow manage to pull a win out of that, that will be HUGELY impressive.

    Lillards threes are like chip shots that a pro keeps sinking into the cup. He's got the backspin and trajectory.

    I can't believe you all aren't as pissed as I am about the sub-par effort we saw tonight. Dame put up 48, but it was under his average over the last five games (48.5 ppg). I'm calling him out. Get your act together, Dame!

    The track on which his game seems to be progressing, Little reminds me a bit of Ron Artest. Without being crazy.

    Nice find. I remember Corky Calhoun having a perfect game for around 25 points back in the day. (IIRC).

    Dude is literally carrying this entire franchise with one damn center and a hodgepodge of players. This is LeBron in cleveland when hed take them to the finald by himself.


    Not saying he is, its just the last two weeks are similar to that. If only it can last.

    Regardless, its unreal.

    I was about to bring it up when he let it go, and then got #9 the next possession, but he said as much the other day before he got it that he respected the game too much to hunt them. He made the smart play.

    Hezonja scared the heck out of me when he was in during the fourth quarter. Shooting 3s. And missing FTs. And handling the ball. And not taking charges on out-of-control Kuzmas.

    It was like playing with 4 1/3 guys.

    To be fair, he had to take the first minute basically off. Still maintained his high point-per-minute average, though...

    Well done to the refs tonight. They let both teams play, and didn’t call the touch fouls. Great reffing, I wish we saw more if it throughout the season, not just in the playoffs.

    We got some good young talent on this team and they starting to figure it out. Trent another double scoring with 10 Little with 8 his shot looks more improve. Gabriel first look wasn't bad for young kid there a lot of positive in his game. I am not going to give up on Simons either I think when get stronger he going be NBA player.

    I like Little. I think he will continue to improve and eventually become a very solid player for this team. He makes a few mistakes sure. But that energy is working and his shot will come around.

    I also think Biggie is coming around. He also is putting up enough energy to make a difference. Also makes mistakes but he works so hard out there.

    Not to mention the slacker didn’t get the one measly additional rebound he needed for a triple double.
