    It still does. Home team gets to sleep in their own beds.

    Still, your point is taken.

    It was really nice to see Dame wake up completely. Now we just have to see Nurk, which will happen really soon. CJ has been great and continued to be tonight. RoCo and DJJ are like everything we always wanted Chief and Moe to be. The ball movement was great to see. I think our defense won't be lock down but will continue to be very disruptive. Again, if Nurk starts to show up, we'll be really tough. We miss Gary, Ant did well tonight, Enes did Enes things, Carmelo played the role he needs to play but the headline tonight was A Role Player is Born because for a few brief minutes with rotation players we caught a glimpse of what Giles can be if he stays healthy.

    I know that there will be steps back as we take steps forward but with the exception of still needing to see what Nurk can bring, tonight we saw what this team will be.

    Maybe they get GT back for Sunday's game?
    I would think Stotts will be playing Giles a few more minutes now.

    This is just my opinion but Giles brings pretty much everything Collins brings. Energy, rebounding, putbacks and is a willing passer. Seems to take the ball strong to the hoop when need be and can shoot the ball when open.

    Curry can’t do anything in NBA without his Splash brother.

    Speaking of record books, Dame is going to move up a lot on the all-time scoring list this year. A couple of former Blazers are barely ahead of him in Shareef Abdul-Rahim, Shawn Kemp and Terry Porter.

    This is the worst Blazers team ever, right?

    It’s what they get for moving the team and raising the ticket price.

    Ant’s shot gets blocked at the rim by his own defender an awful lot, whether he lays it up or tries to dunk it. Seems like he just doesn’t have those deceptive basketball moves needed to fool an NBA defender.

    I don't know why you ever even question D. If anybody is allowed to have an off game, or TEN it's Dolla'.

    So does Steve Kerr all of a sudden suck as a coach?

    This is some amazing offense, defense, and hustle strung together (and under 30 seconds of play) from Harry G! He absolutely deserves more minutes after this brilliance.

    That dive and flicking the ball behind to a teammate was astonishing! How in the world!!!

    When will Dame pass Clyde for all time scoring leader?

    I bet he does it by the end of next season if he stays healthy. If ends up scoring like he did last season he could pass Clyde before next season's all star break.
