    Sometimes that happens CJ, when you go 1 on 4.

    This could end ugly if the Blazers don't decide to play any defense

    Dame's lob passes are just terrible. He has such good vision elsewhere on the court but how you can miss a spot to perhaps the highest leaper in the league by so much are mind boggling.

    Team gets a double digit lead (let's say up to 20). One of two things happen.

    1. The other team makes a run and the game gets ugly and the Blazers maintain a 3-9 point lead and then go into a funk leading to a 3-9 point lead.
    2. The other team makes a run and the game gets really ugly and if the Blazers win, it's barely.

    Happy to see DJJ take a shot within his range. Those ups are crazy!

    It's unfortunate that Stotts' Sytem is unable to maximize Jones' strength. We would see a lot more of this dunks

    I get DJJ plays great D but he’s fairly limited offensively, I really don’t see someone offering him more this offseason at this point.

    Uh oh, Levine is getting hot and the Blazers are letting him walk into wide open 3s! Drop scheme is giving him great looks!
