    Do you think that the shot from DJJ gave him a minor concussion and then the shot at the end of the game that came from Randle could have made it even worse? If so isn't that on the training staff for not noticing and taking proper actions?

    So you're saying Donovan couldn't beat a team where only 1 player was playing well? You'd think someone with 2 all-nba players, both good defenders, would be able to scheme up something. Or maybe the coaching just doesn't really matter that much. OKC fans sure thought Donovan blew it, but I guess all fans think that.

    Yeah, we can be frustrated with Stotts and still appreciate that he does excel at times.

    Lillard saved Terrys ass big time in the OKC series

    Actually I think it was Curry. OKC had to cover Curry and well as CJ and there was no way to hold Lillard down.

    Without his hot streak we would have been ordinary. You are spot ON!

    January 30th is my sister in law's birthday and with that obscure fact, the Blazers will win.

    Yes, more of this! If you can do both, that's an accomplishment many cannot.

    Except he was not hot against Denver and we went on to beat them despite the Nuggets being the best home team that season.

    Having a 45% three point shooter was a nice advantage. Going to see very different looks vs people shooting 30%.

    Initially, OKC was the subject but your mention of the Denver series was also another Dame appreciation.

    I agree Dame was amazing against OKC, top top notch! Not so much against Denver, though he required so much attention, it allowed others to produce. Love having him on our squad!

    So according to your past posts, this should make you happy. So we shouldn’t see any negative posts tomorrow night from you right?

    I am very serious when i say they need a third player that is consistent. Curry was that piece. Average defender that would absolutely make another team pay for leaving him open. Trent has shown signs of this. I'm still hoping!

    Yes it does. I want the lottery pick. No use to give rockets our pick this year if we make the playoffs just to be sacrificial lambs for the good teams.

    I said it before and I’ll say it again Curry was very nice for us. We haven’t really been the same since left. Great defender too
