    I thought Simons had a nice run in there. I think his performance in the second quarter was a significant part in the ultimate outcome of the game.

    Blazers pulled Simons and put in Dame. Then put Roco and Jones back in with Kanter and Trent. When that happened this game completely turned around in favor of the Blazers. They couldn't get a stop and they couldn't score but after going back to starters they took control of the game again.
    Of course Dame made shots. That always helps. But they also got a bunch of stops. Defense led to offense and vice versa.

    Remember how bad Little shot the 3 ball in summer league his rookie year? Amazing growth in a fairly short time.
    You just never know about young players.

    I had to work late so I didn’t see the game. From looking at the box score it seems like the guys are really settling into their roles. It’s nice to see.

    Melo assisted on one Lillard 3-pointer. But didn't score any of those 18 points.

    He did dish one of the assists. I think he got a hand on a pass that ended up in Roco's steal count also.

    I so very badly want Little to be our starting small forward.

    Never question his commitment to the TEAM. Something that was always in doubt with Hassan.

    Actually, Blazers pulled GT3 and put Dame in. Two minutes later, GT3 returned and replaced Simons.

    Honestly, Kanter's level of commitment to team has always been one of the things that impressed me about him. It's far higher than most, IMO.
