    In this game you saw what works for the Blazers, and then you saw them inexplicably go away from it, then get saved by their superhero. A microcosm of this team. But at least we're getting wins, as last year this would be a loss.

    you saw what happens when you have a 7 minute scoring slump in the 4th is what you saw....we could not hit a shot....nobody on the roster could....Melo finally hit one ...Enes helped win that endgame as well.....you win or lose as a team....just a bad stretch of shooting and all of those shots were makeable...even Dame said he played poorly leading up to that run.

    No he was here.... waiting for our boys to lose the lead and then informing us how amazing some guy named Dork is. And how fantastic OKC’s coach is and how unbelievably talented the Thunders young core is. OH yeah and how shitty Stotts is as a coach and how he feels so sorry for Dame and he deserves better!

    If we sit Dame tomorrow like you and some other guys think we should and we lose, he's going to talk about how we should trade Dame because he's over the hill and it's time to just hit reset. If it's negative, he'll go there.

    Nas is a fucking baller. He should be way higher in the rotation.

    Imagine if he had the same green light Melo has for no reason

    You're forgetting to focus on the types of shots they were getting and hope they were getting them. Sure, hypothetically they could've made more, but they were settling for far worse shots than they were earlier in the game. The Thunder ratcheted up the defense at the point of attack and we didnt adapt or adjust, and instead let our offense completely fall apart into a stretch where we shot bad shot after bad shot. Most of them were 3s leading to long rebounds that OKC was able to grab on the run and turn it into fastbreak opportunities.

    Kobe played good games sure but only really remember one end of game winner.
    Also for a very long time the Blazers held the Lakers winless here in Portland.
