    Of course and as much as I enjoyed watching Clyde, Dame is the more loyal player.

    This is the 3rd best record (under Stotts) after 28 games for the Blazers.

    22-6, 23-5 and 18-10.

    The first two teams didn't lose their 10th game until game 40 and 41.

    A total travesty. But I guess it's more fuel for Dame's fire. He might go apocalyptic on the league in the next 2 weeks.

    What a fucking fun stretch of basketball this team is playing.

    Best passing and defensive game from Dame this year pretty easily. The end of game shit is just too routine for him right now. Silly stuff we are seeing.

    Roco and DJ are really hitting their defensive stride, Roco hitting shots again. Derrick is starting to find his spots in the offense and Terry is helping him out by using him more as a roll man plus sprinkling in some actions to get him on the move to the rim. Guys are missing him a lot on these plays right now, but excited to see what these look like when Nurk's back in the lineup.

    Ant and Gary playing with the most confidence and poise that we've seen in their young careers.

    Kanter improving defensively throughout the year is a nice thing to see as well.

    I know I'm missing some stuff but overall, just so much fun to watch the joy, belief and determination that this group is playing with right now.

    Little 4 minutes is unacceptable.

    Every time no matter what team he is playing for Redick will have a good game against the Blazers.

    It's stupid. I've listened to a lot of national media stuff and even the guys that are usually pretty unbiased just gloss over what Dame's doing.

    They exalt Steph every chance that they get but not Dame. It's preposterous!

    Mike Wilbon and John Hollinger don’t think he’s a legit MVP candidate.
