    Covington might be my favorite Olshey trade outside of the Nurk one. He better stay a long time.

    Saying this for years
    It's a road win, so it's a good win. We actually played so well in the first 18 minutes of the second half that we fell into our bad habit of guys taking turns going 1-on-5 trying to make a highlight shot and letting the door open for the Raptors, but we made enough shots to keep them from tying it up.

    One thing really peeves me, though. When DJJ took the ball out and nearly had it stolen by VanVleet with 6 seconds left ... we had 2 timeouts and they're pressing ... why aren't we automatically calling one and taking the ball at halfcourt. That was a braincramp from everyone that almost was a disaster.

    Another road win!
    A bunch of great things to say about this game.
    Blazers played some of their best ball all season even without hitting the three ball.
    When Nurk gets off minutes restriction and back in good shape he will be huge for this team.
    How many Blazers had double digits in scoring for this game?
    Blazers could very well be a top 5 team in this league in the next couple weeks.

    This happened 4 times in that game leading to 12 points. Blazers play good defense and a loose ball leads to an open look 3.

    Behind a strong 3rd quarter defensively, the Blazers beat the Raptors to go to 3-0 on their 4 game road trip. Join the Blazers Uprise Postgame Show to talk about the game!

    Portland's DNA has been pretty consistent over the last 7 seasons: Beat up on all the lottery and fringe playoff teams; struggle against the good teams. That's a formula for making the playoffs, but that's not a good formula for playoff success. I don't see much in this blazer team, yet, to make me think the formula is different this year

    I'll take 3 in a row on the road! 5th in the West. A season high 10 games over 500! Wahoo!

    You mean stotts formula. He is such a genius that he finished game with 1 extra timeout in his pocket. I guess they carry over to the next game. Unbelievable magic by stotts. Or Lillard inbounding the ball twice on possessions was the most insane thing i have ever seen

    The defense is still atrocious. The team’s playoff fortunes won’t change until that issue is addressed. And we all know what that is going to take.

    I watched that also. Kind of seemed like he was going after the ref again. It would be better if he would stay with the play.
