    Didn't even need to break a sweat.

    I felt the Blazers just kind of took it easy in this one. Even when we were down after one and at the half, there never was a feeling that they couldn't put it into an extra gear the Pistons lacked.

    They are looking good. Anybody that thinks we don’t have a chance in the playoffs is just plain wrong.

    Nice win for this team we play solid on both ends the 2nd half. Dame had double double and now he probably could get every game with the weapons around him. Covington continue his good 3 point shooting and Powell fill the stat sheet even though he got only 10 shot attempt. 31 points off the bench not bad. We won the rebounds battle by 1 but the good thing we only gave up only 5 offense rebounds.

    Let's do this versus actual elite or even good teams and then we're ready to compete

    Milwaukee on Friday will be the true litmus test to see where this team is truly at.

    We can get Norman more looks if we play faster. But increasing the pace will only result in even more defensive troubles for this team.

    The shot distribution needs to change a bit. Tonight was OK. Dame with 19, CJ with 16. Nurk looks like Marc Gasol out there on the high post finding cutters and shooting only when he has to. And Roco highly efficient in his 10 looks.

    But Melo with 13 sticks out like a sore thumb. Those no pass possessions where he takes contested fadeaways are just not necessary with the kinda offensive weapons we have.

    Maybe. I won’t freak out if we lose though. First game back after a road trip has been tough for us in the past.

    True, the first home game after a long road trip are usually difficult spots but they need to make it competitive. The last time they played Milwaukee they got run out of the gym. And the last time they faced a team with a winning record, Dallas embarrassed them at home.

    Blazers complete a 4-0 road trip behind a big second half against the Pistons. Join the Blazers Uprise Postgame Show if you want to talk about the game!
