    One of the best all-around spurts ever by CJ.

    That last 3 minutes of the half you just can't play much better on both ends. But the defense fuel the offense in that time frame. CJ and Norm big steals and Nurk big block but pushing the ball was really nice to see.

    Well, a few minutes ago I was gonna say we should be up by way more than we are with all the turnovers and open looks we got. Nice flurry at the end. Still we should be up 20.

    It seems like forever that we ran like that. Dame, CJ, and Norm look great out there together when they run....and with this type of ball movement too

    I hear you... However, our roster isn't selected at random draw like your poker hand. We have built a roster with poor point of attack defenders.

    I'm not sure there is a center in the league that would make us a top 10 defensive squad while running out the perimeter defenders on our roster.

    I had to stop watching the game. I got super-winded because I watched the Blazers play defense for the first time in years.

    because it was so much fun:

    0.0 CJ McCollum makes 13-foot two point shot (Damian Lillard assists) 52 - 66
    30.5 Norman Powell makes driving layup (Damian Lillard assists) 49 - 64
    50.0 CJ McCollum makes dunk 49 - 62
    1:05 Damian Lillard makes 28-foot three point shot (CJ McCollum assists) 49 - 60
    1:22 CJ McCollum makes two point shot 49 - 57
    1:46 Damian Lillard makes three point jumper (Jusuf Nurkic assists) 49 - 55
    2:18 Norman Powell makes free throw 2 of 2 49 - 52
    2:55 Damian Lillard makes 25-foot step back jumpshot 49 - 51

    I'll give CJ some credit in this game: no sign at all of MeJ, he was a ball-mover instead of a ball-stopper that half

    and Dame sure looks a lot like younger Dame. Now, if he can just get to the FT line some

    I'm still wincing about that Dozier injury

    Do you have an example quote where he talks like he’s a superstar?

    Shaq has nothing to say during the halftime show because the Blazers are winning

    by the way, if people like to switch back and forth by remote, on ESPN it's #1 Gonzaga and #2 UCLA. Halftime there too but Gonzaga is stomping the bruins

    I hope he’s that good. Mathews seemed more willing to fire up and make tough contested step back 3’s which came in handy when we struggled to get open looks. But yeah I can see the similarities.

    I think it’ll be Gonzaga vs Duke in the final

    CJ is playing a nice game so far on both ends.
