    Huge game from Dame, massive bench performance from Benny Mc and just enough from everyone else to get a win.

    Kudos to 2 guys who didn't have tons of points (10 total combined), but RoCo and Little did a LOT of the 'little' things that helps a team win. RoCo with a game high 10 rebounds, and who would have thought we'd get 8 rebounds, 6 assists and a game high 3 blocks from Nas? Those are things I want to see that shows me he is growing as a player in all facets of the game.

    Well done.

    That was a really fun game to be at. Lillard being Lillard, little just so impressive. Benny Mac was hitting some tough ass shots. 2nd half was meh but it felt like an old Blazer type win.

    Also, I've seen the last 2 wins the Blazers have had in person. I'm gonna have to go to every game huh?

    So, Lillard over 40 and a win? Is it kind of pattern we got here? I mean, like 10 years old pattern?

    When you need a win to NAIL the 30 game prediction on the GOD DAMN HEAD.....who do you call? The only team in the league with a worse defense than us. I'll take it. I need to create a post game show or somethin'!

    RoCo seemed to have way more steals than he's credited for - he was slapping balls away from Hornets all night.

    I think RoCo doesn't work well with Nurk. Neither does Nance, apparently (judging by his run of -ves since he's been starting), but RoCo seems liberated now he's in the middle of the defense.

    Well, they'd have to work very hard, on defense at least.

    Lamelo Ball is going to be really really good with his size, court awareness and passing skills.
