    Another win where we made a lot of stupid mistakes. That bodes well.

    During and right after games, it's been awful all season.

    The loading of pages on this site has the efficiency of a Westbrook 3 pointer.
    Garbage.

    Hopefully those who were saying it was such an awful trade are open to changing their mind. Grant/Hart for CJ isn't so bad!

    I have to admit it. I was really worried Hart at the 3 was another Powell at the 3. Not so.
    16 effing rebounds tonight, combined with his usual good defense and smart play.

    If you've seen the Lakers at all, you should know that no lead of theirs is safe.

    Clearly there's a lot of excitement about this year's Blazers--this site hasn't had to handle the amount of traffic it's presently experiencing in a long time.

    I feel that Jerami Grant is everything I wished Darius Miles could have become.

    Not sure who should have been on the floor with 3 seconds left, but once Gp2 gets healthy. It needs to be him over Dame. Easy switch by the Lakers to get Dame covering LeBron.
    That could have been costly. And Chauncey I hope you learned your lesson of having Nurk cover any non-center on the perimeter. There were multiple times when he was out there on LbJ with nobody protecting the rim.

    Late game heroics from Dame and a game winning bucket from Grant propel Portland to a win in LA. The Blazers are now 3-0! Come give your thoughts on the game as we break it all down!

    Blazers should be 0-3. They’ve mostly looked like poop. I’ll take the 3-0.

    I don't recall it being near this slow during the WCF run or the bubble excitement.

    I think you could make a strong case the Blazers shouldn't be 3-0 when every game came down to the very end. Likewise, they shouldn't be 0-3.

    Hart is a fucking warrior. He plays bigger than he is. Love this guy.

    Their games are similar. Love what we’ve seen from Grant so far!
