    Dame played 36. Would have liked it to be like 10 less minutes against this team.

    Good win. I haven't seen to many games this year but what see really good mix of players. Mentally tuff especially on defense and never quit in this team. Been really impressed with Sharpe so far this year and I see walker some run tonight.

    Remember Dame pretty much brought them back from down 12 single-handedly.
    Like 10 straight points or something like that?

    I know but then there are times where he just out of control on the floor. Later this year teams will force him to shoot from the outside and he has a poor shot most of the time. We will see if this experiment works later this season. Right now he is working within the system

    The turnover issue needs to be dealt with.

    Still, it was a win in the middle of a tough road trip. I doubt anyone will turn it down.

    It’s crazy because it stops as soon as Billups calls a timeout and chews on them for it.
    They can take care of the ball. We’ve seen it.

    Something cool is that we feel like a good team now, in that we'll find a way to beat the teams we should. I haven't felt that way about this team since 18-19. If we went down 19-2 in the quarter in the last few years we would have folded. Tonight they turned on a switch and just stopped fucking around.

    Blazers improve to 5-1 on the road, winning in Charlotte without Nurk and Grant. Come talk about the win with us!

    Portland started the 3rdQ with the worst 6 minutes of the season....Last year's tanking Blazers looked at those 6 minutes and were jealous

    but Dame said "hold my beer' and led the Blazers back to their early season magic.

    Portland lost the turnover battles 11-17 and had some really bad ones. They gave up 20 offensive rebounds. Dame & Ant missed 7 FT's. And they still won by 10 on the road. Either Portland is pretty good or Charlotte is pretty bad

    Sharpe was fantastic (+30) some absolutely phenomenal shots that he made look easy.
    Watford, for only his 2nd game back, was very encouraging. He made some mistakes but is another guy who needs minutes. Just not sure where they will come from.

    Nice to get Nurk and Grant a rest night and still get a win.

    If there was ever a thing I questioned Stotts about it was not being able to see these types of opportunities to rest a player.
    Great call by Billups and his staff on playing those end of bench players that can contribute and need minutes to grow and excel.

    Is anyone else starting to get that feeling of "yeah, the team is playing horrible, but...they're not out of it"?

    and also the feeling of being a little giddy whenever they see a Shaedon play?
