    Yep.
    EVERYONE CONTRIBUTED.
    Shaedon was spectacular, Dame was Dame, Ant was off shooting, but the spacing, and the fact that the defense has to account for him, is still a contribution, Trendon is so smart, Drew was keeping them alive in the first, and really shut Plumlee down in the 2nd half, Jabari Walker doesn't play like a guy who doesn't play!, he was a factor!...and Josh Hart....Boxscore says he sucked....But no way Portland wins this game without him. He accounts for so many possessions, which is what I am really noticing about this team...The Ball Belongs To Them!! It seems they either get or almost get every 50/50 ball, and chances are #11 is in the mix.
    Justice had a tough game tonight, but he just adds a toughness that they all feed off of.
    They all seem to have, and know their roles.

    What I keep thinking is, have we put together a full good game yet?

    In the words of Joe Cronin, "We think teams will be nervous about playing us!"

    That was sloppy, sat both our bigs, still won a road game by 10. I know Charlotte stinks, but we've lost games to bad Charlotte teams before.

    I was almost hoping that my power would go off again in the 3rd quarter until Dame came to the rescue!

    Even if you don't have the most talent on the court you can still win with heart and hustle. This team has that so far this year.

    I'm thinking about a month or so after GPII gets going, we may see a masterpiece or two from this group.

    Dame missing free throws…… there’s a disturbance in the force. He must have felt the loss of Lanny.

    I'm beyond stoked about Sharpe every time he touches the ball I get tingly with anticipation and you just KNOW he's barely scratched the surface. Twice tonight he hung in the air so damn long he changed hi mind double or triple pumped and scored. Unreal to watch.

    We've broken that law at least twice already this season.

    So when GPII comes back where do the minutes come from? Less minutes for Dame and Ant? Hart to Bench? GPII bumping Sharpe in rotation at guard? I hate to think about Sharpe getting less minutes and touches. It's so clear he's the future.

    Well, it's a well known fact it doesn't apply to a Dame Lillard team being down, only to when WE have 100 first.

    We've got the best record on the road right now at 5-1.

    I don't think Billups will be able to not play Sharpe minutes.

    He will.

    Betting GPII will come in for Ant and Sharpe will come in for either or in spurts...

    And thats fine. Looking forward to seeing Sharpe adjust when the league figures him out. That's gonna be a good test.
