    One of the "taking care of business" victories we saw earlier in the season.

    Honestly it’s just anyone who they think is playing like shit that day. Nurk and ant seem to be the typical targets this year.

    I have no problem giving him his due. He just needs to get in better shape.

    This team looks sooo different with a healthy Dame. Who knew, our superstar player is a difference maker.

    Wow, Mathurin 5-14. They need to trade him quickly, Dude can't shoot from 3. (o-2)
    What a waste of a pick. only 1 rebound and 1 assist? Pure Trash.

    if there is one criticism I have of this team tonight, it's the continued inability to put the foot down when we have an opponent on the ropes. no reason at all that this was a game in the fourth. That lineup to start the fourth needs some work. They've done this a few times this season.

    I thought there was a lot to like about this game

    like people have already said, the Blazers are different with a healthy Dame helping set the table. Hart was definitely hobbled a bit out there tonight but he still grabbed 10 rebounds, 4 more than anybody else. True Grit

    I keep reminding myself about how sure I was before the season started than Grant was not a 2nd option level player. He keeps proving me wrong because he has been 2nd option worthy, and even 1st option worthy a few times. The Blazers will be in pretty good shape if Grant is their 3rd option

    I thought Nurkic was fine tonight. Not sure why the criticisms?

    Nurk had highest/most points per shot of any Trail Blazer tonight.

    I thought the Pacers played very well and presented a number of problems with their length and movement and we still crushed them.

    Correct. It's what a good rounded team looks like and you wanted to trade Dame after game 1. :)

    Totally different feel with Lillard playing.
    The leader is back.
    I never had the feeling that game was in question.

    Aldo. Bro. I've been reading posts on here for several years. I used to think I was a negative person until I came across you. I still say I am pretty pessimistic, but you take it to a whole new level. 100% of your posts consist of you bashing the team. If the team starts to play well, you magically disappear. I've got a challenge for you during the Denver game. For every three negative comments you post, come back with a positive one. I'd like to see if you can add anything positive. If you want to be negative, totally your call. But maybe try to throw in a positive comment every so often. No one likes bitching 24/7.
