    As cool as it is to drop 70 in a game. Winning gets me way more giddy.

    I’m really not super stoked. I know he’s one of the elite scorers the NBA has ever seen. I knew he was capable of something like this.

    I’m tired of being deprived of winning basketball.

    We won. It's ok to be happy for a little bit. Won't hurt anything.

    You know what I'm trying to convey. You replied to a comment saying that whining about wasting Dame's prime is misguided because it appears without some kind of fluke he's going to be playing at an exceptionally high level for longer than the worrywarts and woe-is-me crowd want to admit. The Blazers don't control who other teams have and they don't control who they can get ... which is besides the point because we have all this reason to be positive tonight and I'm reading a guy whine essentially a conspiracy theory that our front office isn't doing anything because. checks notes and scratches head, the GM doesn't want to.

    I mean, this is ludicrous. What kind of masochist do some people have to be. At least enjoy what you saw and enjoy what might be for a couple of hours. There'll still be plenty of time to flagellate yourself before you go to bed.

    First question for press conference was “Chauncey why didn’t you play Shaedon more?” and everyone laughed.

    First question of Billups' press conference was (mockingly) asking him why he didn't play Sharpe more. Everyone got a good laugh out of it.

    Ain’t it the truth. Other teams win titles. It’s not impossible. It can be done. There are ways to do it. Why does Portland always have to be an also-ran?

    Dame has the most efficient 60+ point game in NBA history and the most efficient 70+ point game in NBA history…within a month. Pure insanity.

    But did we really win? I don't mean on the scoreboard, but in a totally nebulous, metaphysical sense?

    I mean, we wasted one of Dame's best games without it being Game 7 of the NBA Finals.

    It's not a wasted game to Dame or any of his teammates I guarantee you.....the scoreboard is all that counts in sports winning spectacularly or ugly...a win is a win
