    Grant had a shit game and definitely did not "earn" his 32 minutes. 3-14 with 3 rebounds.

    Ayton is the heart and soul of this team. This win is why I should never bet on sports. I'd have lost my shirt betting we'd lose this one.

    The refs don't usually call those.

    I was worried. Two possessions in a row.

    Four games in and Flagg-failing, .500 ball will not get you a good draft pick.

    Clippers got hosed by not having a challenge. That ball was clearly off Camara but awarded to Portland. It's a good lesson on not wasting your challenges

    Can't deny that this is precisely what @Phatguysrule has been warning about, that Ant/Grant/Ayton will cause us to win games unnecessarily.

    God you fans rooting for losses are so depressing. It was a good win for the youngest team in the NBA. Enjoy it.

    That was a strange call. I thought it was obvious.

    Blazers were +8 underdogs - I seriously considered betting on the Blazers as I'm not a believer at all in that Clippers roster and that is a lot of points they were favored.

    I bet on GS to beat us game1 so its not like I will only bet for the Blazers to win.

    While Grant lollygagged the whole game and missed a huge , open 3-pointer near the end.
