    I hear ya, but you can't dismiss what they brought tonight. Most nights. I think this is real, and I kind of want to see it play out.

    Didn’t get to see much of it. But we must of balled out again? Looks like Scoot had another solid performance. When I did tune in briefly I saw lots of lobs.

    Na they didn't quit, they had to travel and next play the LA teams. They fought hard and got within two in the 3rd. Their defense was good and bothered us at the start of the 4th.

    Blazers played great though.

    We went off from distance, went to lob city, and played premier defense.

    I don't think Battier had the mean streak that we see in Toumani.

    Winning 9 of 10 I'll be shocked if we trade anyone.

    Our goal was to be like the Rockets last season. They ended up 11th in the west.

    Blazers are currently only 4 wins behind that now joke of a Dallas franchise for 11th.

    I still think there's a chance that Rob is gone.

    Ants been lighting it up, and racking up the assists. What's not to like. Our defense ain't suffering.

    True, just two exceptional defenders without elite athleticism that spaced the floor from 3 very well.

    Can't really think of other comps but yes he seems like a 90s type of tough player.

    Halliburton had ZERO points tonight.

    Duop scored more in 2 minutes than Tyrese had all game.

    Terry Porter says "The Bad Boy Blazers are being born."

    I like it.

    I said it earlier but do you see a similarity with Shawn Marion?

    That's actually a really good one, IMO. I think Toumani is more aggressive on offense. But stylistically a very good comparison

    Tayshaun Prince but not quite the shooter.

    No, Marion was more athletic and had that cringe worthy jumper. They might have some similarities but I can never unsee that jumper. No idea how Marion made as many as he did.

    They made several runs and never could catch us.

    Then the game turned into an alley-oop drill.

    Then they pulled their rotation.

    That's quitting, in my book. We took their hearts.
