    Not to be an ass, but the honest reality is we would be just as good had we....I just think this team is that deep. Dame has earned the opportunity to lead the drive.

    It may have already been mentioned, but 8 teams turnovers tonight is an impressive stat for anyone in the league, but especially us, given how bad we've been in that area. Those extra 8 possessions are probably the difference between winning and losing.

    Hey, this team is playing too damn great for some of you to be so upset at each other. Please, please stop with the personal insults.

    I know I've missed some insults in some of the threads lately, I've been really busy and I apologize for that.

    If you still feel the need to insult someone you are always free to insult me.

    So, you're kinda like Rip Wheeler, on Yellowstone.

    (btw...nobody wants to brawl with Rip, either.)

    Seriously, have been reading accounts and watching highlights.

    Chemistry of this team seems off the charts.

    I was wrong about Grant. He's found the happy medium between being a defensive specialist who complements on the offense end and being a star go-to guy on offense really, really well. Seems like one of several guys on our team who fit the definition of "ultimate team player." But the shake of Zion and the two-hand dunk in traffic is one of the plays of the year, so far (btw, Zion plays defense like a cinder block).

    To go to New Orleans and beat a Pels team with all its key players and, of course, C.J. while we were missing Dame, Nurk, and Shaedon is amazing. Funny thing to tell you how good this team is playing -- the ESPN radio updates didn't even mention we won in NO but double figures without Dame. Oh, yeah, they also called Ant "Simmons" again.

    Man, looks like Chauncey has that Greg Popovich vibe. Resting players and whoever he put on there just produce and get it done.

    Both teams played hard.

    Blazers played better!

    In their defense, Ant and Simmons are really similar players.

    Another great Blazers win.

    Thought we played really well today and coped with CJ, BI and even Zion really well. BI and Zion playing under foul trouble got us over the line. Interesting to see the small line-ups mostly working, Valanciunas was redundant.

    Jerami Grant superb again and we moved the ball great, looking after the rock this time!
