    To steal a road win playing Greg Brown late and Watford/Winslow down the stretch is FANTASTIC.

    That was fun!

    Very impressed with Ant tonight in the 4th. I was afraid he would force things coming back in........ maybe wanting to get 50? It would have been easy for him to start forcing shots right away but was content with allowing Grant to shine.

    Ant is so clutch with his FTs.

    Who would have thought the Blazers would league the lead (tied with Denver) with the most road wins at this point in the season?

    Who would've thought that we would have a losing home record at the same time.

    By any chance did you mean KG and not KD?

    Because Durant had a really good rookie year, averaged 20 points and looked really good.

    great road win

    * why would anybody complain about Watford? He's just a solid player on a very cheap contract, and he seems to do the things Portland needs

    * when Ant gets locked in he's close to unstoppable. Scalding hot at times. But still, the most encouraging thing to me is he's really beginning to get to the FT line, and make them when he gets there. Yeah, he had some bad turnovers but those were forgivable errors

    I have said this before but I think Watford allows the Blazers to use Grant at SF more often. A Grant, Nurk, Watford front line is long (all with a 7.2" wing or better) and two decent ball handlers. Pair them with Dame and Ant and you have 3 excellent 3pt shooters on the floor as well

    Yes no shit, i was kinda shoked to see him playing good. Always thought he's just a guy that can jump high but definitely no NBA Player. Feel more confident now about him

    Durant’s shooting percentages were awful.

    Yeah, but what about Ant’s dramatic drop-off in 3 point shooting this year that you keep talking about every game? Oh, and we won this game.
