    Hero ball trying to rear its ugly head.

    As great as he is , tonight’s game is why having your pg as your best player can be a challenge


    This team needs to stop dribbling, and pass the fucking ball

    I wish the NBA went back to 8 teams in the playoffs, to encourage tanking more of course.

    Reddish on a poor shooting night against a bad team goes 13-6-8-2 stl, 1 t/o. Showing promise.

    If he was on our team he’d be untouchable.

    With his 31 points tonight against Detroit, Damian Lillard passed Gail Goodrigh in the NBA/ABA Career Points list to move into position 65. Next up, Eddie Johnson with only 5 more career points than Lillard. I'm going to go out on a limb and predict that Lillard will be able to overcome that gap in his next game.

    Lillard also recorded his 3rd career triple-double, moving him up one spot in the Blazers all-time list -

    Although I'm somewhat in tank mode, I'm a fan that wants to be entertained. I love to watch Lillard play. Gotta appreciate greatness -

    Lillard had almost as many rebounds as our entire front court combined. Just more proof that he is carrying this woeful team on his back.

    bizarre game. having to play our starters 40 mins on a b2b to beat a tanking team... and we nearly blow it.

    this team needs a sledgehammer taken to it.

    OMFG! I can't believe Lillard didn't score this much.

    TRADE HIM NOW!

    Until he got a contract extension, then everyone would hate him.

    Lillard was about 5 misses away from having a monster 40 piece triple double.

    “I’m telling them that we’re playing to try to be in the postseason and we’re putting our best effort out there and you’re looking at me like I’m crazy."

    Is Damian really chasing this playoff spot, while Cronin is trying to set himself on draft? Is that how team works?

    All I wanted to see after AllStar was Sharpe taking more shots. Today he was 2 of 2 and forum is quiet about "our future superstar" like he wasn't there.

    It was the Dame & Grant express. "All aboard!" Shaedon was the caboose.

    If you forget about Cams history....off and on at Atlanta, Knicks, benched on both teams etc. etc.

    Just looking at his games here and his unselfish play, hard to not be really excited about this kid.

    I like him. I think he has a lot of talent. My concern is his BBIQ.

    He said this to Casey - "That’s how I was in high school, I was free, wasn’t thinking too much and when I’m not thinking, that’s when I play my best, when I’m zoned into the game."

    This is a thinking mans game. Guys who played better when they're not thinking are Travis Outlaw, Thomas Robinson, Darius Miles, etc.

    Notice a trend?
