    Really? Sure seemed like Simons was … a major issue.

    Was getting harassed by the NO defense. Had at least 3 turnovers and multiple bad shots. I don’t remember any TOs from Norm.

    Dame and Norm have been playing some heavy minutes. I think they are wasting down towards the end of games. Was nice to see Ben have a good game. Hopefully he becomes a little more consistent game to game.

    Whatever was floundering with this team, Chauncey seems to have put an address on it!

    Norm definitely not clutch down towards the end of the game we might have over paid him in the off season. His defense starting to fall but it really started falling off in Toronto of last year if go back in his stats.

    Nice win against a team with a winning record. Great to see Dame being Dame for the first time this season. Actually looking forward to the games coming up, even if they're all against good opponents (besides the Pels) instead of dreading the games is really nice.

    Not to be negative but let's not let this game fool us. This team needs to make major moves because we just let a team that's only a game above .500 back into it in the fourth quarter. If we don't make big moves, even with Dame playing great, we're just mediocre.

    So is Mac for real? When he is on he's ON. No doubt about that. It would be great to get 15 from him a night. Seems to be a pure 3pt shooter. Ant can create a bit more, however. Time to deal Ant for some size?

    The 7 game losing streak is over! Dame with 43 points! This game featured Portland torching the nets in the 1st half and going ice cold in the 2nd half. Come discuss the game with us:

    McLemore is only 6’3? He looks bigger than that

    I said it about a month back but Anthony Davis’ brittle ass is gonna get injured about any minute.

    Karma for ring chasing team

    WOW...Charlotte was really stupid! Why would they waste time doubling the rapidly declining Lillard. That's what I'm telling you man...really dumb move on their part. They should just tank now

    He’s played very limited minutes but I love how Watford defends. He doesn’t look like a rookie on that end and he’s playing out of position too. Doesn’t look like a threat offensively, but we’ll see.

    I absolutely loved big mac mclemore tonight. He was great offensively and he is so much better than CJ defensively.
    At this point, I would trade CJ for just about anything.

    No, he can’t guard a chair. He’s worth trying every game, and roll with him if he’s hitting his shots, and we can hide him on defence. But otherwise (and in my opinion most likely) sit him unless you need a three. That said, I’d love to be proven wrong , and have him be a regular, useful role player off the bench.
