    Yeah, that's the guy. Couldn't remember his name but totally remembered what he looked like.

    Dame's efficiency is elite right now, especially for a guy getting over 27 points per game.

    Honestly, other than Bill Walton's MVP season, we might be seeing the best individual season by a Blazer player ever.

    Frickin' important game...takes away the tie breaker if needed down the road...Go Blazers! Meyers and the bench came to play! Good to see this win!

    Very solid game by Meyers tonight. 27 minutes and he was working hard the whole time.

    Dame playing very well. Clyde's 91-92 season was awfully special as well and ended up in the Finals losing to the GOAT.

    Nice job by the 2nd unit. I give Stotts thumbs up by letting Leonard Zach and Turner to finish the game. Leonard 12/8 and Zach 10/7 nice job by both players.

    Dame is shooting an absurd percentage from 3 lately. Really hope he can sustain this for longer than usual this year

    Always nice to get a win. They needed to take care of home court.

    And with strength will come better balance which will allow him to get to his spots offensively, defend w/o fouling and just better hold his position overall.

    Still learning how to read the game make the simple play offensively, but he's gotten better here.

    It's a process, but it's going to be worth it in the end.

    3-5 years for a big to get up to speed you got to figure. In Meyers case 7-8???

    Meyers played very little basketball and even in college he didn't play a long time...he had to get some instincts..still does in some areas...other draft picks are born with a basketball like Seth Curry

    He is playing pretty well now. Of course he has holes in his game. Just happy there are some good things happening for him and he is helping the team get some wins.

    Olshey will probably give him an extension this summer because of games like this...

    nice win against a team that uglies-up most games. Father time may be knocking on Gasol's door I think

    good thing Dame woke up in this game because CJ never did

    Super duper play from the bench tonight. Awesome victory considering the slow start, against a quality opponent. Bravo! The 3rd qtr. play has been spectacular the last couple of games on both ends. Dame's play on the defensive end has been stellar. His anticipation and timing made for two blocks that were just as key as his shooting. It would be nice if he got a little more respect from the refs though. Just can't say enough about how the bench has turned around their play. Curry is starting to look like the Curry in Dallas, and THAT! is a wonderful thing to behold. Go Blazers!!
