    I'm thinking maybe this defense we've been playing lately isn't a fluke. Will be interesting to see what it looks like with Lillard. I don't see why we can't sustain.

    You said, "if we had Damian, we get the win. " It's not like our offense didn't put up enough points tonight. A win tonight would have required defending the break substantially better. Maybe Damian doesn't cough up the ball as many times as CJ, or maybe he does? But just adding his output on offense wasn't the issue tonight.

    And if Damian had played, CJ probably doesn't put up 26 in the first half.

    Or he would've put up 30 cause Dame was taking pressure off him.

    On international TV, we played with effort, and took a lead into the second half; with our best player out, and our second best player outplaying everyone on the reigning Western Conference Champions.

    If we follow this effort up with a win on international TV against LAL tomorrow night; we'll go a long way towards impressing the national NBA media, and the league as a whole.

    Given the effort show by the players tonight, I think they're up to the challenge of proving that we're better than our record indicates.
