    Lillard's clutch shooting again! Keep it up in most games, and you won't hear a sour word from me, Damian.

    Outside, Crabbe hit his shots dependably. Under the basket, Davis was great as usual.

    Aminu continued to shoot bricks off the heel of the basket, when he wasn't shooting that air ball that missed everything by 2 feet.

    The Nets commentators said that Plumlee wanted to escape Lopez' shadow, and that Lopez played harder than usual tonight to show who's better. The crowd booed Plumlee when he shot free throws or dribbled. Yes, Lopez is better, but only because he's taller. I still say that Plumlee's future is at power forward.

    Harkless gets good stats every first half, then fades in the second. Tonight, the same.

    Leonard just needs better coaching that he's getting in Portland. And he needs to be a center, not forward, so he's not trying to guard little guys. Once he gets out of Portland, he'll be like Will the Thrill.

    I missed the 1st half. By the box score, the halftime stars from best to worst were: Blazers-Crabbe, Lillard, Davis, Harkless. Nets-Lopez, Sloan, Young.

    @BobbyMarks42: The Allen Crabbe contract signed in 2013 is going to come back and protect POR in July. AC will be a RFA but with full bird rights.

    @BobbyMarks42: The other bonus with Allen Crabbe come this July is his low cap hold. POR will be able to use cap space if needed and still sign Crabbe.

    Damian Lillard is first NBA player with 30+ points, 10+ assists and 0 turnovers in a road game since Chris Paul on Jan. 6, 2009 (NO at LAL).

    I don't think he will. It's about our record and how many insanely good guards are in the west. Plus Kobe is gonna jack someone else's spot.

    Why do our bench players have + numbers while most of the Starters have - numbers?
    Leonard +17
    Davis +16
    Crabbe +15

    What does all this mean?

    It means our team has balance which is a new concept in Portland

    Smart coaching...that's why Crabbe, Leonard and Davis come off the bench...Iggy does that for the Warriors all the time

    It either means we lost the game or we should trade all of our starters and start the 2nd unit.

    This win puts us a half game out of the 8th seed

    I see. Well we won tonight. I should think those + guys would see more time especially when we are losing. But they don't.

    Lillard this week is averaging 28.3 ppg, 9.7 apg, 5.7 rpg,
    53.6% from the field, including 54.8% from 3 (5.7 threes a game)

    Depending on tomorrow I would think he'd be in the running for player of the week.

    Although it would be nice to have a nice draft pick, I certainly enjoy watching these guys win. Go Blazers!
