    is the game worth watching?

    Just checked the box score - looks all kindsa odd

    meyers getting teh Vonleh treatment, starting and ending with 13mins and mostly outplayed by the bench.
    aminu - 40mins 5pts
    looks like henderson had a good game

    is that pretty much it? or worth checking it out ?

    I know you're joking, but did you know that Nic Cage's real name is Nicholas Coppola, and he chose his stage name based on the character "Luke Cage" because he was such a big comic book fan.

    The more you know.

    I've also got the signed Blazer Dancers calendar...now we have the autographs of the male and female Blazers for the season..that's my secret weapon..I have Voodoo dolls for the other 29 teams in the league and an endless supply of pins so when the planets align..I can always stick it to a team like the Rockets ..the Harden doll has over 300 pins now and I've used two gallons of chicken blood...you're welcome!

    On Talkin' ball, they are talking about how the Blazers were so conservative on defense earlier in the year, and were last in forcing turnovers etc, but now they've implemented a more aggressive defense.

    Are you being facetious? This might be the most impressive win of the season! The Blazers showed grit, determination, and resolve.

    This game is a must-watch!

    Nice highlight video from ESPN -



    From this picture, I'd say Jeff Green tipped it in, and Crabbe was the closest Blazer -

    I think it is really sad that the refs , after all these years, still fall for the blatant flops. Impressive win for the Blazer to keep their cool and pull it out.

    Crabbe guided the tip, Gerald followed the tap...Green tipped it in

    Looks like Lillard did well. He was on tonight from the looks of the box score and highlights. I caught the 1st Q and last two min into OT only. So that's good to see, loved how he leads a team that's one thing I have to give the guy. Great leader.

    Cj stepped up, again. He's very consistent is one thing that impresses me. Every night he pretty much shows up.

    Great win tonight

    Looked to me that Hendo touched it last before it went in.

    Just got done watching this one off of the DVR and I couldn't believe the blatant missed calls from the officials tonight. Not only did they let the crowd dictate more than a few calls tonight, as you mentioned they fell for the flops, weren't consistent with the block/charge, and flat out missed tons of calls.

    Sometimes I think we should change the team name to the Portland Dangerfields, we get so little respect.

    Gasol better be more careful about breaking bad with Meyers. Imagine the ignominy of a poster depicting him getting backhand bitch-slapped by an angry-looking giant Bieber! That poster would probably show up in every team's locker room. Oh My!
