    Yeah it's easy to say they are thinking about the break but they stymied New Orleans last night. And now they're playing at home.

    Pretty cool they just dropped 71 on the Bucks in the first half last game and then drop 68 on the Grizzlies this game.

    Anyone else just have this feeling that "okay, eventually it's gonna come back down. It can't be sustained?" And are also enjoying the good play?

    It feels really weird, but as a blazers fan I just feel like I'm perpetually waiting for that other shoe to drop. It's fun! Whatever happens, happens. This is just all refreshing.

    Heck Nas was keeping us in the playoff picture almost by himself before he got hurt.

    Elleby and Hughes go 0-8 to keep the game close

    Ja’s play to me makes me feel like Ivey will be a lock for the top 3. If another guy pops off during march madness, we can can possibly see 1 of the bigs falls out of the top 3. So we might never be out of contention for a top 5ish pick even if we keep winning, so long as SAC/NOP/SAS keep trying to pass us. No need to really really really tank until those teams are mathematically out of contention for the play-in.

    The thing is we have two very important players that aren't even playing in this game. Lillard and Nassir Little. We have Elleby playing instead of little and Josh Hart playing point guard with a second unit instead of Simons or Lillard.

    That doesn't seem right that an official should be yelling really loud at Hart that he didn't seek contact. Isn't that kind of mocking him?

    Great Half.
    But you know The G
    How could you see that?
    I just rewound and you can barely see it for a milisecond.
    But, I think you're right.

    a fun brand of basketball, dare I say this reminds me a little of how the Blazers from early 90’s played. Obviously no where near the same talent but I enjoy watching this brand regardless of who’s playing. Going to be some tough decisions on who stays next year

    the numbers don't lie. Did you see Kyle Anderson? He was one of the players on the crappy shooting list.
