    This why resign norm get rid of CJ via trade. Norm is an attack dog thats very aggressive going to rim and much better finisher and physically stronger and also FT shooter than who plays defense. Lillard would be back if his 3s fall like tonight. I want to see Giles play 8-10 min and take shit off kanter on defense under the rim he is invisible and if we attack basket more he is useless, but if we jumpshoot he is great underbasket . He lookin like shit since he got covid shot

    Giles has to be in front of Kanter against good teams, Enes can play against the bad teams

    I'm really excited for the Celtics game because that will tell us a lot. The fact is that Dame played like Dame tonight and it was our third win in a row that we cruised to after playing terribly for like ten games before that. So a win streak is always a good team but I still don't know if we have a prayer of winning in the playoffs. Let's beat the Celtics and prove that we're a legit team. Go Blazers!

    I dunno, maybe I’m crazy, but I kind of enjoyed seeing the Blazers play well.

    They sound Zen-ish

    Let get there first then we can talk about that if it's happened. We are playing very good especially when we are aggressive like powell the last two games. We got take one game at a time.

    come on enjoy good roundball! I want this team to gel with a healthy Nurk, Powell at Power guard, and Melo and Simons scoring of the bench and like Dame said after the game not peak to early.

    Can't keep the 130-point streak going even with Blevins' 3.

    TBH I thought we played Ok but far from great. There were times when we willingly even purposefully took subpar shots. Melo and CJ with their contested mid-range. Dame started ISOing at one point into poor shots. There were times when we moved the ball well through Nurk we got some dunks, layups, and wide open 3’s.

    On defense we let Kyrie get a lot of easy trips to rim. We played decent D when Nurk was in.

    Not bad all in all but we can and must do better.

    Crazy note.
    The Blazers were on the verge of winning three games in a row by 20 points or more for the first time in what seems like ever.
    Giles Technical Foul erased that.

    Oh and for those thinking the Nets are not a good team without Durant or Harden?
    They still played Deandre Jordan, Blake Griffin, Kyrie Irving. Joe Harris, Jeff Green, Landry Shamet, and Mike James. Seven solid players, three of which are All-Stars.
    That team without Durant or Harden could get in the playoffs.

    And they beat them by 20 on the road!

    Just go away. I don't give a s*** that you're a mod, you really just need to leave for a while. This is a hobby, something to enjoy. If you can't find enjoyment from a great game where we beat an excellent team, then you need to evaluate why you're even here. Or as William Shatner told the SNL Star Trek convention, "Get a life".
