    The Blazers have won 3 straight games after losing CJ McCollum to injury. Of course, those 3 games were at home and against teams that had losing road records.

    With CJ still out, Seth will get more minutes. And when Seth gets more minutes, he scores more points. When Seth scores in double digits, the Blazers win games. Portland is 17-0 when Seth scores 10+ points. I think it would be wise to get Seth some more shots.

    This is the final game of the final homestand of the season. The Blazers are going for the homestand sweep. Keep calm and keep winning!

    My answer is a Dunk. However the .9 shot was the most pumped Ive ever been (watching a basketball game).

    Once more, the west is just a dog fight until the last game. Lose and you are #8 seed. Win and you ca climb to #5. We need to win the games we are supposed to win to keep up with Houston and stay away from those #5-#8 spots.

    I guess the shot depends on the situation. A breakaway dunk has always been the most exciting play during a game but a game winner from three point will bring the house down. Then there is a poster dunk over lets say Draymond Green. That might be pretty exciting also.

    Poster dunks or put back dunks are games changer and the last 3 point shot to win the game. The come behind block like Zach has done couple times is pretty exciting and game changer too.

    Really weird but the most excited I get about basketball plays on offense is passing. The Blazers had a play against the wizards earlier this year with like 10 passes that led to a great wide open score that was awesome. Or the play last night where it started with Enes and ended with Enes I love, great passing where the ball is finding the right guy, no ones doing too much.

    Hard to answer the question. I love watching a spectacular dunk, (Most of Jake's) but at the end of a close game, a three pointer is more important than a two pointer.
    Dame's 3 pointer (+1) last night got me a little more pumped than Nurk's dunk. (But it was really close)

    I was thinking about Dame's shot last night and how it relates to his being "clutch". There was that thread a few days ago rating players' performances in the last 30 seconds of games, as if that's the standard for being "clutch". To me, it's hitting that one big shot that takes the air out of the opponent and makes them think that they're going to lose. That was Dame's shot last night even though it came with about a minute thirty left on the clock.

    With 10 games left, the Blazers are 1 game ahead of last year's pace, and 2 game behind the 2014-15 pace.

    Of the remaining 10 games:
    - 5 opponents have records 500 or above.
    - 6 games are on the road.
    - 4 games are against the East.

    I'm guessing we'll go 7-3 in the remaining 10 games, and finish with a record of 52-30. Will that be good enough for the 3rd seed?

    I'm looking forward to the playoffs this year. This team has a lot of potential. Can they put it together at the right time and make a deep run in the playoffs?

    I picked dunk over 3, but a strong shot-block gets my attention more than either of those.

    Some of the Zach blocks bring a smile to my face!

    Questions:
    If you switched Dame and DRussell, would the PTB east make the finals?
    Would the PTB West make the playoffs?

    You have Portland Trail Blazers vs Portland Trail Blazers. You better change it before HCP sees it.
