    Lin offered no defense against Lillard; he was abusing Lin on the drive. Douglass kept Lillard outside... for all the good that did.

    I didn't even know Portland was allowed to have one until we finally got one.

    My fantasy team is having an orgasm. Hahahaha.

    My good what an awesome game. D Lil + Batum + LA are deadly.

    Loved Meyers getting the vote of confidence, he was so much better defending the PNR and that's why Stotts pulled Hickson in favor of Leonard.

    Leonard was huge tonight. All these guys did what we know they can do. Leonard took a big step forward tonight.

    That was the case in Houston. But Lin was doing pretty well tonight. And he was in a zone in that P&R offense diming all over the place. They were forced to watch Harden go one on five against a good defender for the majority of crunch time. Douglas brings NOTHING on offense. Dude is like Ronny Price.

    Leonard led the team in +/- tonight at +12... Batum and Lillard each were +10. Smart smart coaching by Stotts to trust Leonard down the stretch.

    So I assume you were a big Damon fan?

    Damon was a career 35% three point shooter ...

    I was younger when Damon was on the Blazers, but he was too streaky for my liking. He was better than the likes of Juan Dixon, Steve Blake or any other PG we had. Damian isn't streaky, ya he may have off nights, but if he is missing he can still make a big shot. Dude is a shooter and good at it.

    Yeah. Win or lose I find myself being able to enjoy what I see ... at least when the starters are in.

    Leonard with a nice performance. As someone mentioned loved seeing him jump in front of Harden on the screens. That was beautiful.

    Funny how at halftime it looked like Lillard was going to have a ho-hum kind of game, probably his worst so far this season, and then..... boom.

    True, he wasn't always on, but when he was on, he was ON. Problem was, too often thought HE was the team.

    I don't miss him. Just thought I'd point out, we've had a relatively decent shooter on the Blazers - although its been a while (hard think its been what? 10 years?).
