The fans that don't understand trying to win games, even if it's the 7th or 8th seed, don't understand how good this is for the team. To understand what it takes to win at the highest level.
Another very solid game from Kris Murray as well. Just a bunch of little possession-winning plays.
Blazers are coming hot just in the right moment!!
Lets go!!
Scoot pressing and knocking the ball out of bounds, then Toumani standing and shouting from the bench that the clippers only having 2 seconds to beat the half court violation, and the blazers keeping the press to force the turnover was awesome. I don’t think the clippers had much fun dribbling tonight.
maybe deni will take the blazers to a champ!! and their last game will ne a win !!! deni already did it in europe. but all blazers palyers need to be great too
I was there & we had the house rocking.
I believed in our blazers making to the playoffs all year long. Anything is possible people
50 wins was attainable with good health and no coaching change
Thybulle is a shiny unicorn on the hill.
Thanks Mike, we did it and we need to continue til play in and play off ffs, because we played good defense, a playoffs defense, and we habe a star, we are ready to fight, go Blazers
Let's get the job done against the Kings, and then the Suns
That felt good! Nice show Mike!
I am more interested in a winning regular season. We will get to play in at least post season game no matter which way it falls otherwise so let’s go secure a winning season!
Also thanks Mike for a great week of content.
Let's hope for some hold on to your joy moments on Sunday and next week.
Matisse is my favorite player in the NBA. Hope the blazers find a reason to keep him for the rest of his career
There’s gonna be a lot to talk about when the season ends. I love this team but they aren’t there yet. Personally, I’m not a fan of the big swings. Trading all the youth for Giannis or Kawhi seems likely to leave us old and ready to rebuild again. But… simply hoping for internal development could also be a fool’s errand. I feel like this team is where Indiana was with Sabonis, good but with a visible ceiling. We need smart trades, but who’s gonna be in charge of those decisions?
Clingan having big box scores while simultaneously having very negative +/- is something that I've been a bit worried about lately. Can we discuss this in more detail? Is it "just" perimeter D?
That was a fun game to watch
Am I wrong or does getting 9th keep next years pick and getting 8th mean we don't get it?
Rip City baby! That is all.
