Simple game: Get good shots and make them; stop the opposition from doing the same. Not quite working like such in the first half.

Wow. That was a statement 4th quarter. Honestly one of the more impressive wins all year considering how good the Clippers have been.

CJ looked abysmal in the first half and I was giving him some crap on Reddit but damn did he look like he was burning the house down in the second he almost had a prefect 4th quarter shooting wise. Impressive win by the Blazers and a very dominant 4th quarter that really took the entire Clippers team out of the game.

Missed what looks like a glorious second half. Great road win against a dangerous opponent!

BC, I think this is my favorite GLB so far. No doubt, she's the one that willed the team to victory...

CJ outscored the Clippers by himself in the fourth quarter. 23-20!

This victory has made Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith look good.

Another crazy stat line for nurk and turk; 34 pts 23 boards. I know it is old fashioned to get the Cs involved down low, but how often do teams lose with Wilt Chamberlain stats like that?

Very impressive win. I think we need to focus not only on how the hoop must have looked like a BMW to CJ, but also on how mature Dame has grown over the last two seasons in managing the game. That was true first team All NBA-level floor generalship.

IMHO he has become the most prototypical and well rounded PG in the game.
