I think the bucks are on the end of a back to back, so maybe that has something to do with it.

Bah! They're at home so no excuses. I gotta check out the box score cuz I cant imagine how they scored 129 points with no Lillard.

I thought it weird to see players huddling up after a game but I thought I'd never see Melo in a Blazers uniform slapping hands with Matthews and Rolo

Looking at the box score a lot of portland guys had big games.

ORB% 36% v, 18%.

Crap, I missed the game. I see Whiteside and Lillard didn't play and Blazers kept it competitive. Actually, it looks like other than a bad 1st quarter, Blazers might have won.

Little only played 17 mins but it seemed like he did solid on giannis or at least was aggressive with him. I’m annoyed he only played 17 mins but maybe he was just in foul trouble?

I see CJ took 39 shots. I need to find a recording of the game. I have to see if he actually got 39 good shots. It isn't easy to get that many good shots.

Edit: He got 29 shots, not 39. 29 shots is a lot to get while also getting 10 assists.

Skal had an impressive stat line.

He only had 1 foul (first 30 seconds he got into the game). I don't know why he didn't get more run. He shot the ball well, and was mixing it up down low. He wasn't getting boards though, and that was killing the Blazers all game long. Maybe Stotts wanted someone in there who would grab a rebound (though Tolliver sucked at that too). Hopefully his minutes go up moving forward

I really love Little.

Not a bad showing from the guys considering all the injuries!

I'm watching the game now, almost through the 1st quarter. So far, Tolliver has guarded Giannis the most. Little is fearless in the open court.

Stotts is a magician. He gave an interview and at the same time he was on the bench coaching starting the 2nd quarter.

Melo can't jump but he still moves very well.

Skall is getting his big chance and is playing well.

I expect Whiteside to be fined if NBA still has a dress code.

It's crazy how McCollum can have a 37 and 10 night and nobody mentions it. But God forbid he has a bad night. :lol:

I liked what I saw while short handed. We really just had bad luck with the new roster coming together at the wrong time. If we get healthy and don't start Toliver or Rio at pf again we can turn this ship around.

I watched the game. Tolliver did a tremendous job on Giannis. He goaded Giannis into taking a lot of outside shots that he missed. Trent looked good as well. I know everyone's hair is on fire, but I believe this team is going to be fine. I like all of our players. Were back down to 14 contracts with Gasol gone and I like all 14 players including Little and Trent. I don't want any trades. We can get it done with these players.

CJ was steady all night. They had some great defense on him and couldn't stop him.

Simons didn't have a great game. I think he's taking to many early shots.
