Lillard is trash with this foul baiting

I feel like this org has failed TMann, just feel like he should be playing a lot more

Eric Gordon, sweet pickup man

Yeah I get his +\- is not otherworldly, but his energy and defense that glues the team is understated, it’s clear to me he belongs on the court on that alone.

22 mpg is plenty fair for that level of production, even forgetting the +/-

Three not counting, nice

Having KL and PG on the court together is probably even more evident on defense. Great job in the 4th here, holding them to 19 points.

Great win. Not sure how I feel about Westbrook closing the 4th but I'll take the win.

Shut that fraud Lillard down...lol

For sure, I do wish he produced more. Maybe next year he’ll produce more, but he’ll be what, 27? It is what it is at some point. I just fear he’ll get traded to another team and explode there , but who knows.

Good to get the win, all that matters.

Per the +/- man, when Morris gets a 0 +/-, he's done his job. But today? Morris with +16. This means he literally put the team on his back and carried them to a W. The +/- man's wet dream come true today.

Would have been nice if the win had made it a 6 game winning streak. Oh well, we are 5-6 since the All-Star break. Other than essentially ending Portland's chances at the play-in, not a lot to gain.

Uh, look at the standings and come back...lol The Suns lost tonight. The 4th seed is VERY possible and if the team keeps winning, they can absolutely grab it.

I mean I am not getting worried about minutes distribution or how they played in this game. They were essentially going through the motions.

We have a very good chance to go 2 games up on Phoenix this week. I think they will be locked in.

yes he did his job
Mann was 0 +/- today--4 points, 1 reb, 4 assists
he did his job too

still waiting for the eye test brigade to explain to us how you can "pad" your plus/minus

Kawhi played 40 minutes today and we needed all of them
