Hell of a way to start the 4th quarter Vonleh setup for the slam dunk by Pat.

Connaughton as a 7th or 8th man is okay. He has some skills that can help a team but will not be a major factor good or bad most games

It is.... I just wish we could see them both get going outside of Lillard's 2nd half against Toronto it's mostly been mediocre to subpar games for both of them to this point.

Stotts needs to find a way to get some motion back into the offense. It's mostly stalled this season so far

Connaughton is making some nice passes though

CJ has really been a major factor in a lot of Blazer losses right now. His percentages may be fine, but he's really had a lowkey bad start to the season. Honestly... Nurkic, Lillard, and CJ have all looked pretty bad overall to start the season, it's kind of stunning that they've actually won as much as they have when you think about how Portland's unqeustioned best players have been mostly bad.

Connaughton with that Crabbe defense out there.

Nice plays by the Blazers Lillard keeping it going in the 4th and CJ finally hitting a shot.

I think if you isolate Lillards stats to the 4th quarter they look a lot better, he seems to bring his A game in the 4th and his B game the rest of the time.

Man.... it's sooooo difficult to watch CJ be a major negative. He's really hurting more than doing good this game. Feels like he's got 15 turnovers by himself.

This is a very good game with a little bit of an old-school feel at times.

Soooooo glad my complaints are reverse jinxes this year.

Damn Lillard with the big time pass to the wide open CJ.

WTF is up with CJs ballhandling tonight.....

maybe im blind but i could swear both Utah´s last two 3pointers shooters were on the line?!

Seeing Lillard drive to the rack is a site for sore eyes. I swear he did this WAYYY more last year.

He did..... this isn't really the game for him to do it too much. But he's been getting to the rack a bit again tonight.

Get Harkless the **** out of the game though... Vonleh is a much better matchup right now for Portland.

This is an ugly end to the game for both teams.
