The only thing that makes me happier than the 13 point lead is Carmelo getting his shot sent back to the 3 line by Tatum to end the quarter up 13.
Hey Man, nice shot!

Love them just giving the ball to Tatum there, even though the shot didn't go down.

I want to see Tatum’s finishing and see if he changed anything. His jumper will start to fall not worried about that

Tatum seemed off balanced on that rhythm side step 3 that he was wide open for.

Weird. Guess he still have to work out the kinks.

Am I the only one who feels Hayward is misused on this team? When he is allowed to handle the ball and get a lot of touches everyone else plays so much better. The offense should be running through him.

Please don't bench Melo. He's great; a valuable part of the Blazers team.

He and Marcus are the best orchestrators of offense on the squad.

I think to try and get Tatum going. Kemba seems to have everything running so we need Tatum to be clicking on all cylinders.

We don't have an MVP to rest our laurels on so if Tatum is playing like this in 6 games time in the first round against the 76ers we'll be going out in the first round.

All about getting the team ready for the playoffs.

If Blazers decided this is a no-defense game, fine by us. I don't think we'll stop playing D with Smart around. I like that we jacked up 10+ threes already.

4 missed free throws. We should be up 17.
