What a satisfying win. I like that everyone chipped in. Team effort on both sides of the ball.

I’d like to see Batum start and Morris come off the bench.

Hartenstein is fun to watch. He makes things happen. Has that knack for being in the right place.

yah but I dont think were gonna win pretty anytime until Kawhi comes back

it's gonna be grit and D and TEAMWORK


Reggie: an ugly 6-20 and 3-13 from distance plus+28 [team high]
PG: 6-16, 16 points, zero rebounds plus+21, 8 STEALS [career high]


Hartenstein, Mann and Kennard were 17-20 FGs, about plus+20 in about 20 minutes
now THAT could replace the Lou & Trezz Show :)



I think Winslow should have a more consistent role with the bench guys. I know his shot overall is suspect but damn does he play some tough defense.

Mook would be a nice spot up guy for the bench. They would lose a step on d not having Batum as consistently but Mook would be a more willing shooter.

Reggie has been benefiting in +\- being the main guy to play with the bench.

I agree. I like the 2nd unit consists of T-Mann, Kennard, Winslow, Sr/Batum, Hartenstein. Winslow's jumpshot is painful to watch, but he brings alot to the table especially on D.

That was one of the worst games I've ever seen a professional basketball team play. It almost looked like the Blazers were trying to lose. I wonder if Lillard wants out but just doesn't want to say it publicly- he seemed to have no passion or energy yesterday

The Clippers played decently and I was impressed by the performances of Hartenstein and Kennard, but the team could have played considerably better- particularly Jackson and PG13.

Much needed victory though.

Winslow has this big thing going for him. Since he defends multiple positions well and passes relatively well, he can be slotted into multiple lineups--and that means you can sort of go with whoever the hot hand is on the bench. He's a glue guy. His individual numbers aren't as significant as the greater impact you get from being able to slot different players in alongside him.

That being said--said it earlier. Luke and TMann have to get us 20 a game.

25-30 combined is realistic. Lou and Trezz got us ~35 at their peak.
