Never doubted PP and Nesmith. Not once.

The celebrations on Pritchard's last 2 makes have been glorious.

LOL at the crowd being on Pritchard's side.

Damn, really happy for Pritchard right now. That was one of the most fun garbage times I've watched :lol:

We were a free throw make away from a rare 50-50-90 game.

3 mins left in a 20 point game. LOve the fact that nesmith hustled like that to save the ball from going out of bounds. the dude is a hustler. then on the other end he makes another nice pass.

That entire Pritchard sequence was so fun. Nice to see the bench and crowd get involved.

The bench reaction was the heartwarming moment of the season for me.

That felt mad disrespectful lol. Fun nonetheless

Blazers fans and the team probably thinks the Celtics are mocking them while they are down but this was just a much needed moment for PP who has struggled all year and was out of the rotation. It wasn’t about the scoreboard just showing support to a guy finally stepping up in his hometown of all places

Pritchard's been going through a major sophomore slump. Hopefully this game can be a confidence booster going forward

Don't let PP get switched back on now. That's all we need!

I want to say Enes for the VC. Great +/-, generally played well when Rob was uncharacteristically ineffective, and did so against his former team. Besides, I'd like an excuse in honor of his recent citizenship and activism.

Schroeder deserves it more, of course. Besides all the scoring, he was also 8/1 on A/TO.

not just their reaction to the Pritchard shots, but was also cool the bench's reaction when nesmith exploded to the rim for the dunk attempt and got fouled.

you can really see the camaradie of this team. the other guys on the team know that both of these guys (pritchard, nesmith) have some serious talent but they're young and have struggled to find their groove this season - but they're a team, these guys see each other more than they see their own family so they are rooting for each other.

That sequence lessened my dislike of Juancho just a tiny bit.

i think the blazers players and fans all (or at least most of them) know that pritchard is a hometown guy from portland so that's why we kept giving him the ball and he kept shooting from 3.

it was fun!

if anything, that is probably the most fun a crowd can possibly have when their home team is down 28 with 1:00 left....getting to see the hometown guy hit some shots.
