Now let's hope this long road trip gets them rolling again.

Tatum 11/17. Personally, I am upset about those 6 misses.

[Silas]

Blake with a solid 18 min.  Funny no points but +15.  Filled the stat sheet....6reb,3assist,2steals, and 0 turnovers. 

[Goldstar88]

How about JD with 2pts, 2ast, 3rebs and 1stl in only 3 minutes of play! 

[Silas]

One down and 15+ to go!

I believe Boston has beaten every team in the NBA this season but the Jazz (have not played them yet).

yes, I thought he played well.  did the little things.  why not play him a little bit more often?  if he got 10 min a game, is that bad?  at least until timelord is back.

Good win.  Good to see a relatively consistent defensive effort throughout.

Brogdon had a bizarre night.  Took the right shots time after time and bricked almost all of them.  Layups, open threes, even free throws.  He could easily have 20+ with the same shot profile on a different night. 

Also thought Blake played great despite not scoring.

I hope the Blazers find a way to compete before Lillard retires.  They were just terrible tonight.  No real teamwork on offense.

The Blazers without Lillard are probably the worst team in the league lol or right there with the Hornets

What a difference in effort tonight. Glad to see JT back and looking fresh, some of the others still looked a little gassed but hopefully the rest in the 4th will help. Also like seeing Hauser get some run.

I do have to complain about the officiating tho. What an embarrassment of a game, that was amateur hour. They didnt know what was or wasnt a foul and they couldnt decide whether it was continuation or not. At one point they called a foul on Hauser and he was literally standing alone 15ft away from the play. 2 minutes later they mustve got the call from Secaucus because they announced the foul was changed. It really got comical towards the end. I really hope we dont see that crew in the playoffs or again period if im being honest.

They are a different team with Simons and a healthy Nurkic. Not championship contenders by any stretch but much better than they looked tonight. Simons is a scoring threat when Dame sits.

And ESPN.com had an article today where three WNBA players were supposedly on the oath to bring the Blazers back to glory as scouts/strategists.

My gawd Joe really just questioned about missing layups vs needing to taking more 3s.

He should just bring Westbrook into this team and build a great wall of china with all the bricks he and the team makes.

Which bricks are you referring to? The ones that we are making while being ranked #7 in 3FG% in the league?

I get it, we hate it when they chuck 3s...but they're hardly building bricks with them over the course of the season. They've tailed off their Oct-Nov when they were shooting 41% but they're one of the better 3FG teams over the course of the season.
