No Shabazz and ET left early. But a poor showing against a pretty beat up team.

This is disappointing. Normally, they've been doing really well against beat-up teams.

Plus the 4th quarter fold; one of the flaws that had disappeared during the winning streak.Phalanx wrote:This is disappointing. Normally, they've been doing really well against beat-up teams.

Re: Portland Trail Blazers 2017-18 Thread
good win after letting the Boston game get away, and after having a big lead in the first quater lead get away from them fighting back to get a key road win against a division team that is right behind them in the battle for the third spot. Dame hadn't made any 3's all game then made the big one in the corner.

Re: Portland Trail Blazers 2017-18 Thread
HUGE WIN for the Blazers, 107-103 over the Pelicans, 41 for Lillard, 20 in the 4th quarter, his only free throws of the game sealed the win in the final seconds. The last two don't make up for the two that got away at Moda, but sure makes the 3rd position look a lot better. 46-28. Next game: Wednesday @ Memphis.

Awesome to go into OKC and NO and get tough wins. Now we have a nice four-game stretch against bad Memphis, meh Clippers, Memphis again, then sub-par Dallas. The 3-seed is looking really good for Portland.

Re: Portland Trail Blazers 2017-18 Thread
obviously we have the tiebreaker over OKC, but i also read the win tonight gave us the tiebreaker against New Orleans. so that’s neat.
tomorrow won’t be a picnic. dame won’t play due to the birth of son, and harkless is now out indefinitely with a knee scope.

Harkless out with arthroscopic knee surgery, return time unknown. What do the Blazers do now? I propose that Collins be put in his place. He works well with Nurkic, and keeps the rotation intact with Turner and Davis still coming off the bench.

EDIT: Well he started last night, just assuming he continues to start in his place.
