    First off, best win of the season. Without TJones all-star effort, blowout arguably the best team in the league on national. Nice redemption from OKC. Very nice.

    btw- McHale's leaving Harden and Chandler in after POR subbed its starters was stat pad. Cool, but no one speak of their "injuries" from this point going forward. They're evidently 100.

    Add a healthy TJones, Asik and a trade for Dunleavy and we have something cooking

    I'm not saying he was amazing. He had a rough game. Expect better from an 8 million player, huh? Well how about Asik who had how many points, rebounds, minutes played? Lin contributed to this win, like it or not.

    Lin haters (and fans) are so unreasonably stupid at all times.

    Celebrate a team win.

    That comes mostly from the 1st quarter when the Blazers cut into the lead. It's not his fault in the 4th quarter he got Casspi, DMo, Brewer wide open looks from 3 that all of them missed.

    Harden was only a +5 while Casspi was +10 and Brewer was a +3. Does that mean Harden needed to play better tonight?

    Yeah, no way you can do a mini pump fake and layup in .9 seconds.

    does McHale drink liquor out of those cups during his post game conferences? His reaction after he sips..

    I would be great to trade for Eric Gordon and make him our 6th man. He is finally healthy and playing great. He would solidify our bench for sure.

    A very good post. I hope Jones will get healthy soon. His scoring may reduce the number of 3 point attempts without hurting the team. That's my hope.

    THat's because it was a blow out. About the last 4 minutes bev left....otherwise it would've been about 33 minutes for bev, 20 for lin.

    That and they took it easy on Bev in the first half. I think Lin actually had more floor time than Bev at half.

    Like others have said earlier, hoping that maybe the 2nd half meltdown against OKC was the season's turning point. Loving where we're at with a 28 - 15 record and the potential for this team to continue coming together. I thought last year was exciting!
