Speak it louder for the people in the back Aaron! People laughed at me last year for saying that he's better than Holmes and that I wouldn't trade him for Turner. Oh well.....guess i'm right again. (the Holmes thing isn't really close anymore)
A trade has to happen here. One of OG/Siakam has to go.

I know you disagree with people a lot, but this feels like a real straw man. No one wanted to trade precious at any point last year.Mamba Mentality

Good to see the ball go in for the first play for Pascal. That helped with his momentum through out. Was really wondering how he of all guys would have responded after the Warriors game.
The start was fantastic. We were up by like 19 or 20 in the first. The ball was humming. The defense was great. Precious looked really good as a starter. Where as Portland couldn't make anything. Felt like the ball would go in and roll out. Didn't really like the way the first half ended. And then again in the 3rd the Raptors went on one of their cold streaks and Portland made it a game. Jerami Grant was really good in that quarter. Got to the line.. made a few key buckets.
I was expecting a let down, but we cranked it up in the 4th. Made some timely buckets.. and some great defense again to make it a blow out. Even got to see Ron Harper for a minute.
Precious was awesome. Scottie had a great line (18/10/7). Gary got us going in the first half. Fred's line wasn't the greatest.. but his impact on defense showed. He was tenacious. He got 4 steals and a block.. and it was a legit block lol.
Wish the bench gave us a little more. Chris had 10 points but was a -6. Jauncho was a team low -14 in 12 minutes. Flynn wasn't very helpful. But when you win by 18 on a second game of a back to back on a west coast trip, it's really hard to get too nit picky.
This team should have played like this earlier in the season. Now it just feels annoying. Like a big what if.

Skimmed parts of the game this morning. Typical Blazers loss: got bullied, too small without Nurkic, not athletic enough on the wings. Raps definitely exploited Hart and Nurkic being out and just feasted in the paint.
Tough to watch the bench though. So little depth. Gotta fix that.

Pretty great win. Really looking forward to when we can run a starting lineup with both OG and Precious in there as defenders. Golly.
Looking pretty good of late. Keep this level of play up for the whole trip and I'd bet only one of the guards gets moved and there's little effort to bottom out.
