A very good half...up 12 on the Blazers. That's exactly what we need to be doing against an average team missing their best player.

Everyone playing well, I think. Second unit was terrific behind Bazz and Dunn...play 'em more, Thibs!

We could have been up by 20 if it wasn't for the sloppy start, but the bench really did get things going.

I wonder why they don't try trapping McCollum on those high pick and rolls. Rubio can't get over the screen (and I thought Plumlee was throwing his hip out illegally on a couple of those by the way) and Dieng can only close so much before leaving the roller wide open for a layup. Either that or give Dunn some more run against him!

Up 12 at the half, which not coincidentally is how many more points the Wolves bench scored vs. the Blazers bench.

Whats with all the miss fts tonight! Even zach is missing both

Only shooting 50% on free throws, this has the smell of a disappointing loss.

Even though the Blazers' bench played one more minute than ours (the closest we've been all season to parity, I think)...let 'em play, Thibs!

Such a contrast between Ricky's 1st quarter and 3rd.

we are getting shut down by one of the worst defenses in modern history

Embarrassing. I'm not looking forward to LST doing research and and coming up with all the games missed by opponents after this lose. And then blaming Tibs

Just a dreadful quarter...would have loved to have been a fly on the wall in the locker room at halftime.

This is a bad Blazers team...we need to come back in this one. Unfortunately the crowd sounds dead to me tonight. We could use a little home court advantage.
