Just textbook defense by Vonleh on Lillard to set up the Teague block. Stayed square and moved his feet on that drive.

The Blazers might want to blow this thing up soon. They are not good -- heavy emphasis on NOT.

Yeah on paper they should be killing us. Is Whiteside really that bad?

I don't think they are going to do it. They are a different team with Nurkic and Hood. They could get a lotto pick also. I would be shocked if they blew it up

They won 53 games last year, so yeah, a solid core is in place. Their starting lineup is still really good (not so much tonight), but their bench is horrible. Tolliver needs to retire.

These big dunks from Culver remind me when Wiggins used to dunk.

- Hell of a defensive effort again tonight. 'Melo, McCollum, Lillard. Those three guys can put the ball in the hoop and we contained them. Fantastic to see this resurgence over the past three weeks on that side of the ball.

- Dieng did soooooo many great things in the short 17 minutes that he played. If KAT ever gets over his scraped knee, I don't know how Saunders in his right mind doesn't start those two together and move RoCo to the 3. It just makes so much sense.

- Reid came back down to earth.

- Good to see Okogie perk up.

- Wiggins with a very smooth game scoring and passing the ball...too many mid-range and long 2s though. Not a good habit to get back into.

- KAT appeared to be having fun on the bench. He's hurt, right? Or is it the flu? Personal reasons? Has Jake Layman found his missing toe yet? May be KAT is helping him find his missing toe?

Yeah, I miss those. It was the one thing I really liked about him back in his first couple of years.

Culver has sneaky athleticism, but he will hit people right between the eyes when the opportunity is there.

Im betting that that dunk on Noel really shook him, especially since they knew each other since high school. I dont think wiggs has gone in hard on a dunk attempt since them.

If Kat ever comes back im very curious what the rotation will be like. Do you start dieng at the 4 but take out Culver who is starting to find his groove.

What big is no longer in the rotation Vonleh or Naz.
