I can't properly describe the heart and effort I saw from the @trailblazers . Undermanned, banged up, tired... every time momentum should have knocked them out, they swung back. It's unfortunate this game will be most remembered for a missed call. Be proud of this team #ripcity

Just when I think @Dame_Lillard can't do anything more remarkable than he already has, 6 points in 9 seconds to win the game was just insane. Gary Trent Jr forcing/winning the jump ball to set up that GW was one of the most clutch things I've seen on a basketball floor. #ripcity

The Blazers are not the Seahawks. Russ didn’t want to be there. Dame wants to be in Portland. There doesn’t have to be a correlation between Russ getting shipped out and Dame’s future.

Idea: Pelicans trade Zion Williamson to Portland for Dame Lillard They’ve played fantastic without Zion, and he’s long-term injury risk. Dame + CJ have never played with a player near the caliber of Brandon Ingram (could be the missing piece) Blazers get 21 year old all star
