  2. Just like Malcolm said, they needed this one.. let’s carry this energy the rest of the year into the playoffs ☘️

  6. Some of y’all talk about Joe like he’s a homeless guy Brad picked up off the street

  8. it’s the Trail Blazers but I’ll take any win at this point. let’s keep it going.

  10. Anytime we can get a win with Tatum playing 31 mins and JB playing 25, it’s a beautiful thing

  12. Not a ton of resistance from Portland but it’s good to stop the bleeding regardless. Great to begin a road trip on a good note

  13. A stem to stern beat down was just what the doctor ordered after the past 3 games. Weird Brogdon night but thankfully it didn’t matter. Good ball movement, quality shots, limited turnovers. I know Portland isn’t good but it’s nice to see the Cs not play with their food.

  16. Great for overall morale, still hard to watch when they Chuck 3s with 20 seconds left on the shotclock, but hopefully it was because they knew the Blazers aren’t a good team? Going to be hard to watch if they carry that habit into the playoffs. Much needed bounceback however

  18. this subreddit is confused, when its a win yall say “championship team” and when its a loss its “first round exit”

  19. Nice blowout win to stop the bleeding. Bascially everything looked solid tonight. Road trip time! Also the final home game until I see them lol

  21. Game ball to Derrick, Blake and Al.

    Sam, Marcus and Tatum runner-up. Nice to see defense again.

    Nice to get back into the win column.

  23. I dont like thst the crowd booed grant. We’re not the fucking sixers. We should have more class than that

  24. Bench mostly struggled tonight (mainly Brogdon because we were playing with a short bench until garbage time), but JT was basically a cheat code and White was able to do what we haven’t done in the last 3 games: slam that fucking door shut. Good W. Just gotta keep the energy up against our biggest weakness this season: a bunch of mediocre to bad teams over the next couple of weeks.

  27. Side note: I don’t know if there are many opposing players I respect more than Dame. The Blazers have been ass around him for years and yet he’s still stayed loyal to them. Most guys of his caliber would have left a couple years ago. Props to him for his loyalty to a pretty bad team even in his 30s

  29. the good news is we have defeated every team in the nba. the last time that happened? 2008. checkmate doomers

  30. wanna say almost letting them cut to 10 near the end, but nope, they need this W, good stuff – hope they can start building momentum

  31. Still hate all the early shot clock threes but this is the best win we’ve had in a while

  32. Hmm, maybe I’m the problem. They’ve been winning more when I can’t watch recently

  37. I liked JB sitting out majority of the game. Needed the rest after the crazy 100+ mins within a day stretch.

    Also JD a DAWG

  38. Actual quote from Joe tonight: “Just because you’re closer to the basket doesn’t mean it’s easier to score. We missed a ton of layups tonight.”

  39. I like grant. The very first celtics jersey I bought was his. He was amazing in last years playoffs. I really hope we can get the old grant back.
