Last night’s game between the Blazers and Magic went about how you would have expected it to go, with Portland winning 128-114 and Damian Lillard going off for 41 points.

Damian Lillard Is Scooping The NBA's Scoopsters
C.J. McCollum is not the only member of the Trail Blazers’ backcourt who’s also a practicing journalist. Damian Lillard has spent the week outscooping the basketball press.

Jrue Holiday And Anthony Davis Overwhelmed The Trail Blazers
Saturday’s slate of NBA playoff games—Game 1s? Games 1?—mostly went as expected: the Warriors made lunchmeat out of the Spurs; the Raptors almost Raptored against the Wizards, but pulled away in the fourth quarter; the Sixers just ran away from the Heat in the second half. Home teams went 3-0 throug...
Damian Lillard Looks Unstoppable, And The West Is Fun As Hell
On February 11, the Trail Blazers got blown out at home by the Jazz, their fourth loss in six games, kicking off some mild panic in Portland about the team’s ability to hold onto a playoff spot in a stacked Western Conference. Three days later, the Rose Garden hosted a Valentine’s Day date between t...
Damian Lillard Rescued His Blazers From The Lowly Suns, And Also The Suns From The Blazers
It is not an exaggeration to say that Damian Lillard’s heroics in the fourth quarter of Saturday night’s Blazers-Suns tilt rescued both teams: the Blazers are smack in the middle of the West’s dense playoff pack; meanwhile the Suns, had they won, would’ve gone from having the worst win percentage in...
Cruel Damian Lillard Needed Just 29 Minutes To Hang 50 Points On The Kings
Damian Lillard went absolutely nuts on the Kings Friday night, in Sacramento, to the tune of 50 points on 26 shots attempts, in just 29 minutes. He didn’t score a single point in the fourth quarter, and didn’t need to, because the Kings are sad and awful, and also because the game was never close af...
Damian Lillard Shut Down Some Timberwolves Fans
Blazers point guard Damian Lillard was not happy after last night’s 108-107 loss to the Timberwolves, which he largely blamed on poor refereeing during a postgame rant. That frustration stayed with him long enough to cause a brief confrontation with some fans outside the arena....

Damian Lillard Went Off Last Night

Terry Stotts Wishes George Karl Would Just Stop Talking
God bless George Karl, whose incendiary book and accelerant-spraying press tour have given the NBA community something to unite against this holiday season, and given us blogs some sweet, sweet content during these dark days on the sports calendar. As if blaming Carmelo Anthony and Kenyon Martin for...
The Blazers Are Going Through Some Growing Pains
The Portland Trail Blazers were the unquestioned surprise of the 2015-16 NBA season. Prognosticators had them missing the playoffs in the wake of LaMarcus Aldridge ditching Cascadia for Texas, and ESPN’s season preview said they were “rebuilding.” Terry Stotts had a roster full of untested and misun...
The Blazers Were A Miracle
The Portland Trail Blazers looked dead about three different times in the fourth quarter of their Game 5 loss to the Golden State Warriors. There was the time when the Warriors’ starters came back in with a four point lead and quickly stretched it to eight. After C.J. McCollum shot them back into it...
Damian Lillard Tried His Darndest To Take The Warriors Down Single-Handedly
For two quarters last night, the Trail Blazers dominated. They led by 13 after the first quarter, pushed that lead to 17, and led by eight at the break. The Warriors offense was stagnant, their defense discombobulated and a beat late, and the entire Blazers team took advantage....
The Portland Trail Blazers Are The Feel Good Team Of The Season
The Portland Trail Blazers are forever confounding expectations. In 2013-14, they were supposed to build upon their 33 wins from the previous season, and if things broke right, challenge for the playoffs. Instead, Damian Lillard leapt to stardom and Robin Lopez was a revelation, and the Blazers won ...
Damian Lillard Has The Best Response To Kendrick Perkins Trying To Decapitate Him
While the crazy-as-hell first round of the NCAA Tournament was finishing up, there were a bunch of NBA games on last night. I know! I’m surprised too! In one of them, the Blazers played the sad sack Pelicans, and in the fourth quarter, Kendrick Perkins tried to pop Damian Lillard’s head off....
Just Get Out Of Damian Lillard's Way
Anthony Davis’s 59-point, 20-rebound destruction of the Pistons may have been the best single-game performance of the NBA season, but I say the weekend belonged to Damian Lillard....
The Warriors Were No Match For Damian Lillard
Damian Lillard and the Portland Trailblazers put a royal whooping on the Golden State Warriors last night up in Portland. Yes, the Warriors were uncharacteristically sloppy and bad. Sure, they fumbled away 13 turnovers in the third quarter alone, the most in any quarter in any game since 2008. Their...
Damian Lillard Went Nuclear On The Thunder
The Portland Trail Blazers were losing to the Oklahoma City Thunder by a score of 103-95 with just over three minutes left to play last night. The Blazers won the game 115-110, because Damian Lillard lost his mind....
Steph Curry Is At It Again
Portland actually filed their paperwork correctly and had C.J. McCollum around for last night’s game against the Warriors, but, yeah, no, Golden State rolled easily. That’s thoroughly unsurprising, but this cool little alley-oop from Steph Curry to Andrew Bogut kind of was....
