The Lakers postgame show took notice of the Blazers:
“Listen, they are a young athletic team, very good defensively. … They have a young star in Deni Avdija. … This is a team that’s not going to be at the bottom of the Western Conference standings anymore.”

James Harden also took note of the Blazers’ style of play, and had some good things to say.
“They play extremely hard for the entire game, they pick you up full court. … They just try to disrupt the game, they’re very, very aggressive. … That’s a good team over there.”

Steve Kerr went on a minute-long praise for the Blazers on a question about fatigue for his team.
"Tonight was not about that. It was about Portland and what they've built. ... This city is going to really enjoy watching the Blazers because they play hard and they got a real identity."

Loved this defensive stand by the Blazers last night.
They disrupted the flow of the Warriors. Jrue bodying up Steph, Deni with a hard deflection, then Kris knocked the pass out of bounds.
They may not have gotten a steal here, but it wears teams out when they can’t get any passes off cleanly.

Bill Simmons and Rob Mahoney “kinda like Portland!” (or at least better than the Kings)
