    Nurkic created so many open shots and drives for the guards... he takes up so much space, and is so strong opponents can't get through his screens

    I thought we were gonna miss Plumlees passing.

    But I think we actually improved our passing ability with Nurk.

    Great job by Dame, the break looks like it really helped him recoup.

    Harkless greets his former teammates after the game. Napier did well because he was up against his former team.

    He takes some crazy risks, but I love it. Just gotta make sure we don't reign him in too much because his fun is contagious.

    Such an awesome feel for the game. Reminds me of Kristaps a bit

    Love the small lineup. Napier played very well. 6 boards and 6 dimes

    The Blazers know they aren't going to keep Connaughton past this season, they want to decide on Layman now

    Nice to see the coach admit that we don't have a power forward worth anything, so the 5th player down the stretch was our 3rd string PG. Worked out well with us outscoring them 35-18 in the 4th.

    Depressing day. First no trades, not even Ezeli's contract. Then we miss the easy loss. Bummer.

    We just need to figure out how to protect or insure Nurk's knees. He's much better than I expected so there must be a knee issue of some sort.
