    Blazers 36-6 all time at home against Nets. Only Spurs are better.

    It seemed to me that we played like we thought we had the win in the bag and could beat them by just scoring however much we needed to. We were extremely lazy on defense. I think we switched just about every screen all game and just sagged off and let them shoot.

    Nets crew says that the Blazers 36-6 home record vs the Nets is the 2nd best record in the league for home win % vs any team.

    1st is the spurs home record vs the nets at 40-4, 3rd is the Spurs home record vs the Clippers at 69-12

    You know if you beat Southwest Tallahassee Juco at Goat Milking, it still technically counts as a win.

    Maurice Harkless is the first Trail Blazer to score 18+ points on 7 FGA or fewer since Arron Afflalo (2/27/15 vs. OKC).

    Very postive in the game how we move the ball for uncontestant shots. Nurk had another strong showing and his present by setting those picks made are guards with really good looks. Aminu welcome back with your shooting. Harkless another strong showing. But really have to pick up the defense especially some of the bench players. But give Nets credit they did hit shots.

    Yes, they did. Tonight the Blazers shot .640 (16 - 25) from 3-point range. That makes 6 games in a row, every game Nurkic has played in, that the Blazers have shot at least .400 from 3-point range.

    Pre-Nurk: Team 3FG% = .359, longest streak of shooting at least .400 from 3-point range = 2
    Post-Nurk: Team 3FG% = .460, longest streak of shooting at least .400 from 3-point range = 6

    How long will this streak last?

    I believe Brooklyn is a decent offensive team. Their games always seem to have high scores.

    Nurk could have 0 points and 0 rebounds and still make an impact with how much space he creates for others either with his screens, or just his big ass body collapsing the defense.

    I hope next year they can continue this trend (obviously I'm not suggesting they'll shoot 46% from 3 next year, but that it will be improved).

    It's pretty amazing what an offensive threat can do for a team. Now if they could just get a decent PF...
