    Totally different game in the second half. They (with the help of the refs) turned everything around.

    We can quite deservedly feel aggrieved about our poor second half showing; but we can take heart that we gritted it out, and didn't give in.

    Nice win tonight but there was alot of one on one ball. We had only 14 assist and got 50 points in the paint. I like Nurk get his hands up more where he is bigger in the middle on D. But he did get a double double that good. Vonleh is starting to play good but needs make the chip shot underneath. Good job Blazers.

    I agree with others that we should be running plays through Nurkic more. However in relation to this game, that's hard to do when he's sitting with foul trouble. What it has clearly highlighted though, is the need to make better use of him while he's out there. We can always resort to Dame/CJ iso's when Nurkic is in foul trouble/resting; but we need to take advantage of his size, and skills when we can.

    Cleveland loses again tonight. 4-6 in the last 10.

    That pick is sitting at #27.

    Clevelands operation secret tank for portland is underway. I think they owe us a couple.

    Really interesting interview on suns post game, they interviewed Nurk and basically asked him about it being a guard orientated league and what he thinks about it in Portland on offense and defense.

    I'll try to find a video of it, Nurk basically said it's a tough job playing backup defense for dame and Cj

    Would love to see that.

    He looked a little put off at the end. Literally doing all the work, while _ame and CJ jack up every shot.

    Could have been tired though?

    I think he has to be tired. Goes from being out of shape when we got him, avg 17.8m a game to suddenly playing 30. Not saying he isn't put off by Dame and CJ jacking up tons of shots, only that he is most definitely dead tired at the end of games from the look of it.

    Yes. I'd love to see it. See if there's a consensus observation of what he says.


    No wait, this is S2. I can dream.

    What I seen that him and Dame doing some stupid hand shake and they both laughing. Properly want to see a video of it to see where he can help CJ and Dame out more.
