    He isn't great - but he's also not as bad as BNM makes him out to be (unless he also thinks everyone else on the team outside of Nurkic is equally bad). But he sure does seem to have a knack for coming up with steals at big moments of games. Not something that can be measured in stats though, so it doesn't count.

    Harkless is officially untouchable. What a huge dick that guy has. Made harden his bitch in the clutch. 3 yuge blocks. Several yuge post moves. Grabbed houston by the pussy and made portland great again.

    The Blazers just beat the 3rd best team in the league. And Houston played a good game. Blazers were better.

    We're 15-5 since Nurk. That's 0.750. That's playing at a 61 win season pace. This team is a blast!!

    I love that harden got the ball stolen, and then his 3 blocked at the end. That was such a "fuck you" way to end the game.

    Stren, little advice. You liked my post. You shouldn't.

    That's disturbing.

    I agree. He is not great, but he is not bad either. Regardless of what the advanced stats say. He is average IMO

    Rockets may have a top 5 record this season, but they better watch out for an upcoming Blazer team next season. It's going to be a wild ride, baby!

    He really should just sit down and rest his wrist, but he takes pride in playing through injuries. This guy actually plays on sprain ankles that many players sit on.

    Absolutely! I was afraid Terry iced him when he sat him for 8 minutes after being so hot in the 4th. Luckily he came back strong in the 3rd and carried it to the end of the game.

    They didn't call much of anything in the 4th. Both teams got rough. Most of the fouls that were called were basically intentional.

    This was Crabbe's best game ever, great in offense and good in defense.

    Lillard and McCollum are rarely good in the same game. That may be causal or it may not; I don't know. Tonight one was great, so one was terrible.

    Nurkic gets his turnovers from dribbles, not from passes. He dribbles when it is not necessary, just to get his rhythm, and is easily picked off. He is slowly getting worse, learning Stotts' style, passing back out when he has a good shot inside.

    Nurkic has been really good for you guys. Like I said before the season, it was good you guys did not get or really chase after Howard. It's crazy Denver had Nurkic and Jokic and I feel like they didn't get much for Nurkic.
