    He gets credit when he gives credit for the beard. Brian Wilson had the beard first in this generation of athletes. And he ain't the first at all.

    Also, let me clear. I'm not making excuses for the Rockets tonight. Blazers shot lights out, were over 50% from 3 most of the game, and Rockets struggle against teams with good centers (Unless they are the Clippers...lol) so it makes sense that Nurkic would be the difference from now and when we won the previous 2 games. In theory Rockets should struggle with the Thunder but Westbrook doesn't really utilize his bigs the way a pass friendly PG actually does.

    LOL. Rocket fans are the true soccer moms.

    Again.

    So fucking what? EVERYONE is hurt this time of year.

    You didn't see our fans on other teams' forums making excuses for Dame earlier this season.

    Hahahah what calls did they not get? Refs let Nurk away with an obvious foul but that was only because they called a phantom one a few minutes earlier.

    Btw you like how I remember that? You know why? Because that's the only call we got.

    I'm impressed that we beat a quality team like Houston when CJ had such a crap game. The Nurkic effect is strong!

    Lillard knows what's up when he says Nurk "has it". That killer instinct. That spin move on Nene was NICE!

    It took the Blazers 4 games to integrate Nurk, but after that point we're 13-3 (0.813).

    That's a nice upward trajectory.

    Realize I was responding to a post that mentioned Harden bricking 3s.

    Yeah, he's going to brick a lot more 3s when the wrist on his shooting hand is sprained. I honestly don't have to make excuses for this team, they've played through injuries all season and are still a top 5 team in the league, but be real here for a second. His shot is going to suffer with a sprained wrist on his shooting hand, obviously.
