    Great offensive game from Nurk tonight. Like seeing Biggie get this much run.

    Or jacking it up from the same distance while fading away from a double team with 14 seconds still on the shot clock?

    Can you imagine if Nurk wasn't on this team right now? It would be a blow out.

    They say, overcome the refs

    I say, why the fuck should we have to do so?

    Biggie is very limited by his lack of athleticism, but he's got the grit, attitude, and enough BBIQ. If he can learn to get a little more crafty with finishing around the rim like Zack Randolph he could be a very serviceable player.

    Basically would be last season when they were within 1/2 game of the #7 Lottery spot at one point.

    RipCityDSCPL Could be worse, at least it's not Lonzo.

    He'd have to be looking to pass first in order to see them. He doesn't.

    It's like boxing: knock the guy out, and don't leave it to the judges.

    Nurk just can't help reaching. Dude, they've called it every time whether you've stripped it clean or not.

    Seriously, blaming the refs tonight deflects the blame from where it really belongs: Terry Stotts -- shitty gameplan defensively, no adjustments, and just not having his team prepared to play.

    This is a big issue. Portland needs a real PG to play with CJ. Napier is too small

    Nurkic HAS to stop reaching down low. He picks up so many cheap fouls that way.
