    Paul Allen looks about as interested in this game as he would be if he were installing a fence post.

    Got a lot on your mind, boss man? Fuck your Seahags.....just give Dame some better weapons!

    Dame already explained this. Nurk gets fouled and he thinks the refs are going to call it so he puts it up. He needs to actually wait for the whistle though.

    Good first half. James hits the buzzer beater but his cavs are still losing. Cavs are going to come out hard to start the second half. Blazers need stop the cavs transition and keep CJ shooting. Dame will find his. Need to get Nurkic going.

    I have complete faith in Ed Davis and Zach Collins to plug the gap

    We don't really need him. They have zero size so this is a game where we can go small and still outplay them. This is a game where we don't really need Nurk.

    Yeah. Against a crippled Cavs team. We should be up by 10 or more.

    Yeah against a Rookie, Maybe the 10 time this year he made 20+ points. But what about Today, just read the Comments on Blazers Pages in Social Media. A Lot of people are tired from nurkic. He is absolutely awful

    Dude rolled his ankle. He has 5 pts, 7 rebs, and some beautiful assist. Get your facts straight. So he got dunked on. Lebron does that to everyone. He had a couple bad fouls to be sure, but he's not playing badly. That's just plain wrong.

    He plays great against the best centers. He is not awful. 28-20-8-6 is his ceiling. He'll do that more often as he gets more experience.

    Nurk plays the same way no matter how many fouls he gets...I wouldn't be surprised to see him end the game with a double double..

    Some people seem to just have a mission to surf the board and look for any possible mistake to point out.

    I think people are frustrating with him because he has potential way bigger than 14ppg. He look sloppy and out of the game a lot of times. He's learning, but he better learn quick.
