    A smaller thing I really like about Zeller is that he rarely forces anything on offense. His patience and ability to read the situation is refreshing.

    1. That's moving.

    2. Would it kill Nurk to take one extra dribble?

    That should be a no call...outside shoulder to outside shoulder contact is a weak charge.

    We’ve totally outplayed them and can’t hit open looks.

    Zubac forearm shanks Nurkic and there’s no foul? These refs have been terrible!

    This game to close for comfort both offense tonight hasn't been good. You can say the defense been good or just terrible shooting on both side I think little bit of both.

    I got to say, I can’t stand how Nurk thinks he’s a 7ft vase in the paint, but he should have at least 7 more free throw attempts tonight. At least.

    Lillard has been busy holding Morant and Reggie Jackson to shit games. I’d take these modest numbers over his hero ball ANY DAY

    Nurk is bringing it now. And with only three fouls.
