    The difference between Stotts and Billups is Stotts would’ve pulled the plug on playing thru Nurk after a couple turnovers. Billups is sticking with him, even with CJ back, and it’s paying off. Aiight I’m done.

    The pro-Ime Udoka crowd from this offseason is very quiet

    I was thinking that too during the doldrums of tonight's game. Who brings energy consistently for the Blazers? Elleby is near the top of that list.

    Yahoo Sports has been doing a free LP preview the past week or so. Just go to their box scores online and it starts the stream.

    i usually watch on my mac otherwise. VPN to India, then log onto LP on either Chrome or Safari. Works fine but not as simple

    Yes, you are correct. It is an absolutely idiotic thread to be bashing CJ. A lot of players contributed to this win tonight and he was certainly one of them.

    CJs chucking was somewhat tolerable when we had no alternatives. There is no reason for him to throw up 19 shots when Ant and Nurk have been so successful. He let it go a bit in the fourth at least

    I have to admit that I was wrong, Billups did go away from CJ in the fourth. He played through Nurkic and Simons which was not only good for them, and the team, it was also good for CJ because it got him easier looks. Great coaching!

    Portland is now 6-4 in January. They’ve had only one sub .500 month so far.

    A confident Nurk playing with swagger striles fear in the hearts of opponents. He HAS to have his head in the game; his body language tells a lot. His first half was so so but he really turned it around in the second half and he owned the 4th.

    He scared the bejesus out of Tatum when he forced him to take that terrible last 3 pt attempt. Terrible shot selection when alls you need is 2.

    “It is fun when you share the ball and play together.”
    -Jusuf Nurkic

    I’ve said this before, but it is hard to give all your effort when 2 guys are chucking shots all game and the same 2 guys aren’t playing any defense. It gets old fast. It started to show at the end of the Stotts era and carried over to the beginning of the Billups era.

    yup. Even tonight we saw a lot of possessions where only CJ touched the ball, until billups adjusted and ditched it. That would’ve never happened under Stotts.
