    Yeah he doesn't always have big games vs Jokic but he has had good games and they need one from him tonight.

    I'd say this is the biggest test of the season so far. I think we have a real shot to win this as well. Ant is due for a big game and I think Sharpe also is due for a big game. Hart and Grant will continue to be solid and Dame seems hella angry. I like our chances!

    This will also be a big test for the length of our forwards. Denver has one of the bigger frontcourts the Blazers would face in the west if they make the playoffs.

    The core is your abdomen and back muscles. Similar to Dames injury.

    very true because Jokic would likely stomp Eubanks if Nurk gets in foul trouble.

    wasn't it pretty much the same as the Dame and Little ab area surgery?

    The Portland Trail Blazers should ask for a volume discount on core muscle surgeries.

    Damian Lillard got one last season and now says he is pain-free for the first time in years and expects a return to his MVP-ballot self. Nassir Little followed suit and had core muscle surgery in May. Now it is just-signed Gary Payton II who just had the same surgery, the Trail Blazers announced on Friday.

    Gary Payton II underwent an off-season procedure in July to address a core muscle injury.

    He is expected to make a full recovery by the start of the regular season.https://t.co/W3Kg8ksEFQ

    The good news for Payton and the Trail Blazers is this is an injury expected to heal fairly quickly and Payton should not miss much, if any, of the season.

    Still not sure about Eubanks. He looks to struggle on D down low against a bigger center. But he also has looked pretty effective on D at times when the opposing center is away from the basket. Yesterday he was a +11 in the first quarter. They played well with him on the floor.

    But I agree since Jokic is good at everything it could get ugly. I do like his ability to tip offensive rebounds out with a lot of traffic around.

    Eubanks is faster though? Not so sure?
    Drew has played some good minutes so far.

    I don't know. Eubanks has been playing well...better at points than Nurk.

    Except he already has missed 3 games of the season? Or maybe that's part of the quote. I bet that's what it is, and so much for that!

    I would be very curious to see what Winslow defending Jokic would look like. Probably a :shitstorm:but maybe not...?
