    Jusuf Nurkic has tallied the 5th 20-point game of his career. 3 of the 5 have come in 19 games with Portland.

    Common NBA basketball.
    Last shot of the quarter, to take a lead to halftime.
    Every team will do that, every time.

    To be fair, Mike and Mike were like home town. Like watching the game with you. These guys are like network pukes.

    Nah, the percentages are that Dame in an isolation against a big who's sagging off him are a good shot. Remember, with a PPS on a P&R around 1.09 to be the best in the NBA, he only has to shoot 36% in those situations for it to be a good shot. 6' of separation off of a big? I'll take it.

    9 points from the bench isn't going to win you many games. But when Denver has Barton who can score in his sleep...

    How are the Nuggest feeling about the Nurkic/Plumlee trade about now?

    Interesting fact....if Nurk stayed at 9-11 from the floor tonight, it makes up for his 4-15 against the Lakers. He'd be shooting 13-26 in his last 2 games.

    I hope once (if) the game ever become and obvious W for the team, that the crowd has the chance to cheer "Jus-sef Nurkic clap clap clapclapclap":

    They did run a pick and roll with Nurk it's why Jokic was switched onto Lillard.
    Portland made a common basketball play that every team would take 10 out of 10 times to end a quarter
    You might not like the shot fine, but that is not hero ball... It's also a high % shot.
