    With Nurkic, we can beat them.

    Gotta give credit to GS for adjusting their defense in the second half, doubling and tripling Dame and CJ, and daring anyone else to do something. Role players just couldn't knock down shots, good defensive effort wasn't enough.

    That said, there are some positives to take from this; Blazers can play defense, just need role players to step up, and could possibly still get Nurk back in time to do some damage.

    Crabbe was non-existant.

    Killed us.

    I'm not a huge fan of ET's attitude the last few trips. He's frustrated, I know, but he's been acting out and looked hero-ballish.

    Their D has been solid, we've also had guys like Crabbe and Moe missing open looks.

    Tied after 3? Survived a couple warrior runs? Can't complain.

    About the Blazers playing defense: Three 30+ points in three quarters for the Dubs . . . The only thing the Blazers had going on was the Blazers keeping up on offense.

    Blazers eternal problem: Only two guys on this team can actually score. The rest is paid to watch CJ and Dame play.
    Frustrating. Mo $40mil. E'T: $70 mil?, Crabbe: $80mil? Leonard: $40 mil?
    Is that $230 millions for less than 23 points in a playoff game?
    $10 mil per point from these joksters ... Trade them all please... (If we can find a taker),

    I had my first one 3 or so years ago. Passed it.....I think? Symptoms went away for 2 years, then came back in late October 2016. Off and on since.

    I'll give you that, he hustled and played great defense. He just needed to hit more of those good shots he got off.

    Stotts needlessly bumbled this game away by changing the bench lineup in the 2nd half.

    It was embarrassing.

    The only real chance is to get Nurk back next Saturday, hold serve at home, and hope the pressure gets to the super team in game 7.

    Great effort by the guys. We have a chance over 7 games. Give us Nurkic instead of Butters, and have our bench hit SOME of their shots..... We win.
