    Dame with a really good post game interview, saying he needs to get Nurk involved, and they need balance on offense. Hope he actually follows through with that.

    Not having Aminu will destroy our defense. His impact is understated

    Noah and Nurk being in foul trouble didn't help matters. And then we play soft, lazy defense as a team anyway.

    By more than one measure, he's been by far our best player so far this season... I'm happy as hell we beat ANY team without him.

    Aminu is really versatile and has good hands and is deceptively strong. He wears a lot of hats in our defensive attack. No coincidence that our D went in the tank in his absence last yr.

    5th best DRtg in the league, 6th best Opponent PPG in the league. Very soft, very lazy.

    Almost like we're playing without our best defender.

    It just warms my heart knowing a bunch of chickenshit Laker fans descended upon our arena tonight hoping to see Lonzo Ball light us up and they didn't even get to see him make a single basket.

    I feel like brook always goes off against Portland because he's jealous we traded for his brother and not him, and he's bitter because Portland is tailor made for a dork like him. I mean the guy was making some TOUGH shots and looked like Reggie miller on his jumpers.

    Caleb Swanigan scored five points with four rebounds and two steals in 14 minutes against the Lakers on Thursday.

    He was really good, especially with some of the star players. Before tonight, Swanigan played just four minutes next to Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum, but that three-man combo was out there for five minutes in this game -- it's up to a +32.6 net rating in a nine-minute sample on the year.
