    Yeah, Moe was looking gassed.
    Guy put so much effort and did so much work the first two - three months of the season.
    Glad he's going to get a little extra rest before the stretch run & playoffs.

    No reason too if Davis is playing great and/or allows Aminu to guard someone like Towns since Davis is more adept at guarding perimeter 4s. It worked well last game so why would you be mad?

    So Minny lost last night and now the Blazers come up against another division rival. This game would be a really nice win.

    Hey--I'm gonna find my silver linings anywhere I can, even if I have to fabricate them out of nothing. It's hard work being a Blazer fan.

    Happy that Phoenix took OKC to the 48th minute last night! No huge rest for them before us!

    In the last 5 games, Ed has played more than Nurk one time.

    In the last 10 games, Ed has played more than Nurk two times.

    For the season, Nurk averages 26 MPG and Ed averages 19 MPG.

    For the month of February, Nurk averaged 26 MPG and Ed averaged 19 MPG.

    Yes, Ed is averaging more MPG than Nurk in March, but that's a 1 game sample size that was match up/situation driven.

    You seem to be upset by something that's not really happening. The minutes between Nurk and Ed continue to he divided at the same 26:19 ratio.

    There will be games where one, or the other, plays more minutes than their season average, but that will be dictated by the situation and match ups. We are lucky to have two centers who are both significantly above average, yet not completely redundant. Ed brings things to the game Nurk doesn't, but there are also things Nurk does better than Ed.

    You seem to be upset over a one game sample size where Ed played more minutes than Nurk - a game the team came back to win in the 4th quarter with Ed on the floor. Personally, I don't care who plays more in any given game, as long as we win.

    OKC hasn't beaten a .500 team since Feb 6. They've had an incredibly easy schedule recently. Their last 6 with wins have come against MEM (2x), SAC, ORL, DAL and PHO. During that same stretch, POR has beaten GSW, UTA and MIN.

    The Blazers are ahead of OKC in the standings and have been playing better than them recently. Let's hope the recent trend continues, the Blazers hold serve on their home court and get the win tonight.

    I'll be watching the game tonight at O'malleys before @Orion Bailey and his band play. If anyone wants to join me with some drinks, screaming at the tv I'd be obliged

    If we play as we did against the T Wolves, this will certainly be a loss. OKC has four solid options where Towns and Wiggins were our nemesis. We were lucky to have survived. This game is going to be much more intense.

    The way Dame's playing we could be down 20 going into the 4th and win by 10.

    I really hope we just carry a big lead all game because my heart can't take all the nail biters.
