    Nik played well off the bench
    Hark played well off the bench
    Collins play exceptionally well off the bench with 6 blocks!
    Leonard had 4 assists 4 rebounds in 8 minutes

    Blazers outsiders is dick cheese garbage. I’d rather go to ESPN and wait for the one sliver of Blazers highlights than this slope-headed derp bullshit

    Aminu is not the type of player who can shoot himself out of a bad shooting night like Dame and CJ can. So why he takes bigs shots late in games when he is ice cold is beyond me.

    collins is going to be an X factor against small ball lineups, like he was tonight. I’d also consider starting him next to Nurk, but that’s a fantasy.

    Was referring to what he walked out of the locker in after the game (or maybe what he walked in with and it was just a delayed cut). Holy crap on a rainbow!

    Oh and shoutout Evan Turner. That was the Celtics version. He’s really just an oversized point guard.

    Nik killed it tonight. Glad to see him enjoy himself and get it done. I hope he can be solid this year.

    Notes:
    • Game was backwards - starters with negative +/-, reserves +huge: lots of optimism from me.
    • Lakers went small, Collins played a lot of Center
    • great team win, everyone found a way to contribute, but Aminu was 1-10, 0-6 from 3 was tough to watch

    Stephen A. Smith talking about trading CJ or Dame on SportsCenter and trashing Portland as a city...

    I see him used like Terry used Crabbe that one year. He will finish a lot of games. Spreads the floor for Dame and CJ, quick release on his 3's and a great free throw shooter.

    Great game overall, Nurk still seems to be an issue though. I hope he has a quick leash this year, Collins played excellent D and ML actually made more good plays than bad. Nothing I hate more than seeing Nurk get fed 3-4 times in a row just to throw up some weak shit and then yell at a ref.

    Nurk shot 7/14. Save your whining for when it actually makes sense.
