    You might have the best center period.

    Some bad moments but when the dust cleared, Blazers took three of four on their last long road trip. I can live with a 75 percent winning percentage

    Sounds kinda like Nurk. Only Nurk’s better.

    Happy Days are here again! Honestly, if Blazers get 3 seed or better, I would put Dame over Harden on my MVP ballot.

    I have to admit that picking up Kanter and Hood was crucial!

    Not sure what game you watched. Turner played very well tonight.
    Not the norm at all but he played a really good game tonight?

    This is how they must play from now on. Next Man Up. Tonight, in addition to making up for Nurk and CJ, they had to pick up Dame, and they did.

    "Well" might actually be an understatement. The guy was 100% from the field while getting a triple double in 25 minutes off the bench. (With only 1 turnover) How many times has that happened?

    Wow ... congrats to RIP City tonight. They stepped it up. Dame was average, but the rest of the team was amazing.
    Nurk out. CJ out. And we score 132 points?
    Enes Kanter has been ... out of his mind. What a pick up ... Neil O'shay .. exec of the year.
    Rodney Hood. 20 points.
    Seth Curry. 19 points.
    Jake got 11 points in 14 minutes?
    ML was 4-4 ? in 12 minutes?

    Does anyone remember those days, when we had no bench?

    Honestly, that player is Nurkic

    Except Nurkic is a better passer than them combined

    I feel so bad we might lose a year in his development. How good would he have been in a couple of year, when he hits his prime?
    I'm so sick this happened to him. I'm still sick today about it and will be until he comes back fully healthy.

    Give credit to Timberwolves. Nothing to play for but pride. Not tanking for ping pong balls. While a 30 point win would have been easier I respect that they won't roll over for anyone.
