    Nurk literally drove 25 mins to be there. What a boss.

    BTW, CJ said on his last podcast that he's hung out with Nurk at his place a bit recently watching TV shows (Bosnian and Netflix apparently). Explicitly said they're trying to keep him engaged and in the loop to keep his spirits high. Swear I've read somewhere that Moe has done the same.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Damian Lillard Hit A Series-Ending Game-Winner For The Ages

    “That’s a bad shot, I don’t care what anybody says. That’s a bad shot,” a defiant George told reporters after Oklahoma City fell, 118-115, putting an end to the five-game gentleman’s sweep.


    But in a way, that’s what made it such a spectacular one. Lillard wanted to take that shot. He had more than 10 seconds to make something else happen — to drive to the hoop for a closer look, or to potentially call a teammate over for a screen to get more space — and chose not to. Instead, he opted to let the clock run down to the final two seconds, took a side-step to his right and let it fly from 37. Ballgame.


    And despite George’s proclamation, that Lillard’s game-winner was a “bad shot” that went down anyway, consider this: Lillard had been doing stuff like this all series long. In fact, the buzzer-beater made Lillard an unthinkable 9-of-15 for the series from 30 feet and beyond, according to Second Spectrum. It’s part of the reason Lillard has been the most valuable player this postseason thus far.

    Yeah, it's really amazing what d-bags those guys are. Don't shake hands after a playoff series, then pout during your press conference and call it a bad shot. They're like children. I'm not sure if it's funny or sad, but I'm going with funny.

    I can't tell if Paul George was always a bitch, or if Russ just rubbed off on him.

    Lamar is damn good.

    Calabro is meh but he is great for big plays.

    Why did we get the crappy TNT crew and not Kevin Harlan?

    The sun is shining this morning in Portland, both literally and figuratively. The only cloud in sight is the cloud 9 I'm still on.

    Is there any player in the NBA who is happier with being traded at the deadline this year then Skal? Going from the bench in Sac to this. Seems like he is enjoying himself.

    I think the opposite. Calabro is objectively great at his job. Lamar tries too hard to be hip.

    Still miss mike and mike.
