    That was a heartbreaking way to lose to the Clippers. Luckily, the Blazers have a game the very next day to redeem themselves.

    This may be a day late, and hopefully not a Dame DOLLA short, but let's BLAZE THE NUGS!

    Rotation should be interesting with dame and Nurk back. Actually no it won’t be because Stotts will run Kanter and Melo together again.

    This team without Murray should tell us a lot about where we're at. If we have Dame and Nurk and beat these guys then we can compete with the bottom rung playoff teams. If we can't beat these guys then we probably won't even make it out of the play-ins if we find ourselves in them.

    The truth is that I always want our team to win, so I'll be rooting for them. So, Go Blazers!

    I wanna see more of that Nas/RHJ pairing. Idk what the numbers were but they made a big impact last night. If Stotts just reverts back to his regular rotation when everyone is healthy tonight imma be heated

    That starting five comparison screams Blazers win - but at this point I expect nothing good.

    The Thuggets have been playing well without Murray, which surprises me. It will be a good test, but if we have Dame and Nurk we stand a good chance.

    What I do know is that every minute he's on the floor he's helping the Nuggets win.

    I don't think the Nuggets would trade their starting 3 for ours, their starting 4 for ours, and certainly not our starting 5 for ours. If Murray were healthy, they wouldn't trade their starting 2 for ours either.

    DJJ out due to injury. Or internal strife, who the hell knows at this point.
