    Someone needs to teach Nurk what a jump stop is.

    I am able to resist blocking people in general. Now if he was revving his engine outside of my house I would have an issue.

    Dame is amazing. Paul George is really hurting them.

    PG has to be exhausted. Being asked to carry the offense. If he was likeable I might feel bad for him.

    Portland came out with no energy or focus. If you try to play an aggressive scheme but aren't focused on the nuances of running it or engaged enough, then it's possible to pick apart. Granted, our defense actually wasn't that bad, it was mostly us deciding to throw it straight to Clippers players for no reason like 20 separate times.

    It wasn't the Blazers. It was the body snatchers.

    George is such a baller! He’s led his team to 46 points half way through the 3rd
