    Just curious does Nurk have small hands for a nba player? Just seems like sometimes he struggles to hang onto the ball.

    The lack of talent on this team is crazy

    Tonight it was Nurk/Norm and the ABA Portland Reign.

    getting nothing from Roco or Nance on offense is hurting us big time

    Nurk was great...Norm and Nurk stepped up and filled up the boxscore ...those guys gave us a shot to win tonight

    Better effort tonight but just didn't have the horses to close.

    Nurkic with 31 points on 12-19 shooting but didn't get a shot in the last 4 minutes of the game. Powel went CJ the last 4 minutes.

    I think the team played more like how Chauncey envisions them playing...which isn't too bad if they were healthy had actually had everyone 100% committed to that style of play.
    Liked the effort and energy that Norm and Nurk brought, even with Nurks typical Nurk plays.

    But wow, does the talent drop off like a cliff after those two. cjE was a walking wtf, and so little contributions (offensively) from RoCo and Nance (tho I would rather start Nance over RoCo).

    All in all, the Clippers should've walked away from this game, even missing KL. Paul George looked borderline washed up for most of the game.

    If I'm a Clippers fan, I'd be a little peeved at their effort level tonight. As a Blazer fan, I'm less peeved about this kind of loss (like I said, the drop off of talent is huge after N2).

    I may be putting too much into this, but which player didn’t play tonight that played the previous game…

    The player who will be a 76er in the coming weeks. And who will excel there IMO. A player who is in need of a new start .

    Disagree on PG13 take. He was doubled plenty. And it worked to get the ball out of his hands. But like Dame, he was special down the stretch, and hit all the key shots.

    In fairness the team was missing it’s starting backcourt along with their 6th and 7th man.

    GS, the darlings of the league, just finished 15-50 and 39-33 with a depleted roster

    On a positive note, our defense looked better without sieve-J
