    ...especially if Nurk is injured.

    I will say, fwiw, Grant has impressed me more, much more than I imagined. It was an excellent trade. Worth giving up CJ and Nance, though I will always like both, Nance especially.

    Nurk got his money.....and isn't giving effort. Not a huge surprise since he didn't give a lot of money on many nights before he got the money....until it was his contract year.

    Kinda weird but I think Eubanks moves his feet pretty well on the perimeter for a big man. Probably better than his paint defense…

    Grant + Hart are much much better for Portland than CJ + Nance

    "We gave a few souvenirs to the fans tonight."

    Billups on some of the terrible turnovers on a question from Highkin.

    Meanwhile on TNT, it’s Nets game again. ESPN, TNT and NBATV always shows Nets and Lakers game when they both sucks … smh

    I'm not going to pile-on Nurkic for tonight's game. He was bad, but it's pretty clear he wasn't over his injury

    Yes.....but that doesn't make the comments about his effort over his career incorrect.

    I don't know if Nurk is still injured or not, but I can see why some players like Kawhi will only play when they are completely healthy.....because fans will not give you any benefit of the doubt.

    Chuck said in their post game show they need to replace all Lakers games with the kings. He doesn't want to watch the Lakers either.

    You must've found a different feed, because if there's one word that describes Sean elliott to a T its "homerism".

    feel free to pile on the guy now, but also feel free to recognize that he has been the best defender on this team by nearly every meaningful defensive metric

    My comments were based on their play, which after they changed things up, started to play better. it had nothing to do with faith.
