    Hart again an unsung hero. 5 rebounds, 6 assists and a steal and it just seemed like his activity got the team fired up some and helped close the gap earlier.

    It's nice to see the team clicking like this, I'm glad it's against the Lakers but can we do it against teams with better records than us... and can we sustain this in the second half?

    A lot of fun to watch though! Go Blazers!

    Got to give him credit. He's played generally very well since coming back. He adds a lot of energy, defends and really is shooting well off the catch.

    he's a few more of these performances away from me calling for him to start over hart. if he can shoot with any sort of consistency, moving him to the starting lineup and putting hart with the bench makes so much sense

    Eubanks has played well.
    He’s a legit back up 5 when this team shoots decently.

    Lol I wonder who gave up early? So many runs in this game, it's useless to get worked up early. Lesson I had to learn.

    Lynch just said biggest discrepancy (either for the 2nd quarter or for any quarter) in blazers history. I missed the caveat but still history.

    Our team is so slow when Nurk is in there. Eubanks make it more fun and run

    The pass from Lillard to Simons in the corner I thought would be a standard play we would see time after time after time this season.

    It's NOT Nurkic. Nurkic is not a ball handler!!
    It is our guards pushing the ball when we get a rebound or turnover by the other team!

    LeBron just took a rebound and ran down the court and attacked the hoop.

    What in the world does that have to do with Nurkic?? Our team could be doing the same exact thing with Damian Lillard, Josh Hart, and Anfernee Simons. That has nothing to do with Nurkic.

    Don’t get too complacent. I’ve seen big leads evaporate quick with this Blazer team

    The only thing I'll say is I think at the moment I like the offense and energy he can bring off the bench with that second unit. It's like a change of gears. Hart is more steady and he's so good on the boards -- he just needs to accept more of his opportunities on offense.

    What really upgrades this team is a more consistent Nurk, IMO. If he comes to play at least three games out of every four, the rotation is good.

    Your point's fair, though. It's great to see Nas starting to find a comfort level and force Chauncey to make these kinds of decisions.
