    How is pointing out a career tendency "piling on?" He can help the defense, but on this club, Winslow may be the better defender, and he is coming off the bench.

    Unless he’s playing way way way over his head it’s not even close. He’s just under 50% from 3 this year. He can get his own shot at the rim or set up shooters. He plays good D and is patient and careful with the ball.

    Silliness, but perhaps not an unexpected response. Fine, if you believe Nurk gives maximum effort on most nights for his career, which is what I am referencing, feel free. We will have to agree to disagree.

    I can't believe SA could have had a 6-point possession early in the 4th after getting 3 free throws and the ball. Not sure I like the rule

    I thought we were talking about tonight, not years of the past.

    All those years where Barkley said we were going to the Finals and now we have a Finals-level team and he says “They can’t keep it up.”

    Winslow is all business all the time. Not to say he's perfect.

    The Nets are a complete clusterfuck and to prove that point see Terence Davis. I'm not saying this guy isn't a talented ball player but giving up 31 points to him on 16 shots?!? Oh and the dude (at 6'4") grabbed 9 boards.

    The Nets need a hard reset and it should probably be around KD and if not it's a total tear down and rebuild.

    Three great things at the game tonight: Fans applauding Popovich during intros. Dame giving him a hug right before tip. Billups and Pop embracing at the end.

    Maybe four great things (at least one of them should have to do with our team) we won the game and took first place in the West.

    With the win over San Antonio, the Blazers improve to a Western Conference leading 10-4. 6 games over 500.

    Here's how the 2022-23 season stacks up against a few good Blazers teams of the past -

    upload_2022-11-16_8-37-29.png

    The 2018-19 Blazers team was also 6 games over 500 at the 14 game point, finishing the season at 53-29 (Lost in the Western Conf Finals).

    The 2013-14 Blazers team was 10 games over 500 at the 14 game point, finishing the season at 54-28 (Lost in the 2nd round).

    At their current win rate of 0.714, that would put them at 58.5 wins for the season. Can the Blazers maintain this impressive pace? The last time the Blazers won more than 54 games was in 1999-00 with 59 wins (Lost in the Western Conf Finals).

    I certainly am enjoying the ride!

    Seriously. He hit a couple big shots down the stretch while Dame was struggling to help us win the game yet people STILL want to trade him.
