    he's an average starting center who is a terrible finisher but an elite rebounder while being adequate on defense.

    eubanks is a borderline backup who might not be in the NBA next year.

    missing nurk hurts us. this is unequivocal.

    Looks like it's just styled differently. He looks...taller.

    Lately Dame can't get a fucking call unless it's a borderline flagrant.

    Toronto is being SUPER, SUPER aggressive denying passing lanes yet I don’t see any back cuts to take advantage of it. GTJ started off the game face guarding Ant.

    So many shots that should've gone in...

    Something is off with the mojo.

    Grant shot that ball about as high as his lob to Sharpe.

    seriously how do you comeback from a quarter like that? I mean that is one bad start. Toronto just played last night and portland looks tired already. I just dont get this team.

    Did @AldoTrapani get scared off by Dame's record setting game. This seems like the perfect opportunity for him to tell us both that Dame is washed and he feels sorry for Dame because he deserves to be on a better team.

    Supposedly, that is to cut down on their guards using our guards as turnstiles. Nas asked to do it last game because it was getting so bad.

    3 games ahead of the play-in is a lot. Look at the standings.

    Correct... just like if we came out better, it wouldn't mean it was a good idea. Kind of a meaningless thing.

    They've done it before, but yeah not a good start at all. Size is killing us.

    We are making Toronto look so good in our last two games against them that they may decide not to blow it up.
