    You only remember the clutch ones he misses. Most of the time, he hits em.

    Great Save at the end as it was going our of bounce. (solid D as well) He needs to be in there as does Aminu, but neither should take big shots.

    Jeez. The turnovers were particularly egregious tonight. Any win on a back to back is good though

    Refs helped us a little bit, and the Hornets missed a lot of open shots. This was way more bad Hornets than good Blazers.

    Hurd didn't say he thought it was a foul, he said he was surprised it wasn't called a foul.

    I think he was surprised that they didn't get some home cooking.

    Ok guys. I did this. I started watching the game with 10:45 left in the fourth quarter. We were up 16.

    Well Portland did everything they could to do to give that game away.
    8 turnovers in the 4th quarter, and 4-10 from the ft line according to Hurd.

    Why Charlotte couldn't win I'll never know.
    I found it funny.
    ET took a offbalance shot at the elbow and airballed it.
    Very next play Batum is trying to post up ET and takes a baseline one footed fadeaway that gets the side of the backboard.
    These two players man. One is playing up to his talent level. The other just casually does w/e he feels like on the court and hopes it works.

    At least we saw a little of Nurk and Collins together. Hope that becomes a thing.

    Aminus block was amazing.

    Felt like a muddy race in the rain. We couldn't find a rotation that really worked until we stuck Nurk in the middle and kept him there. Aminu block and Turner save were huge. The lack of a true SF is still killing us. Gunna shout that to the heavens.

    King, I swear if you say anything to contradict that last statement, I will put you on ignore.
