    After 38 minutes for Nurk, I'm wondering what he will have left in the tank.

    With COVID running rampant, the blazers keeping cj away so he does not miss the birth of his child is the decent thing to do.

    It's also the best thing for the team as when CJ comes back we get back to losing by 30

    With this current team and with all the defensive liabilities out (CJ, Norman Powell and to a lesser extent Dame) I think that even if we don't win against the Nets, we'd at least be competitive in this game

    Yeah the team is so much better without Dame, CJ, or Norm. If we could just cut these guys not only would we make the playoffs, we'd fight for HCA.

    Blazers were 11-13 with CJ. Not good, but close to .500.

    They have been 4-11 without him.

    Lighten up bro.
    His wife will soon be in labor. With this blast of COVID going everywhere, they don't want CJ to pick it up by being with the team and bring it home to her or the baby. Shit is sometimes bigger than the game FAMS!

    I see we have a new candidate for the Mayor of ClownTown. Keep telling yourself that Chachi.

    Not only decent, it's the only thing that should be done.

    Guy who I replied to is probably single with no family. No concept of what’s really important in life.

    Good, now we won't have to imagine what pre-game meal is stuck in his beard.

    Whoa whoa... I know that Norm isn't the defensive stopper that some in here hoped he'd be but he hasn't been a liability and if you see him that way, I don't see how you can see Dame being one to a "lesser extent". Norm is a better defender than Dame and Norm is also a good defender he's just not good enough to cover for how bad the other defenders are on the perimeter, especially in Chauncey's system.

    I still think they beat us by more than 10 even without the Beard. So @DDolla keep on making money off of the suffering of your fellow fans, if you can even consider yourself a fan when you're doing that.

    Brooklyn can shoot threes, so outcome is already decided. But I do appreciate not having to watch Harden.
