    I didn't think the defense looked good at all. NO was getting a lot of open, in rhythm shots, but just didn't shoot very well. We were letting Cousins waltz down the lane.

    It's so irritating to see opposing teams design defenses to stiffle Lillard and CJ, and have great success, but we never seem to do shit to stop the opposing team's best player.

    If Davis finishes that game instead of Nurk we lose. I'm not here for the Nurkic slander.

    How did Davis outplay him exactly? It took him almost twice as many attempts to get the same amount of points and Cousins did most of his damage against him.

    It's not so much the record, but seeing the team play well. We've looked a little bit worse every game so far, starting with a fantastic opener, to looking like mucus tonight.

    When teams trap Damian and CJ, rather than passing to Aminu or Harkless for a 3, why don't they attack the rim?

    A moment of silence for Pels fans. An entire training camp with Cousins must have given them a lot of optimism. Now, their team is 1-3, and Davis is injured again.

    I'll take an ugly win every damned day. Dame won't have many games like this. And Nurk played well after those 3 quick fouls.

    Ugly? Learn to appreciate rebounding a little more. This was a dominant rebounding display.

    The rebounding has me sprung.
    Like I said, I'll take an ugly loss any day. And the offense was pretty ugly.

    He seems to play best when he is the focal point. Does he get in the same rhythm when Davis is on the floor?

    This team rebounding like the old days. When your pounding the boards especially on the offense it take a toll on the other team. That means if they lost there legs maybe that was the reason they miss there shots even if they was open.

    I don't know if you guys have noticed this or not, but the blazers have transformed into a team where winning is the default... not the exception. In every game this season (and pre-season) we've either had a chance to win or have won. Appreciate it... you could be a kings/knicks/pels/lolakers fan
