    Couple people slobbering all over Westbrook tonight while he's single handedly losing this game for his team

    Nurkic is light years better than Plumlee. And I liked Plumlee.

    Which is why I said Blazer guards (notice the plural). Nurkic is a new thing and certainly not representative of how they have played for the majority of the season.

    Jusuf Nurkic is the first Trail Blazer with 15+ points, 10+ rebounds, 5+ assists and 5+ blocks since Cliff Robinson (12/8/92 vs. MIL).

    Hmm. Not the first time we've had a big 4th quarter since we got Nurkic.

    Sometimes the easy pass is so simple for Dame and CJ, and instead they force their own shot.
