    Stuff like that is why the team is eleven games under .500. Crabbe retreats to the paint on the break instead of staying in front of their best player.

    Westbrook looking around for someone to talk shit to him so he can try to get his head into this game. Thankfully Blazer fans are smarter than that.

    I love how Nurk defends with his chestnand then attacks with the arms as soon as the opposing big makes his move.

    Nurkic almost makes this tanking season bearable. He has a lot of promise. Good thing we have such a great coaching staff..... (whistles)

    I think he's definitely, without question, a "I got paid, I'm coasting" guy

    Crabbe doesn't do much for this team anymore. Aminu is great defensively but offensively just meh.

    But Reggie Miller said it was a clear foul right away.

    Meyers Leonard might be the worst rotational player in the NBA. I challenge anyone to find a worse rotational big.

    You know.... those opponents may score alot of points against us. But it's all in how you look at it. In fact if you DVR the games and play them backwards, you'll see the shots actually travel back to the players hands. Only good defense could do that.

    Nurk is the worst thing to happen to Nards. It's SO GLARING now how shitty Nards is. If the goal is to increase Nards value by playing him, it's completely backfired
