    Colin Cowherd also mentioned it a bit--mostly as a setup to contrast him with Isaiah Thomas, so that he can then transition over to talking about Lebron James...but still, beggars can't be choosers.

    Well, he's never scored below 10 points all year. I like that.

    Start at about the 1 minute mark on the video, and he spends maybe 20 seconds talking about Dame. So that he can basically say that IT was the reason the Lakers lost.

    Damn.... Colin can be super annoying sometimes, but I give props on that stat... holy hell that's a huge difference and not a small sample size.

    You are in Nurk love. Nurk was Not great last night. He was average and his defense was suspect. ..I'm a huge CJ fan and I citied him for fuckin up right along with your idol. That's all- On to something else...

    lol, get serious... theres no way POR win this game without Nurks defense and rebounding... he played entire 4th quarter with consecutive minutes from the 3rd quarter, if he was "not great", Stotts wouldnt keep him in for that long... I dont know what game you were watching

    My two immediate takeaways from last night are that;
    1. IT is a terrible basketball player. The only time he passed to another teammate is when he had no choice. Seems like the Harlem Globetrotters might be the team for him and his “skills”. Jeez he was bad last night. I was almost (hey, I said ALMOST) sorry for the Lakers for thinking piss and purple would make that little ball hog a real basketball player.

    2. Myers Leonard literally looked like a cartoon basketball player sharing the floor with real basketball players. I felt like I was watching a parody, unsure if he was really serious out there. The man is a posturing fool. Nurk and Collins HAVE to do a better job of staying out of foul trouble just to keep Leonard at the end of the bench. I’ve pretty much stayed off the Dump Myers bandwagon but it’s finally time to join the crowd......

    I seriously wonder if Meyers was in the G league...would anybody notice him at all?

    I'm not even sure he would stand out..other than the occasional dunk and post dunk flex. Three pointer and the post three flex etc.etc.

    Shanghai Sharks would make him a superstar..I think Yao Ming owns them or did...used to play for them.

    I would much rather see Myle succeed! I just don't have much faith in him anymore.

    >I'll state this once and that is all I need to do. Watch the game in various versions on Utube. Note the scores 58-57, 78-84, 101-93, 103-100, 106-103 and where was Nurk in the last two minutes? Randle owned the paint and any Portland center in the second half. I watched the whole game and if you did, you can certainly say we were doomed for a loss until Dame saved our ass. I don't need your sarcasm and don't care about whatever rant you choose. I'm relaxed and just chillin.

    Commence Rant

    The fact that Meyers was re-signed at all is the biggest blunder of this front office. I resent them for that, and for making me have to watch him, at all, past his rookie contract.
    It also makes me seriously question their judgement - Big Time.

    It makes my blood boil just thinking that someone so incompetent makes so much money. Its tantamount to promoting the office dunce, the guy that is useless at his job, being selected for promotion and higher pay-bracket - amidst all of the real workers who made the results around him possible.

    Blazers Brass - Stop paying mediocre players because they have 'Character'. Drop the appealing to fans/demographics bullshit and do your jobs and hire Real Ballers - you know tough, focused bBall players - 'cause Meyers Leonard 'aint one of those and is lucky to be in the league at all.
    How this guy got a contract over Rolo or G Henderson is beyond me. . . .

    End Rant

    Huh, glossed over LeBron. My b.

    Giannis over KD? KD is getting the kind of MVP consideration that Giannis is lacking.

    Scottie is still one of the best voices in the NBA....like ever. Amin makes some very good points in the 2nd half of that above video as well.
