    Why is the defense better now?
    • Nurk really does make a significant difference?
    • Major scheme changes?
    • Far worse competition?

    So is DJJ officially out of the rotation? Or is there an injury?

    That third quarter forcefeeding of Nurk on the P&R turned this game into a blowout even if it wasn't reflected in the +/-

    it broke their back

    • We out-rebounded them by 23. I don't think Pops will be too happy about that.

    The Blazers easily dispose of the Spurs and have now won 7 of their last 8 games. The Blazers Uprise Postgame Show has you covered to talk about the game and the final week of the season!

    Why is DJJ in Stotts’ dog house? Anyone know the story?

    After a brief slow start, they looked pretty.

    Regardless how far we may or may not go......I don't think anyone will disagree they have looked much better in the last 12 or so games. Offense and Defense.
    They are a lot more fun to watch.

    I tried to do my best, sir. I think I posted four separate negative criticisms of Blazers in a game we dominated. What more could I do?

    Hey, that was one of the few post-game promos where something negative wasn't included... Cut them some slack.

    I listened for almost 15 minutes. It was pretty bleak.
