    And with all that, Blazers up 3 at the half.

    I hereby propose, in homage to the fans and the late owner, that the Blazers adopt as official theme song Jimi Hendrix tune Manic Depression.

    If Terry is going to continue to play Kanter tonight, he's got to align his minutes with Favors.

    I wouldn't play him at all, but it gives him a better chance to make an impact on both ends

    I'm sure Giannis could lay it up for 3.

    Can you imagine if this team didn’t give up so many easy layups how good they’d be? Get a coach in who can help them play better defense and play with effort consistently, and I see good things happening. Potentially very good things. Another flamethrower off the bench (a la Clarkson or Ingles) would be the icing on the top.

    Neither Davis nor Lebron are playing in LA's game vs Houston right now.

    Don't wanna jinx this but we can lock in a spot in the top 6 tonight if we win our game and Houston wins in LA.

    eh? she's terrific, usually loves Dame too. Was perfectly normal in the first half. I don't get why people here don't like her.

    One thing is so apparent. Kanter is unplayable. His defense is essentially we are playing with 4 players. So fuckin bad I know what he can bring on offense when in form but he simply gives up a basket on every possession once anyone drives

    I was sure w can play and win against them. They are very fast, mobile, but there is some f...ng defense in our team when Nurk plays...

    Altough defense on perimeter is a problem, but Utah shoots a lot of threes against everybody.

    What a pass by Nurk!

    When rolling, Nurk is absolutely an elite center.
