    I think some of these Nurkic numbers that keep being tweeted are kind of bogus. Not that they are inaccurate, just that they are so lacking in context they can be misleading

    Dame and Nurkic have been playing most of their minutes together. But Dame plays with Kanter...Nurkic doesn't have that liability.

    Dame-Nurkic-RoCo have been really good in this series. Look at the on/off, Net Ratings, and BPM's for the Blazers:

    upload_2021-6-2_9-46-57.png

    upload_2021-6-2_9-49-15.png

    I think you need to look at all those numbers to get full context

    yeah, Kanter has sucked; but he's only sucked for 56 minutes. Melo has sucked for more than twice the minutes Kanter has. And considering the rotations, that Kanter and Melo's minutes have come in the last halves of the 1st & 3rd Q's when Dame has been on the floor, it's amazing Dame is posting the differentials he is

    look at the net ratings (and yes, those are heavily dependent on rotations): Dame +2o; Nurkic +4; RoCo -2; Powell -6; CJ -18; Kanter -18; Melo -21

    Portland has been failing at the top of the 2nd and 4th quarter when Dame sits.

    That's not to say Nurkic hasn't been good...he has if you ignore lots of stupid fouls. But everything Portland does positive in this series depends on Dame being on the floor.

    Capacity increasing to 10,000 for Game 6. Shame we can't give Dame more help.

    Took some doing. Roku us goniat least for now. Comcast device does not support NBA league pass. I was going to leave Sling for YouTube Tv since it has more channels but instead keep Sling and adding sports package. Means paying twice FF or NBA tv for now. Fuck all of them.

    I have a feeling we will have a game 7. Or we come out hot and Denver keeps it close in game 6 and we lose in the end.

    Tomorrow is either gonna really suck or be really optimistic...

    I will say if Morris and rivers do that shit again, we don't stand much of a chance if we dole out the same shot attempts at a similar clip for our role players.
