    Dame and Nurk show down the stretch there. They're so damn good together.

    We are a different team. This team is completely different than the one we left with.

    I love that Melo and Trent Jr are taking the shots Chief and Mo used to take....big upgrade and when Rodney comes back watch out!

    I’ll say it Nurk is our most valuable player.

    Box score says Dame has 3 assists, CJ has 5.

    Think they've mixed those up

    Why am I nervous when we have a big lead?

    I hope Rodney can come back the same, that would be huge for this team.

    Our leaders:
    Scoring Dame 20 and Trent 15
    Assist CJ 5
    Rebounding Zach 6
    Blocks. Whiteside 2
    Nurk right is out playing Jokic.
    Everyone pitch in for this lead.

    For some reason, Collins' play discouraging me more than usual; apparently Stotts tired of it too, only played 13 minutes. He has got to start doing something at an above average rate.

    CJ has had some nice passes. Also some absolute duds of possessions where he dribbles the air out of the ball.

    This emergence of GTJ is the best excuse Olshey could have ever gotten for moving CJ, but I still don't think he does it.

    Because there is no such thing as a "big lead".

    So Gary Trent is going to lock up LeBron in the playoffs right?

    Denver is resting players and using this as a scrimmage for the bench. Of course the Blazers need to take them seriously but there is no way a "muscle strain", a "sore knee" and "Rest" happen if they need this game.

    This shouldn’t be shocking. Collins is an ok player. I like his defense. Other than that he’s pretty meh. But he’s nowhere near what ppl think he is. I still can’t believe he was a top 10 pick

    Chuck still saying Portland is beating Lakers.

    He may be right. We have the MVP Gary Trent Jr.
