Blazers would get ran in the playoffs. If we even make it there
 
Just once I’d like to crush a bad team and never let them back in.

Sometimes Trendon plays like a guy who is a steal...and sometimes he plays like a guy who you see why he went undrafted and god willing the team upgrades his position.

Since he is a 2nd year undrafted player, I still think he is worth having around. You put some more experience on that - and he will be a nice rotation player for years to come.
 
The TEAM seems to play better against the Spurs tonight with Eubanks in there.
Nurk might just not be suited for this matchup?

At times yes. At times Nurk is just as bad.
This game Nurk doesn’t seem to want to quit talking to refs and play the game?
I’ll add he has made some real good defensive plays.

we must be watching completely different games. nurk is fundamentally so sound on defense. eubanks chases blocks and misses half the time while letting his teammates out to dry. it's like watching whiteside but worse cuz he can't rebound worth a damn.

a backup big is our biggest need.

Nurk could have and should have dominated this game.

That simply isn’t true. Totally different styles of play. There is absolutely no way Drew could do what Nurk does and vice versa.
Nurk doesn’t even try to block a shot. Stands there and lets players shoot over him.
If Eubanks played with the low energy and complacency Nurk does he’d be out of the league.

if your characterization of nurk on defense is "low energy," i dont even know what to tell you. simply not even on the same page with what i see and how many things he's responsible for.

Nurk isn't taking advantage of the matchup.

dame is just dicing up their defense.

when his shot is on, he's the best player in the league with how he manipulates any defensive strategy

Yep. If the defense pulls to one side of the floor to come after you, punish that ass.

It’s a different style I said. I didn’t say “Low Energy”. If he played differently he would foul out. We’ve seen it.

Dame like a Victorian era vivisection enthusiast absolutely dissecting the defense.

If no one else says it, I appreciate the use of Victorian Era, vivisection enthusiast and dissecting.

Totally raising the bar there.
 
That weak ass pass by Dame right there is the main reason why we lost to the Pelicans 4-0. Not Aminu.
