Positive is 5 players in double figures. Nurk got double double again. Leonard had a good game with 15 and the bench had 34 and had decent showing in the 2nd half. Short coming it was the defense tonight even though they play better in the 2nd Half but still wasn't good. But again every win is good doesn't matter how we win. Go Blazers!!!!

Nurk has been very good.

They need to get him opportunity close to the basket. Lately his 1st shot been 3 pointer coming off the bench cold.

I feel like they need his defense and I think the fouls and lack of good touches on offense are starting to effect his Defense. He has really, really good footwork, just get him some easy shots.
 
It’s so easy to gameplan for Portland. Dame and CJs individual ability masks how basic the offense is. Did we run one post up for Nurk? Nevermind any of the other players who are just spectators. It’s great that we’re winning, but this looks like another quick exit in the playoffs unless they learn to lean on each other more consistently.
 
How big was that half court shot by sauce? That and Noah's fts go the other way, we lose this game

Leonard was key, especially with Zach struggling. Blazers will need a huge effort from bench tomorrow night. Dame looked exhausted late tonight. Still hit the clutch shot, and tipped the ball to a teammate on Knicks last shot. CJ was smooth and clutch tonight. Maybe his best game this season. Hats off to the Knicks. They hit their shots and were physical with the Blazers. They clogged the paint and didn't allow Nurk to get much going in the second half offensively.

Again, they clogged the paint. Didn't allow Nurk to set up shop down there tonight. Enes Kanter is a quality player. Noah Vonleh played quality ball tonight.

The only reason he was traded to CHI was for his contract. He got us under the tax. Trading Biggie would have done nothing.

And? Vonleh was and is still the better player. Drafting Biggie was a waste of time.
 
Before game, Knicks TV announcer said when Dame met with Paul Allen last season, it was agreed upon if Dame wants to be traded, he will be sent to a team of his choice. Then they said Dame denied it though.
 
Oh, and if we're still talking about Vonleh: he was equal to or better than both Aminu and Ed and we paid to get rid of him???
 
Missed the game, but it sure sounds like I didn't miss much. A win is a win, but the Blazers struggling like that against bottom feeders sure doesn't inspire confidence.

I wonder what the Knicks did to finally turn Vonleh into a useful player? Do they have a big man coach by chance?
