Late challenge call.

 

[bobf]

Yet another bonehead foul of 3 point shooter.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Our team just doesn’t lose games in which they have a big lead. Awesome trait of this year’s team.

 

[BlazerBeav]

That said, healthy he’d have been the first guy off the bench.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

will not be successful

 

[julius]

Just stop. He's not the starting PF anymore. He's been out for almost 2 complete seasons.

Plus, there's no guarantee they'll re-sign him this off season anyways.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Just stop. He's not the starting PF anymore. He's been out for almost 2 complete seasons.

Nurk was our starting center when he was out. Collins is still our starting PF. Amazing how well we’ve done without him. Not to mention we’re without Hall of Famer tonight.

I think he’s coming back for NBA Finals. That’s what I’m hearing.

 

[bobf]

Nurk beasting this game. I’ll take this Nurk over KAT any day.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Can we get 4 guys 30 points?? Has that ever happened?

 

[OneSport3]

Nurkic slanderers, this is your time to recant…

 

[julius]

Our team just doesn’t lose games in which they have a big lead. Awesome trait of this year’s team.

You mean how like they had a 30-10 lead against the Houston Rockets this year, and lost the game?

Or the 20 point lead against the Bulls in a game this year that they ended up losing?

Nurk had started more than 11 games as a Blazer.

Just. Stop.

 

[crandc]

Got so ugly for a bit I watched a video on Bom Appetit channel. Came back to see lead back up to 15. And I learned chocolate cream cheese frosting.

Forgot about those 2. We’ve been much better than previous seasons though. Much better. We are 15-0 when leading by double figures at halftime.

 

[crandc]

Clearly Rockets aren't tanking.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Nurk had started more than 11 games as a Blazer.

Just. Stop.

Our dynasty (i.e. winning multiple championships) depends on the play of Collins. For now, we tread water til he returns.

I'll have some of whatever you're on.

Actually, this loss clinches the worst record in the NBA. They tanked beautifully.

[crandc]

Blazers win! Stotts got win 400, which will upset some people.

 

[OneSport3]

129 to the G-League Rockets…

 

[Scalma]

Blevins is comedy he’s legit pickup at the rec caliber.

 

[crandc]

They played hard.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Great win. Another 4 game when streak! Turned our Last 10 from 2-8 to 8-2!

 

[James lamphear]

We need to win and we did. I believe we wasn't much focus on defense tonight but the offense was pretty damn good.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

We really missed Melo off bench. Too much pressure on starters.

 

[wizenheimer]

I'll have some of whatever you're on.

 

[DDolla]

Houston’s scrubs are better than our scrubs

 

[James lamphear]

129 to the G-League Rockets…

Rockets been making games out who ever they played there making games close.
