I have to admit. This is the least excited ive been to watch a game since we acquired Dame.

Between the politics in the game, Dame’s injury, the way we were manhandled with Dame for the last Two and a half games...
I dunno. Ill watch, but zero expectations Nd little excitement.
Very tough to get motivated for this. Will i even dawn my typical Blazer gear?

ugh.
Go Blazers........

Yeah, not terribly excited. Feeling calm though. Kind of have accepted where it's at

The biggest disappointment for me by far is Nurkic. If you take Kanter off last year's team and replace him with Nurkic I doubt we'd have been any better at all. Who knows, we could have been worse, pretending we have a rim protector instead of knowing we had one of the worst defending centers in the league and playing accordingly.

Nurkic's stats have been good because the Stotts offense uses him so much, but his many wimpy failed layups have been offset stats. Whiteside or Kanter would have made those.

Before the injury our coaches had made him unlearn his weakass Nugget habits, but he returned with them intact.

Stott's offense doesn't use him enough.
 
Nurk’s stats have been good because he’s good, but also because the Lakers have been using AD on doubling Dame. Nurk is often open for a quick hitting pass to the middle. It will be interesting to see if his numbers take a hit since the Lakers can now play straight up on our guards.

Without Dame, Blazers will be going to Nurkic alot for offense. Expect a big night
