And the talent of opposing starting bigs is just to much. Nurkic didn’t make a 3 but was able to use his skill to body Boban inside which was suppose to be his advantage. He got some bad fouls called on him but better players know how to draw those calls.

Ah. Back to Earth. FTR, Bobi played only 12 minutes tonight. And Milos was minus-6 in only 4 minutes.

Shai is just so awesome. Whenever he puts it all together and does these things consistently instead of one flash here another one there, he's gonna be an incredible player. Probably the kind of player that doesn't grab your attention the most but has more influence in the score than a lot of top stars.

Liked the line ups with Gallo and Scott at C at the end of the 2nd and 4th, they had some trouble getting rebounds but they hold their own defensively, and offensively they're gonna be unguardable. Looking forward to Doc experimenting with it some more.

Jerome is so green, we're gonna have to be really patient with him.

The Blazers are a lot better than I thought they'd be this season by the way. I don't mind this loss.

Gallo is da man


That sounds catchy!

I was surprised it was such a close game. The guard matchups on the road scared me. Clips seem to be missing that one piece to get them over the top in games like this one. I think some situations are still a learning curve for them as a team. Nice to see SGA get time as a starter.

The situation at center reminds me of a saying in football that goes something like, 'if you think you have 3 starting quarterbacks you have none'. Boban and Trezz keeping their big guy from going off was a plus in my book.
My eyes glaze over when reading alternative stat (not advanced stat) narratives that go many paragraphs long. If you can not make your point in 2 paragraphs it may not be a great point. :D
