Biggest thing about this game is whether or not Nurk plays

well, Westbrook out makes it harder for Portland to win. His career has cratered since Dame's walk-off 3 in 2019

1. Woo. The Lakers are not great. I don't say that to be inflammatory but they need some definite help, this game should not be close.

2. I know some people are down on Billups because of this awful season, but.. he's made CJ Elleby look okay on an NBA court. Not great. Not average. Not like a rotation player, but he doesn't look like he should not be playing professional basketball anymore. That's an accomplishment. He's done a good job with the young guys.

All you can do is laugh at a game like this and hope that universal karma gives you a helping hand at the lottery for still competing.

Lose to Orlando by double digits last night.. beat the Lakers tonight.

That was the best game of the season I think.. I can’t remember the last time I saw a blazers team play like that.

Since I was watching the lakers stream it was particularly satisfying watching the post game show. The crew was talking about how it was the most demoralizing lose they’ve ever seen, how bad they need to do something, how embarrassing it was etc. LOVED it.
