I've been paying more attention to Portland lately and other than the obvious Dame/CJ praises I'd like to praise Nurkic. He's so dominant. Is he a top 10 big man in the league? Maybe pushing to top 5 or would that be too much?
76ers fans: Recently, I have paid more attention to the Blazers. In addition to the praise that Lillard and McCollum deserve, I want to perform Nurkic . He is too dominant, is he now the top ten insider in the league? Maybe it’s the top five, isn’t it too much?
[–]TrailBlazers crazymakoto 62 points 4 hours ago
No that's accurate. No one wants to pay attention to what he is doing but the real people know.
Blazers fans: No, you are very accurate. No one wants to pay attention to his performance, but people who really understand the ball know.
[–]Trail Blazers pdxblazer 31 points 4 hours ago
He can play like a top 5 center when he is on his game, some nights he is closer to the top 10/12 range but last month or two he has been killing it and its allowed the team to reach a new level.
Trailblazer fans: When he enters the state he can play the league's top five center performance, and sometimes he is closer to the league's top 10 or top 12, but in the past one or two months He really opened up, and it brought us to another level.

If there's any hope of escaping the first round-Nurk's improved play is it. Elkic’s progress.
[–]giantnutsack 15 points 4 hours ago
Nurkic won this game for us. Any time he was in there we'd stretch our lead out and as soon as he'd sub out Boston would be back in it.
是努尔Kitch won the game for us. As long as he is on the court, we can expand the lead, as long as he rests, the Celtics can catch it back.

Jusuf Nurkic, Kyrie stopper.

Nurk and Moe saved us tonight. So many key plays by bothof them. That was a really rough shooting night, but some of those hustle plays from Moe throughout the game probably saved us in the end.
Trailblazers fans: Nurkic and Harkless saved the team tonight, They have many key performances. The team's shooting tonight is really not ideal, but Harkless's hard performance in some rounds may save us at the last minute.

One of the most electrifying players in the game night-in, night-out. Truly. It seems like every time I tune in he is making big time shots.
Raptors fans: He is one of the most exciting players in every game, really. It seems that every time I watch him play, he can score a key goal.

2nd best PG in the league
Pistons fans: the league’s second point guard.
[–]Trail Blazers skrulewi 26 points 4 hours ago
so much gratitude. He keeps getting better. I don't think he can quite get as good as curry, but he's really not that far behind. So much composure, gets the numbers , and the one thing that I find nobody talks about, is he gets tons of very non-flashy layups a game by perfectly reading plays and darting to the rim. His ability is never on highlight reels. Plus his defense has improved to average, which was once the weakest part of his game. It still is the weakest, but he's not horrible.
Trailblazers fans: Thank you very much for your praise to Lillard. He is still getting stronger. I don't think he will become as good as Curry, but he is not much worse. He is very calm and has good output, and I found that there is one more thing that everyone hasn't said before, that is, he can complete a lot of very simple layups by reading the game, and his style is not fancy at all. And his defense has improved to an average level, which was his weakest link before. The defense is still his weakest, but it's not that bad anymore.

I know it's a cliche but I feel like he actually has a bit of a mamba mentality which is why a lot of laker fans like him.
Trail Blazers: I know that Very cliché, but I think he really has a strong Mamba spirit, so many Lakers like him.
[–]Lakers Cooler-McFlyer 12 points 3 hours ago
Yup. There was a game in 2013, about 2 weeks before Kobe ruptured his achilles, that the 2 were balling out. I think both had 40. I knew he'd be trouble, he was just a rookie
Lakers fans: Yes, there was a game in 2013. At that time, there was still two weeks before Kobe Bryant tore his Achilles tendon. He and Kobe faced each other in that game. I remember they both scored 40 points. I knew then that he would be a big trouble in the future. He was just a rookie.

Kobe 45, Dame 38. I was at that game lmao

I want to see him and LeBron together but I dont want to see him go to LA. Guess we gotta get Bron to Portland.
Bulls fans: I want to see Lila De and James cooperate, but I don't want him to go to Los Angeles. It seems we have to get James to Portland.
[–]Raptors KawhiGotUsNow 36 points 4 hours ago
he's arguably better than kyrie, but so many people think Kyrie is on some next level/tier
Raptors fans: Lillard is undoubtedly better than Owen, but there are many people who still I think Owen is better than Lillard.
[–]Trail Blazers RipCity77 80 points 4 hours ago
Because he plays here in Portland. Most people don't care to watch him. Put him somewhere else and he would be talked about out the asshole
Trail Blazers fans: because he was in Poland Tran plays, and most people don't have the heart to watch him play. Put him on another team and he will be blown up.
[–]Trail Blazers johnsom3 20 points 3 hours ago
Because Kyrie got to play in 3 finals with Lebron.
Trail Blazers fans: Because Irving and James have played 3 finals together.
[–]Trail Blazers Scotyknows 11 points 3 hours ago
If we had kyrie instead of dame, we would be a worse team.
Hell, boston, with all their internal issues, might be a better team with dame.
If we replace Lillard with Irving, we will be worse off. If
put Lillard on the Celtics, even though they have so many internal problems, they might be better than they are now.
[–]East dboti 14 points 3 hours ago
Dame seems like a better leader so I'm pretty sure he'd be better to have than Kyrie.
Lillard is a better leader, so I am sure that Lillard is a better leader Virtue will be better.

I agree. Been saying it for a while.

Listen, I'm not overreacting and saying Kyrie is not good, because he is good; but that does not mean he also isn't slightly overrated. It took LeBron to come to town and help him win a championship in Cleveland. Before that he could not even get to the playoffs. Now he's faltering in Boston. Just saying.
Trailblazers fans: Listen, I'm not making a fuss about Irving not good, after all, he is very strong. But this does not mean that he is not slightly overrated. It was James who got to Cleveland to help him win the championship. Before that, he couldn't make the playoffs. Now he is stopping in Cleveland, let me talk about it.
[–]Hawks MassiveFruit 23 points 3 hours ago
Before that he could not even get to the playoffs.
In his age 19, 20, and 21 season. When his supporting cast consisted of Alonzo Gee, Dion Waiters, and Boobie Gibson.
Eagles fans: "Before that, he couldn't make the playoffs." Owen was only in his early 20s. At the time, his matching lineup was Alonzo Key, Waiters and Daniel Gibson.
[–]Raptors KawhiGotUsNow 27 points 4 hours ago
he is definitely overrated. People calling him a top 10 player are clueless
Raptors fans: He must be overrated. Everyone said that he is a top ten player, which is illogical.

That was not a end of the Smart shot by Marcus.4 Raptors fans: The last shot of "Bright Brother" was not smart.
[–]Raptors twistedlogicx 244 points 4 hours ago
Smart worked so hard in that game and then threw it away with that ill-advised three attempt.
Raptors fans: Smart was very hard throughout the game, and then used nothing The brain's three-pointer was ruined.
[–]Raptors chicogarciamarquez 205 points 4 hours ago
You just described his entire career a huge intentionally missed free-throw...basically, he was doing a lot of things right. But this fucking shot just dissvolves my brain into cheese...I excuse and blame him for this game at the same time.
Celtics fans: then he got the key His offensive rebounds, and the crucial deliberate miss of the second free throw... He basically handled a lot of things very well. But that terrible three-pointer made me stunned...I blamed him and wanted to excuse him in this game.

I'm so sick of hearing about Kyrie and the Celtics all day every day. That was an extremely satisfying win.
Fans: I have had enough to hear about Irving and the Celtics all day long. I am quite satisfied with this victory.
[–][POR] Robert Pack YouPointIPunch 54 points 4 hours ago
Lowest point total in a win this year for Portland. Combination of some good defense and some atrocious shooting by Boston.
Trailblazer fans: our lowest win this season score. This is also due to some of the excellent defense and poor shooting of the Celtics.
[–][BOS] Kyrie Irving Tanksofnes 18 points 4 hours ago
Heard we shot something like 20% from 3 in the game. Only reason we didn't get blown out was that you were also bricking it from 3 but you had a driving game and more importantly, knocked us out on offensive rebounding.
Celtics fans: It seems that our shooting percentage from beyond the three-point line is about 20%. The reason why we didn't lose by a big score was simply because you were also hitting irons from beyond the three-point line, but you controlled the game, and more importantly, you exploded us in offensive rebounding.
