With this game, it is CONFIRMED that Shabazz Napier is like a mini version of Damian Lillard except he doesn’t have a Soundcloud rap project. A Napier who was not a mini Damian Lillard wouldn’t have taken over this game the way this Napier did. When I saw he only had one point in the…

Maurice Harkless 22 Points Full Highlights (12/23/2017)
I know I often speak in hyperbole when it comes to such things, but is this not a top ten most anomalous scoring performance so far this season? Moe Harkless wasn’t even averaging five points per game before he did this, even though he’s one of the main Blazers bench guys. I was starting to…
Read MoreShabazz Napier 21 Points Full Highlights (12/23/2017)
It took a while, but Shabazz Napier is now a better player than Shabazz Muhammad. It could just be because Muhammad is receiving literally no minutes right now, but you can not deny that Napier is scoring more points per game more efficiently than ever before. He’s actually… good! LeBron was right after all! With…
Read MoreJusuf Nurkic 20 Points Full Highlights (12/18/2017)
I wonder how mad Tom Thibodeau was as he watched Karl-Anthony Towns get victimized again and again by the Damian Lillard- Jusuf Nurkic pick-and-roll for the first 30 minutes of the game. What good is being a defensive guru if your players can’t stop the most used play in basketball? The Blazers got away from…
Read MoreMeyers Leonard 17 Points Full Highlights (12/2/2017)
Attention circus shot fans: Meyers Leonard makes the season’s best circus shot at 0:47 of this video. Attention Meyers Leonard fans: Meyers Leonard scores a season-high 17 points at 0:00 of this vid. Attention Blazers fans: Why doesn’t Meyers Leonard play more minutes? I think I already know the answer. Because he is one of…
Read MoreJusuf Nurkic 25 Points Full Highlights (11/30/2017)
Jusuf Nurkic did his best to get his team the win against the Bucks, but he was fighting an uhpill battle against the combined efforts of Damian Brickard and C.J. McBrickum (not to mention Pat Brickaughton and Noah Vonafraidtoshoot). Theoretically, a matchup against John Henson and Thon Maker would be the perfect matchup to exploit;…
Read MorePat Connaughton 17 Points Full Highlights (11/27/2017)
Pat Connaughton got a lot of people excited (it can’t be just me) when he scored 24 points in the Blazers’ season-opening massacre of the Suns. He’d been waiting in reserve for two whole years, and now it was finally time for him to craft some artificial wings made out of wax and fly towards…
Read MoreJusuf Nurkic 29 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (11/24/2017)
The Nets are surprisingly good this season, kind of, but their current center rotation is really iffy. And it gets even iffier when they face a team like the Blazers who have a big banger manning the pivot. Nurkic is one of the most physical players in the league, and the Nets combined frontline of…
Read MoreNoah Vonleh 11 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (11/20/2017)
Perhaps the biggest contribution from Vonleh this game was his eighteen rebounds, five of them on the offensive end. You might be thinking “…B-b-but DEE TEE BEE, why did you put his eighteen rebounds in the title of the video if they were so important?” What a foolish question. The answer is clear. I do…
Read MoreShabazz Napier 19 Points Full Highlights (11/15/2017)
Shabazz “Shabazzledazzle” Napier has been marginalized for almost his whole time in Portland. If that’s even the right word. Either way, hard to get minutes when you’ve got an All-Star ironman playing ahead of you at your position. Every minute Lillard isn’t in the game for the Blazers feels like wasted time. Just like with…
