Game Thread 2022-23 Game #14 BLAZERS VS SPURS - NOVEMBER 15, 2022 - TUESDAY - 7:00 PM (PDT) ROOT

[TBpup]

Played defense when they had to, so credit where credit is due.

But there is a LOT to work on.

 

[illmatic99]

that zone d a few random possessions in the fourth felt like we got a stop in it every time

 

[riverman]

Josh Hart is just a nail gun! He seals shit up tight at the end!

 

[beast blazer]

Blazers won from sheer talent advantage. Don't think I've ever seen more passes into the bleachers

 

[SlyPokerDog]

10-4!!!

Good buddy.

 

[illmatic99]

That was definitely a game they should've lost. The Spurs seemingly went away from Poeltl.

we finally made some adjustments

 

[Chris Craig]

Ugly but a win!

10-4

Best in the West

 

[DDolla]

They’re relaxing when playing at home

 

[Cugel]

A win is a win but fer crissakes what a fugly performance by both teams, really.

 

[RR7]

I dont know who the Spurs announcers are, but that was the stream I got, and they're a great team. No homerism whatsoever. Credit to the Blazers often, and quite a few jokes about calls going there way when they might have. 10/10, would listen again.

 

[beast blazer]

Nurk was -21. Eubanks was +28

 

[James lamphear]

Ugly 2nd half but they found a way to win the game. I give the spurs credit how they play especially there coming in to from back to back plus there one of the youngest team in the NBA. But as I said every is a great win.

 

[LayneStaley]

Seriously though, does Nurk have any trade value? Will he accept riding the bench at end of halves?

 

[beast blazer]

Jacob potel 14-17 from the field, he was making nurk look really bad.

Stealth tanking for Wemby

Sean “my heel was not out of bounds” Elliot is the color commentator. Not sure who the play-by-play guy is.

Don’t know why they didn’t do it more. Maybe Chauncey doesn’t trust the zone without Justise in it.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

1. PDX 10-4
2. Denver 9-4
3. Utah 10-6
4. Phoenix 8-5
5. Dallas 8-5
6. Memphis 9-6

man…are we for real?

 

[wizenheimer]

Yeah this feels like a loss

This game was over since the 1st quarter

I think the writing is on the wall. Lots and lots of work to do

They're not gonna keep their place in the conference with shit like this.

The Blazers are earning a loss tonight.

This is sad

ya this aint our night

Watch the game and see how the flow is. Spurs got this

oh ye of little faith

They are super homerish. Probably more lighthearted this season since the Spurs are not meant to be good.

[AldoTrapani]

Down 2 with 4 minutes left. Impossible.

Lol

Wait until he starts sulking.
I hope he gets going and has a few good games. Nurk is a player they need.

 

[beast blazer]

Simons and grant combined for 11-18 from 3.

 

[MickZagger]

Teams that grind out close games, or games that they shouldn’t win is what separates good teams from bad teams in all sports.

 

[PCmor7]

What a sloppy win. Glad we found a way to grind it out somehow. I don't know the last time I've seen two teams combine for so many turnovers on just routine passes. It was embarrassing.

Nurk and Nas, in particular, seemed mentally to be somewhere else. I hate watching Nurk play when he's going through the motions. It really messes us up. I'd almost rather he went to the coaches and say he's not feeling it so just make him inactive. He made Jacob Poetl looks like Bob Lanier.

Also thought the coaches got a little too prideful about the switches on Poetl's elbow screens. In the first half, OK. But we never addressed it at half time or, if we did, we didn't execute the adjustment.

Anyway, always good to win a game that you can learn from.

I’m not one for +|- but Nurk -21 Eubanks +28 and we win by +7.

 

[illmatic99]

i was saying this from earlier in the game, but it looked deliberate. we might have been working out kinks in the man to man in practice yesterday and wanted to try it out in the game.

lucky to mess around like that and get a win, but also the sorta thing good teams do.

 

[TBpup]

Nurk was -21. Eubanks was +28

Sometimes that doesn't tell a very accurate story. Tonight.....it did.
