Let's end the losing streak....please.

 

[TBpup]

Best pic of the opposing coach, maybe ever.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Let's end the losing streak....please.

Yeah they can get this one if they play well.

 

[Cugel]

Dame and GPII still out? ESPN injury report doesn't list them but I don't really trust that report.

 

[tlongII]

Dame and GPII still out? ESPN injury report doesn't list them but I don't really trust that report.

Dame, GPII, and Keon are all out tonight.

 

[Cugel]

shit

 

[Chris Craig]

Drew Eubanks is questionable with back spasms.

 

[Mr. Robot]

were in a bad period, so hopefully guys show some character and quality play, which is very much needed for self confidence

knicks are not as good as bucks or the cavs, this is a winnable road game, even without dame

 

[HailBlazers]

Drew Eubanks is questionable with back spasms.

Badji sighting tonight?

Maybe we have a shot in this game

 

[Idog1976]

This isn't quite a "Must Win", but it's somewhat close. A win here gives us a bit of breathing room and will keep Dame out longer than if the streak continues. Dame MUST heal for the rest of the season and we have to get winnable games like this one. I also want to see some plays run for Sharpe and for him to look for his shot. It's time Shaedon let's get a win!

 

[TBpup]

We came into the season overloaded at guard, but now Dame is out for the 2nd time, GP2 still hasn't made his debut, Keon has his hip injury, and suddenly Shaedon can't shoot.

 

[Chris Craig]

Brunson going to go off. Probably Randle too.

 

[THE HCP]

Warm ups

Shaedon can shoot. He just has something going on. It happens to most players even some superstars are terrible at points in their rookie year e.g. Kobe and KD both looked horrid for stretches of their rookie seasons with flashes of brilliance.

 

[Cugel]

Drew Eubanks is questionable with back spasms.

uh oh.

Drew warning up. That's good.

 

[Driew]

Shaedon can shoot. He just has something going on. It happens to most players even some superstars are terrible at points in their rookie year e.g. Kobe and KD both looked horrid for stretches of their rookie seasons with flashes of brilliance.

And his pinky on his shooting hand is fucked up--that can mess with your shooting. He shot fine when he first came back from the injury but could have reinjured it or it's just feeling worse and he's trying to play through it.

 

[OneSport3]

Looks like Eubanks is officially out. Damn.

 

[Mr. Robot]

relax guys, nurk got us for sure

 

[riverman]

The bleeding stops tonight! Go Good Guys!

 

[Chris Craig]

Looks like Eubanks is officially out. Damn.

Damn, he's a big energy guy for the Blazers.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Nurk is falling asleep and getting beat.

 

[Chris Craig]

These jerseys look orange with the orange of the Knicks. Weird.

 

[HailBlazers]

relax guys, nurk got us for sure

Gets no respect from refs

 

[Labinot41]

Good start

 

[Mr. Robot]

has nurk become stretch 5

maybe, i guess we need bigger sample size

 

[Cugel]

I am ok with Nurk taking a couple of wide open threes.

 

[Chris Craig]

Shitty foul calls
