Game Thread 2022-23 Game #34 - BLAZERS VS HORNETS - DECEMBER 26, 2022 - MONDAY - 7:00 PM (PDT) ROOT

[julius]

As MB used to say, the first game back after a long road trip sure feels like they've gained 15 pounds of muscle and are still on the road.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

What happened to Nurk’s rim protection? He’s not even trying.

 

[DDolla]

We will get blown out by the Warriors come Friday night with or without Steph

 

[illmatic99]

0 resistence. we aren't taking anything away from them.

 

[AldoTrapani]

He's still around....he's @KSF-ERIC now.

Ohhh ok I was wondering what the hell happened to that optimistic Homer lol

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Nurk's third TO and all bad.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Well you see what I mean about this team. It’s not very good guys.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

lmao i thought the same. think the 30 is a trick response to trip up people

I meant Calabro by the way

 

[illmatic99]

What happened to Nurk’s rim protection? He’s not even trying.

guards doing a terrible job of keeping guys in front of them. they're getting so many attempts

 

[Chris Craig]

Hilarious poll. The answer can’t be 30. He only plays 29 teams. Does Calabro not know this?

Is the poll for one season?

 

[AldoTrapani]

Nurk's third TO and all bad.

He thinks he’s Jokic lol

He’s beyond annoying

 

[Cugel]

I guess Dame is injured again?

 

[B-Roy]

It feels like Hart needs to play 48 mpg or we sometimes have no one on the floor that gives a shit.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Is the poll for one season?

For all time. How many teams has he scored 30 against? The answer is probably 29.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

The only way I can feel good about our play is if I tell myself we're tanking on purpose

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Just stop trying to pass it to Nurk!

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Kelly Oubre has the most punchable face in basketball

 

[KSF-ERIC]

guards doing a terrible job of keeping guys in front of them. they're getting so many attempts

If Nurk was guarding rim, would it matter if guards were blowing by on our guards? Guards on Gobert teams sometimes let guards blow by them by design. A challenged 2 at the rim instead of a 3. Nurk isn’t challenging anyone.

 

[Chris Craig]

This is embarrassing

 

[julius]

This is embarrassing

For more of the season than it should be, tho, this has been par for the course.

 

[MickZagger]

We’re way too guard oriented.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

The only way I can feel good about our play is if I tell myself we're tanking on purpose

We’ll be better when Nas comes back.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Last 5 mins of the second quarter. Time for them to start playing hard and catch back up or maybe even take the lead.
We seem to see this game after game.

 

[Chris Craig]

For all time. How many teams has he scored 30 against? The answer is probably 29.

He hasn't played against all 30 teams? It's probably not 30, but it's possible.

 

[julius]

I don't know if it's the coaching, the roster, or whatever, but this season is going no where now.

 

[Chris Craig]

The only way I can feel good about our play is if I tell myself we're tanking on purpose

I was thinking the same thing.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

He hasn't played against all 30 teams? It's probably not 30, but it's possible.

Dude. He’s on one of the 30 teams. He’s never scored 30 against the Blazers.

 

[julius]

Man, if Simons wasn't scoring like he is, this game would be even uglier.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

I do understand Nurk is bigger and has more talent but Eubanks plays so much harder than Nurk ever does. Why?

 

[Cugel]

Chauncey has to start being held accountable for at least some of this garbage. IMHO he is average at best. Plenty of new coaches can win.
