There was a possession against Denver where we had a double team on Aaron Gordon, with Eubanks fronting Gordon.
Jokic was trying to pass to Gordon and I didn't see how that could happen, but then Eubanks vanished from the play. I don't know where he went.
Jokic made the pass and Gordon scored.
Maybe Eubanks had too much energy to stay where he was supposed to be.

 

[Chris Craig]

Glad they went to commercial. Can enjoy the lead for a minute.

 

[illmatic99]

grant has had two absolutely abominable closeouts tonight and we haven't been burned for either

 

[blazerfan11]

What did Nurkic drink at halftime?

He came to help against Jokic, leaving Gordon open.

Dame 1-8 and decides a pull up 35'er on the break is the best shot for the team? Okay.....just doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

Especially when Grant is on FIRE!!!

He’s the most efficient 30+ ft 3 point shooter in NBA history.

 

[Chris Craig]

What did Nurkic drink at halftime?

Ate some Wheaties

 

[BlazerBeav]

As usual, Nurk is the key. Comes out of half playing hard and it’s 11-3 us.

dame was wide open. that's a good shot

He's streaky though. A star should be consistent.

so dame is not a star. got it.

you have some hilarious takes in game threads.

 

[illmatic99]

can calabro stop calling Hayward, "Gordy?"

just cuz he went to butler and is from indy, kevin thinks he knows him.

Fine. If you want Dame who is now 2-10 jacking up 35'ers when Grant (who is now 8-10) is on a ridiculous heater, then we have a different idea of how winning basketball should be played.

No worries....will just agree to disagree.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Gotta give Nurk credit. He came out playing hard!

 

[blazerkor]

It's nice that we have the lead right now despite Dame being ice cold.

 

[illmatic99]

nurk is ballin

 

[blazerfan11]

Nurk is on a heater too

 

[Cugel]

I'll have whatever Nurk was having...
What a quarter so far...
Pure speculation but I think Nurk thrives with positive feedback and lots of it.

 

[TBpup]

Team shooting over 60% so far w/o Dame. Nice to see them picking him up. He carries them on plenty of nights.

 

[MickZagger]

I swear Plumlee was right handed when he was with us.

 

[illmatic99]

here comes the bench

 

[illmatic99]

I swear Plumlee was right handed when he was with us.

he's been trying this lefty thing this year with decent success

 

[blazerfan11]

Was Nurk fever Nurk this good? I don't think so.
Edit : didn't have the 3-point shot then.

 

[DDolla]

If only Nurk plays like this every game

 

[BlazerBeav]

Nurkic is dominating this quarter. Just crushing it. Could’ve been doing this from the start.

 

[blazerkor]

When Nurk from three is better than Dame from three?!?

 

[wizenheimer]

Bosnian Beast makes an appearance!!

 

[Chris Craig]

Dame can't make a three

Nurk can't miss a three

What the fuck is going on?

 

[Cugel]

watching on espn gamecast and it's nurkic nurkic nurkic

 

[BigGameDamian]

Nurkic has it on automatic!
