Game Thread 2022-23 Game #48 - BLAZERS VS JAZZ - JANUARY 25, 2023 - WEDNESDAY - 7:00 PM (PDT) ROOT

[Fairly-Hard]

Does he just not concentrate when he tries a layup? What is it? Is it just in his head?

 

[HailBlazers]

Really wish nurk made that, smart play

 

[julius]

I don't know who to blame but our defense is better.

I think it's a combo of things, but mostly it's a small and inexperienced bench.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Really wish nurk made that, smart play

Yeah it was. He drew his man out and made the right decision to back him into the paint. He had the advantage.

 

[B-Roy]

I like Chauncey just pulling Nurk when he strings together a few bad plays.

 

[Strenuus]

It's so weird how people were like "it's not Stotts, it's the roster", but now are like "it's not the roster, it's Billups"

It's because billups is the far superior coach and there's no other argument.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Cory is right. Nurk has been getting good position. Needs to make the shots is all. No reason the Blazers should go away from that. He will make them eventually.

 

[riverman]

Ant hit one!

 

[Strenuus]

I bet some of the posts are scorched earth LOL

not at the endgame...not even close but he's learning

Same with Ant.

 

[cdub503]

i havent fulllllly been paying attention to games last few games but is it me or does little seem like hes finally turning his leaf? seems very active on defense and making most of his open shots, only 1-3 for tonight but the past few nights seems like he was shooting at a decent clip.

 

[Strenuus]

not at the endgame...not even close but he's learning

End game he is even MORE superior.

Thanks for reminding me!

 

[Fairly-Hard]

So now Chauncey is just going with what Stotts decided to do. Outscore opponents.

 

[B-Roy]

Wow that is so close

 

[riverman]

NAS!!!!!!

 

[HailBlazers]

NAS!!!

 

[DDolla]

This is like the Spurs game. No team plays defense

 

[riverman]

End game he is even MORE superior.

Thanks for reminding me!

dream on

 

[TBpup]

Cory is right. Nurk has been getting good position. Needs to make the shots is all. No reason the Blazers should go away from that. He will make them eventually.

....yet he never has a high conversion rate. He is consistently one of the lower converting centers at the rim in the league.

 

[illmatic99]

Lucky we're shooting well.

Another bad Nurk night

 

[Strenuus]

47 point quarter.

If you gave up on the team, LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

 

[AldoTrapani]

I'm starting to like this Nassir Little

 

[OneSport3]

It's because billups is the far superior coach and there's no other argument.

Please come up with a new act. This one is stale.

 

[TBpup]

NAS!!!!!!

It's his SF spot now. Make the most of it.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Same with Ant.

Probably. I hope so anyway.

 

[Pinwheel1]

With Hart out and Nas back.....he will get his chance to start.

 

[TBpup]

Blazers are giving up 57% shooting from the field and 62% from '3'. It's tough to do that poorly if you are TRYING to tank.

 

[DUB]

Good comeback, amazing what happens when you play with intensity.

Dame is on fire, Grant is playing well, and our bench has contributed very well. Hart injured, and Nurk and Ant playing like trash.

 

[blazerkor]

Lucky we're shooting well.

Another bad Nurk night

At least right now we don't have to wonder what it is with him. He's obviously worried about the trade deadline.
