Game Thread 2022-23 Game #5 BLAZERS VS HEAT - OCTOBER 26, 2022 - WEDNESDAY - 7:00 PM (PDT) ROOT

[Shaboid]

I expect to see a bit more zone tonight than in the first 4 games.

 

[wizenheimer]

A mobile, athletic '5' that can stretch the floor. Could cause Nurk some problems

Bam certainly doesn't stretch the floor with his shooting. He hasn't made a 3 since 2020 and has made only 7 in his career. He does have great handles though and he could get Nurk in foul trouble with dribble-drives

Miami , Shmiami. Heat, Shmeat. That's all I've got to say.

Fucking Waterworld. Haha

 

[THE HCP]

Green font?

You two are definitely on different ends of the Blazer fan scales.

He’s “you’ll believe me when you see it”.

You come across more “I want to see it first”

But I would never say…..”we just beat the suns who beat the warriors…..so we are the best team on earth and heading to the finals.” HA!

were not ready to watch nurk dominate adebayo

I can’t believe I’m actually responding to you. So according to your thinking…..Utah and the Spurs are better than Golden State, Denver and the CLippers. They finish ahead of them in the standings? So the Jazz would have the HCA against the Warriors THIS season? That’s what you are saying?

Those are all trash teams. I don’t care what they do to each other. Blazers on a higher level.

I'm not holding my breath about that one

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Have to wonder how things will go if we see Nurk in early foul trouble against a big who is going off. We’re bound to see it at some point.

Bam is legit. Somewhat under the radar. Butler gets more attention and focus.

Their 3 point shooters can be lethal too. Duncan Robinson and Tyler Herro.

Bam is overrated. Butler too inconsistent. When he scores 41, it’s noteworthy. When Dame scores 41, it’s just another day at the office.

 

[Idog1976]

OT, but I'm curious if you're watching the Bucks/Nets game hoping the Nets win so we are the sole undefeated team as I am. So, was it just me or was that not an EGREGIOUS push-off by Giannis on a smaller man. Nash was 110% correct. Cause uh, that's the worst push-off I've seen this entire season. Nash was absolutely right and now he's watching the locker room.

Total trash team

Did anybody say that?

 

[DDolla]

Let’s GO for Five!

 

[PHXBlazer1]

This should be another easy win at home

 

[Idog1976]

Nice pass by Nurk! Oh wait we aren't wearing white jerseys tonight, god awful pass.

 

[Idog1976]

Where was Nurk during that rebounding sequence?

 

[calvin natt]

Nurk never got into the paint during that Bam three point play

 

[Idog1976]

YUP!

 

[crandc]

Crap. NBA league pass showing only Miami broadcast. Last year they gave a choice.

Nurk scores ...

 

[Idog1976]

God I love Grant and Hart LOVE THEM!!!!!

 

[MickZagger]

This defense though

 

[Idog1976]

After a rough start, Nurk is playing well now credit to him. Hart though god damn I LOVE THAT GUY!

 

[DDolla]

Josh Hart make this team run

 

[crandc]

Too many offensive rebounds by Miami.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Nice to see Justice tonight

 

[Idog1976]

I've always enjoyed Miami's broadcast team personally.

 

[B-Roy]

Why is Nurk looking to pass when Lowry is on him? Just destroy the dude.
