Game Thread 2022-23 Game #6 - BLAZERS VS ROCKETS - OCTOBER 28, 2022 - FRIDAY - 7:00 PM (PDT) ROOT

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

I think Simons hasn’t scored in the 2nd half

He hasn’t until now.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Nurk dunks again!

He’s broken!

 

[MickZagger]

Houston kind of plays Stotts ball

 

[Idog1976]

Be still my heart, TWO Nurk dunks in the same game. SOMEBODY PINCH ME I MUST BE DREAMING!!!!

 

[wizenheimer]

is that two dunks for Nurk in a quarter?

 

[MickZagger]

Boban plays for the Rockets?

 

[illmatic99]

nurk with an absolutely massive game.

 

[OneSport3]

Overlooked early season development: Nurk’s improved free throw shooting. He’s shooting 83%.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Boban plays for the Rockets?

yeah I thought he was traded there right before last draft?

 

[blazerkor]

Nurk has absolutely played like the Bosnian Beast tonight. Sharpe let off the gas pedal on offense in the second half, really deferring to his teammates which I guess isn't the worst thing for a rookie. It would be worse if he was ball hogging and forcing shit but he needs to start realizing how dominant he can be if he's going to convince others of that.

 

[MickZagger]

Walker should be taking Little’s minutes at this point

I think Chauncey is giving Nas an opportunity to play back into the form that coach saw from him before his injury last season.

Edit: But don't get me wrong I don't think Chauncey has Nas closing out close games right now or anything.

 

[Idog1976]

You're not supposed to do that guys, but OK.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Billups ain’t gonna be happy there with that game-ending dunk.

 

[Quatro44]

Probably shouldn’t showboat there

 

[BigGameDamian]

Simons shouldn’t have made that pass.

 

[oldmangrouch]

TCOB game!

 

[riverman]

My post didn't register at the end of the game here...lag city

 

[riverman]

Got Ant jump started tonight again

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Best team in the WEST!!! Big game against Memphis on Wednesday!

 

[KSF-ERIC]

TCOB game!

What does that mean?

 

[julius]

I like how it appeared that Simons knew instantly he shouldn't have done that pass, and it even looked like he went over to say that to the rockets (albeit, that might be what I wanted to see).

It helped that Billups was giving him the stink eye.

it looks to me like he's changed his FT shooting stroke; it's much quicker and more compact

"Shaedon going to be a problem once he learn how to hoop." -Nurk

Blazers Uprise Postgame Show!
Blazers 125, Rockets 111
Sharpe gets his first NBA start and dazzles the crowd with multiple highlights. Nurk dominates inside. Ant has another crazy quarter. Good performances all around! Come talk about the game with us!

That’s good cuz Nurk gets fouled a lot.

 

[OneSport3]

Once Ant tightens up his handles…

 

[blazerkor]

Well, we handled one of the worst teams in the league. Ant and Nurk played how they're going to need to play against good teams in order for us to stay competitive. Shaedon needs to sustain his aggressiveness on offense throughout an entire game the way he did in the first half. Everyone else played their roles well. With Dame out I would like to see Jerami step up a little more and become a little more intent on scoring the ball. All of that said, I'll take the win. 5-1 BABY!!!

GO BLAZERS!!!

 

[blazerkor]

Yikes.

sometimes, the green font seems so obvious….

My bad... I should have considered that you don't say ridiculous shit like that. There are just some people in here that do and it knocks my sarcasm meter off a bit.
