Nurk making jumpers like LaJusef Nurkridge

 

[LuckyShot]

Nurk is owning the paint on defense.

 

[Strenuus]

Seeing him make it from that deep is still awe-inspiring.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Such a better basketball team with a legit center. God bless Nurk.

 

[LuckyShot]

Nurk likes that long two doesn't he..

I'd actually rather have him take those than 3s at the moment. His 3 ball does not look comfortable at all.

 

[ripcityboy]

Every time I see Chandler I see a painting of Persian King Cyrus. That beard is seriously fucking with me.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

No Meyers tonight?

 

[BrianFromWA]

I'd just like to see him used inside

I think he will be with Dame/CJ/Collins (or Leonard)

 

[Sinobas]

I'm concerned about Nurkic on offense so far, he has been out at the 3pt line more often than not.

I think it's the matchup, Chandler is one of the best low post defenders in the league.

Nurk making jumpers like LaJusef Nurkridge

 

[KingSpeed]

No Meyers tonight?

4th quarter when we're up 30

 

[GrandJury]

Pat is killin.. but I’m def going to need a larger sample size from him before I say he’s good

 

[BigGameDamian]

Nurk likes that long two doesn't he..

Is he falling in love with it?

 

[Jade Falcon]

No Meyers tonight?

Who?

Nurk turns into Shaq Jr. without that mask.

 

[BonesJones]

I think the Blazers are establishing a "play physical, don't worry about fouling" defensive mindset and I love it. Worrying about fouling leads to easier buckets witch gets players going, and let's them be comfortable.

 

[BrianFromWA]

great transition D there.

 

[ripcityboy]

I literally want to cry when I watch this defense. Def having my own Mr. Holland's Opus moment now!

 

[BrianFromWA]

that's a 3

 

[DaLincolnJones]

damn it, now I want a pizza

 

[Sinobas]

Nice block by Hark!

 

[LuckyShot]

I fucking love Moe.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Moe is straight bodying the rook lmao

 

[Darkwebs]

Harkless? More like Harkmore!!!

 

[BlazerBeav]

WE PLAY DEFENSE!

 

[Five Second Violation]

Harkless for president!!

 

[Trackjack]

What a block Harkless!

 

[The Professional Fan]

I WANT TO BE THE BAD BOYS SO FUCKING BAD

 

[Cippy91]

This defense>>>>

 

[Sinobas]

Blazers D has looked really good this game, great rebounding.

 

[DaLincolnJones]
