Game Thread GAME# 1: BLAZERS @ SUNS - OCTOBER 18, 2017 - WEDNESDAY, 7:00 (PDT), NBCSNW

Pat must have really worked on his ball handling. I talked to a Notre Dame fan who said when he joined the team he was terrible dribbling with off hand.

He was terrible at it when we got him.

 

[LJ Ginger]

Napier reminds me of current day Bayless

Except Shabazz has sick handles!

 

[The Professional Fan]

Dame gets to rest.

Not complaining just an observation. He’s had more minutes in the first half tonight then he probably had over the course of the first god knows how many games last year

 

[LuckyShot]

I'm liking Phoenix taking all these contested, out of rhythm 3s.

 

[Chris Craig]

Yeah our guys are playing great

 

[Sinobas]

I like the rebounding of this team 1 and done.

Another one

Help defense from the Blazers. What is this witchcraft?

 

[The Professional Fan]

NO MASK

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

 

[ripcityboy]

He was terrible at it when we got him.

Yeah. But I can't imagine how bad he was when he got to college.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Great entry pass from Nurk!

 

[BonesJones]

I just want to publicly apologize to Pat Connaughton for doubting him. Dude is for real!

Gonna wait to reserve judgement.

With Ed/Hark/Turner, playing in the high post extended opens up the game for the others.

 

[Chris Craig]

If CJ was playing, wed be up at 60

 

[Jade Falcon]

Nurk playing without his mask. Finally.

 

[LuckyShot]

Very nice defensive possession. Dame worked his ass off to deny Bledsoe.

I'd just like to see him used inside

 

[ripcityboy]

Dale Osbourne have a wrestling manager moment.

 

[Strenuus]

That was great D by harkless.

 

[Strenuus]

Nurk knew that was in instantly.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

There ya go Dame

 

[Sinobas]

Boom!

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Why is Dame still on the bench?

Are you telling Dame to leave the bench?!?

:MARIS61:

 

[Trackjack]

Dame for 3!

 

[LuckyShot]

LOL Dame... you asshole.

 

[DaLincolnJones]

there ya go big guy

 

[BrianFromWA]

Coach Osborne is Turnt Up!

 

[The Professional Fan]

I wasn't sure he was capable, but I always thought it was the best way he could get on the floor and contribute. Not fast enough to compete with top SGs off the dribble, but he's at least big enough to bully most PGs or shoot over them.

I like it.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Nurk likes that long two doesn't he..
