Game Thread GAME# 17: BLAZERS @ GRIZZLIES - NOVEMBER 20, 2017 - MONDAY, 5:00 (PST), NBCSNW

[Trackjack]

Positive rebounding 60-35 now really good. Only 7 turnover in the 2nd that was better. MVP of the Vonleh 11 points 18 rebounds 3 block shots. He seems he getting more confidence on the offense. Neg. we shot under 40 percent from the field. We did get 30 from the but only 5 in the second half. Turner shooting woes continue.

this game showed how good Nurk can get... when he learns to control his shots, hell be a force on offense

 

[LuckyShot]

Wow. They shot twice as many 3s as we did.

 

[Darkwebs]

Turner was 0/6 from the field. He had the highest +/- with a positive 16.

We need a big man coach. He looks like a Wacky Inflatable Tube Man out there!

I think he shared the court with Shabazz. I'm loving Bazz. He's like... Dame-Lite.

 

[Optimistic Bob]

Awesome !!

 

[Boise Blazer]

Makes me sad that there are actually Blazers fans that don't want Lillard on this team. Can't wrap my head around that...

or he needs to hire personal coach... I dont think hell learn it by himself

 

[rotary111]

I blame Vonleh for our poor start this season. The kid is a freakin beast!

fuck them, those are retards

 

[BlazerBeav]

Had to get that win, and they did - so happy day!

 

[ripcityboy]

Seriously, Nurk needs to find a shot selection he is comfortable with. You want to take the weight of because of injuries FINE but he's got to be comfortable with his game. You have to teach him to be effective running certain plays. Right now he's all over the place.

 

[Mr. Robot]

4th seed, were coming

 

[BrunoSOC]

This road trip is going be bad

1-0

 

[riverman]

Hello Noah Vonleh.....good to see you back!

 

[GrandJury]

Waiting in line behind the Lillard haters to bang your mom.

That wouldn’t be nice!

 

[ripcityboy]

Still want to see Meyers bump it up a notch. Want to see mote back peddling on this board and then take a bunch of screen shots. Then make some signatures that I will treasure forever!

 

[theprunetang]

That was a good grind it out victory. We out-Grizzlied the Grizzlies.

 

[Haakzilla]

...awesome to get the W, but 11 total team assists is embarrassing though

 

[BrunoSOC]

Game against Them is ugly to see.

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

It was fascinating to have a visit from alternate-universe Meyers.

 

[GrandJury]

Great win today with no conley that would suck to lose this game. Clearly if he played Memphis looked like they could have easily won this

Honestly Vonleh has been really good this year. He’s def has improved and that’s exciting

Props to Meyers but he hasn’t looked bad this year. That’s not saying much but for Meyers that’s huge lol

Dame is one tough MFer and I never question that and his leadership. I just want his percentages to be respectable is that asking for much? Idk why ppl kill me for asking that

Cj is filthy

Next on: To Philly

Vonleh is going to keep getting better too. If they want to make a trade they need to figure out who they want to keep long term at PF. I really would love to have Vonleh and Collins long term.

Meyers is looking much better too. Now that he is not only shooting 3's. Raising his trade value at least.

Harkless and Swanigan might be decent trade pieces for another shooter at SF. Certainly not for a star but for a young player who is an odd man out on their own team.

 

[joeBlazers]

First, I didn't watch the game.
But, how about E.T. Tonight? 20 minutes, 0 points. Why do we pay this guy? It is just embarrassing. And Mo ? 4 points? Can we just get more from the SF position?
Time for M.L. to start at center? I mean ... Nurkic has forgotten how to play? I thought this guy could give us 20/10 consistently. Oh well ... Zach/Ed/M.L. are the future at center.
Caleb is not playing, but he has lid fire under Noah's behind. Vonleh has been obsessed in a good way lately. Is this a contract year for him? If he doesn't ball, Caleb will eat his lunch.

You never say. “Wow I wish dames percentages were better”. It’s always some weird hateful comment towards him. Yeah we all wish his percentages were up but he still impacts the game and puts up numbers. We know his percentages are better than that, that’s why nobody is tripping 17 games into an 82 game season.

You are right. You did not watch the game.

I’m afraid nurkic will get bodied by embiid. Also not sure if we have an answer for Ben Simmons. Guess we will see. Dame wants to play but won’t be 100 percent. Nurk will be fine, just needs to slow down, I guess with time he will learn it. Need more out of harkless and turner. Need aminu back as well
