Game Thread GAME# 2: BLAZERS @ PACERS - OCTOBER 20, 2017 - FRIDAY, 4:00 (PDT), NBCSNW

The two way improvement is amazing....I'm impressed with the team concept and chemistry....we're a pick your poison basketball team...bring em on..I'd go into battle with this team anyday!

Definite improvement in overall team defense. Having Davis back healthy is big for the 2nd unit and getting contributions from Pat off the bench gives them another weapon.

 

[GrandJury]

Very good road win. Chief was a monster, Pat and Turner were good off the bench....and for some posters, Dame was perfect and can't improve on anything ever and to even think of discussing it is "pathetic". There, is that homerish enough?

Lmao

 

[Strenuus]

And for people saying we are only doing well defensively because of bad teams... well, to that I say: We sucked defensively against them all those other times... credit where credit is due.

 

[DaLincolnJones]

Doesn't matter ... these are the types of games we would have played close or lost last season.

oh for sure, think of this team with out JN

 

[joeBlazers]

76ers tanking again ?

 

[joeBlazers]

Would you give Nurk the Max?

 

[Denny Crane]

< 100 is good defense.

 

[rotary111]

I can't wait to see Caleb and Zach in a week or two. They look better than their numbers suggest.

 

[Denny Crane]

Today is a good day to be a Blazers fan.

LOL, fuckin' perfect.

yep I will two and zero any day, no matter who we play

 

[Trackjack]

Postitive for night big game Aminu 16/16 back to back double rebounds. CJ big game shooting especially when we needed it in the 3rd. Turner lead the bench in scoring and Pat had another solid game. Dame shooting was off but he did have 7 Reb and 7 assist. Davis was big off the bench. Held another team under 100 points by stepping up in 2nd half on that end. Go Blazers!

 

[Mr. Robot]

Would you give Nurk the Max?

Id give him 4/48 or something

 

[DaLincolnJones]

Have to say that Turner is giving us more than I ever expected

 

[Denny Crane]

Aminu has really taken to the PF role so far. I'm sure Stotts liked what he saw in practice to start him.

 

[Trackjack]

I like how Stotts using the rookies 1 one half and other in the 2nd. This way there getting brought on slowly and there feet wet.

 

[HailBlazers]

Would you give Nurk the Max?

Well he is our Defense, so Yea you kinda have to.

 

[riverman]

There's just not a ball hog on the team...the ball movement is awesome...balanced scoring and team defense....if this keeps up, we're going to make some noise

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

16 rebounds is no joke. That's Rodman-esque.

fresh legs and a ton of fouls to give...a good thing

 

[theprunetang]

Yeah. Turner is a beast so far.

 

[riverman]

16 rebounds is no joke. That's Rodman-esque.

Chief and Big Ed may be the most bang for the buck in the league

 

[Denny Crane]

16 rebounds is no joke. That's Rodman-esque.

A week or two ago, a lot of us thought he was on the bubble. Maybe we'd start Biggie or even Zach at PF.

Two games is a small sample. I like it anyway.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Chief and Big Ed may be the most bang for the buck in the league

And Ed wants to stay. I hope we figure out how to keep him.

Please, someone take Meyers off our hands.

 

[SIeepwalker]

I'll say one thing:

Pat is doing some things out there that Crabbe wouldn't even attempt in his wildest dreams

 

[tlongII]

Meyers had a great game!

 

[SIeepwalker]

I'll say one other thing:

I love Calabro and Hurd, there are great.
All the posts hating on them for the dumbest littles things can go fuck themselves.

 

[theprunetang]

He simply is just a more skilled player than Crabbe.

 

[Denny Crane]

Nets are up by 4. Though Crabbe started, he's only played 22 minutes.

1-5, 7 points, 2 assists in 22 minutes.

I think he might be pouting. Or hurt.

Yea their doing well.. I especially like Hurd. He’s relatable to my generation
