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

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

Please, someone take Meyers off our hands.

Meyers....the only DNP.

 

[Denny Crane]

There's little continuity in the announcing staff. They'll become real homers (they can't help it!) and they'll be loved.

Olshey will trade Meyers for a first round pick he's saving his best for last.

 

[Denny Crane]

Once again, the Blazers were great. The instant replays, not so much.

 

[HailBlazers]

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.

Man BKN loves us. Thanks again guys!!! Big Solid.

 

[riverman]

Meyers is the end of the bench and when he's come in he's gotten about a rebound a minute....I've got no complaints...even Meyers is better this season

A shout out to @HCP?

 

[theprunetang]

Turner is playing up to his contract right now. And my boy Chili P is a great glue guy.

A shout out to @HCP?

His #64wins is looking pretty good to me right now.

This is the worst game we've seen from Nurk 4-13, 6 turnovers, 2 rebounds, vs a team without a real center.

It feels a little like he spent the summer reading the hype....Like the guy to have confidence, but prefer him playing with something to prove.

 

[Mediocre Man]

It will be intetesting to see how good....or bad, Indy is this year.

Either way, Portland playing well defensively.

Great start

 

[tlongII]

Nurk had a bad game, but he still impacted the game positively. Just his presence is a weapon for us.

Indy will lose a lot of games, but they do have Leaf to be excited about. Pritchard is a fucking idiot for trading PG for a 20+ mil a year Oladipo and underwhelming Sabonis.

Especially when he had better offers. Kevin Prtichlapped himself.

I still say Nurk is too casual with his play. He can't get cocky because of one good month. His passes need to be more text book, stop with the no looks. I am fine with him shooting the ball, but not when he throws the ball at the basket. The refs are not his ally which does not help.

 

[Darkwebs]

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

Yeah, let's just hope they bang the Bucks tomorrow night.

[SportsAndWhine]

Aminu has been key in both games; he was a +27, which for a 16-point win is really something.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Our guards kicked ass tonight. CJ shows why he is so important to this team.
ET is playing like I thought he would.....he is very valuable to this team. Not sure why people don't appreciate his post up game. We need it
Dame is Dame and Pat......WTF is up with him. He is coming up huge.

Aminu also played very well again. Nurk and Hark did not.

What I said about Aminu last year I now say about Harkless.....please try not to put the ball on the floor.

[theprunetang]

I know it has only been 2 games, but does anyone still want to argue with me about Pat (Chili P) being able to replace Crabbe in the lineup?

Patty Baseball looks like Rex Chapman out there

 

[Trackjack]

Another plus Dame only play 33 minutes and CJ had 32 minutes and Nurk had 26.

18 point win but yes Aminu is Awesome

 

[SportsAndWhine]

18 point win but yes Aminu is Awesome

Sorry yes 18

 

[HailBlazers]

18 point win but yes Aminu is Awesome

Better than Batum

 

[theprunetang]

I'm going to have to give coach Nate some props. He has his team playing hard. Their effort was night and day compared to Phoenix. Plus, he has his guys running in transition, which is Taylor made for his squad. Pritchard gets zero props for putting the roster together and fucking up the PG13 trade beyond all recognition.

 

[tlongII]

Look I know CJ, ET, and Dame played well. But we out rebounded them 51-39. That is why we’re killing teams.

True Davis and Aminu came up huge. But CJ and Dame also had 7 each
(Nurk and Hark combined for 5)

Yes, but it’s all a factor of how strong we are inside.

 

[THE HCP]

@HCP
Any idea of when the players come down to warm up? We are way up in the nosebleeds as I'm going in a group of 6. Wanted to come see the guys up close before the game if possible.

Hey man, sorry I just saw this. I'm never on here on game days. Hope you had fun at the game.
