Game Thread GAME # 2: TRAIL BLAZERS VS PHOENIX SUNS - OCTOBER 23, 2021 - SATURDAY, 7:00 PM, ROOT SPORTS, NBATV

We are not allowed to have nice things.

Some needs to burn some sage in Moda

won't matter...it's Oregon...they'll burn the wrong herb

Scary getting an immediate MRI. Hopefully an abundance of caution, or something like a sprain that he's out a few weeks but heals 100%

 

[B-Roy]

Last time Dame played 24 minutes or less: November 2015.

So pissed we wasted years with Nurk in drop coverage, he covers so much space and closes lanes.

Nurk couldn't play for over two years....you don't waste anything when you let a guy wear a suit and waive a flag....seriously...Nurk and Zach couldn't stay on the court....let's hope that's over now...Nurk played his best with Chief and Mo next to him...now he's getting back to that guy. I do think Roy Rogers is going to wake up the beast...Nurk looks a lot better with Dame and CJ playing defense and not leaving him or Enes on an island .......our guards defense lets Nurk play within his skillset...it's all connected...and Nurk needs fans...he didn't look the same playing in empty gyms during the lockdown seasons

the way it was described....Powell going immediately to the locker room....is kind of worrying. And any time it's a knee it's already worrying

 

[Phatguysrule]

Jarret Jack sighting!

Nice to see him coaching.

Did he ever figure out how to run a fast break?

WOOOOOW. For real?!

 

[Bingo Bango]

Ruthless stat padding by Brown.

He sure was jacking up the threes.

El-P - that’s your cue.

 

[Scalma]

Norm is fine, I see him in the video

 

[Freshtown]

Not out of the woods yet but good sign

 

[riverman]

Hope Norm just hyper extended his knee and nothing more....fingers crossed!

 

[riverman]

Not out of the woods yet but good sign

That's good news

 

[Scalma]

Assuming Powell misses some time, who starts? Hopefully Nas.

I didn't even know Jack was with Phoenix, but I saw his tutelage in action when one of the Suns players stepped out of bounds on a drive.

Me neither. But, I mean, as a player. Did he ever figure that out?

man I just looked up jacks numbers in Portland and they were a lot better than I remembered.

 

[Tince]

Congrats coach!

 

[Phatguysrule]

He wasn't bad at all, overall.

I just remember that if a team really wanted to shut us down they'd just pass the ball to Jack and let him try for a fast break.

Turnover every time.

Like, it seemed like if guys got stuck, they'd just try to turn it over to Jack.

 

[noknobs]

That was fucking great.

 

[James lamphear]

Just got done watching highlights the offense really look good. Defense did a good job majority of the time stop that mid range game of Phoenix. Still have some trouble with closing out on the corners and when rotating under the basket sometimes we end little small of protecting the rim. But very active and a great improvement. Solid win by the Blazers.

 

[twobullz]

Who had Greg Brown with the first Tech of the season for the Blazers?

 

[royo]

I love how this game put a blanket on Stotts fans here. I hope you can prepare to sleep now.
Little's high5ing the fan alone is a wind of change. Looks like we not gonna play 3 men rotation this year and I hope Billups is building proper team chemistry.
That was fun!

 

[DDolla]

Rest up Norm..

I love watching Ant and Little spreading their wings in real time.

Friend just texted
“ I’ll Zelle you your lucky ass winnings. But next time we go out I expect you to cook a masterpiece to pair with wines
That would make a sommelier cream himself. Fuck! Fuck!”

So he wants you to jizz in his food and wine? I mean, I am not one to judge.
