Game Thread GAME# 20: BLAZERS @ WIZARDS - NOVEMBER 25, 2017 - SATURDAY, 4:00 PM (PST), NBCSNW

[Cippy91]

Bye Harkless.

Honestly I can see him being traded by deadline with aminu coming back he can fill harkless place while contributing more on offense. With pat stepping up, there is no reason to keep harkless. I like pat out there anyway, at least you know he can shoot

 

[Gronk Brady]

I really like Pat at SF... he played PF in college so he is used to guarding bigger players. He is a glue guy... plays very smart. Hope Stotts keeps him as a starter

 

[BonesJones]

I'm not sure anyone will want to return him here. I say let him roam free.

 

[Sinobas]

Beavers following the Blazers on the comeback trail, so far holding the Ducks to only 3 pts in the 2nd half!

Hollins got a pic 6 just as you posted that.

 

[KingSpeed]

Win these next two so my 17-5 prediction is as accurate as HCPs 11-11.

If we just beat BKN and SAC we'd be 14-6. Ugh.

And if Blake Griffin....

I don't. Porter was getting extremely easy shots over him all game. Pat against Durant/Lebron/George would be a travesty.

We need to trade for Gallinari.

 

[Cippy91]

Looking at the wizards fans subreddit on this game. They don’t understand why Otto didn’t get looks in crunch time especially with dame on him. I didn’t even notice that, was too busy losing my mind over what was happening in the game

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Yes but the Beavers defense has still held the Ducks offense to only 3pts in the 2nd half.

 

[BBert]

It's possible that rumors of the Trail Blazers demise may have been greatly exaggerated.

How can they look so bad, and so good, from night to night, and even in the same game?

 

[KingSpeed]

We need to trade for Gallinari.

Gallinari can't guard LeBron either. We got Aminu for those guys.

Yeah, he's just not the answer though. The sooner we make a trade, the better.

Bye Harkless.

and he wonders why he doesnt get the ball more often

 

[BonesJones]

Gallinari can't guard LeBron either. We got Aminu for those guys.

He'd do a better job than Pat, he's 5 inches taller.

I like an Aminu/Gallinari forward combo because you can put Aminu (6'9) on the best forward and Gallinari (6'10) on the worst forward. They're switchable. You can't do that with Connaughton at SF.

that would be great excuse for Olshey not to bring SF

 

[Trackjack]

Positive the whole 1st unit put something in that last 9 minutes of the game. Nurk didn't shoot well but still had 17/5/4/3 and only 1 turnover. Dame had 29/6/6 and CJ 26 and Pat came up with 12. Neg. 16 turnovers for 25 points.

Turnovers and missed FTs absolutely kill me.

 

[Mr. Robot]

Nurk sent Mahinmi straight to Africa
how about lockdown defense in the 4th quarter

 

[theprunetang]

Pat played a good game. He lacks height against a guy like Porter. That's not really his fault. Because of that, he is not long term answer at SF. But, he is a great glue guy who does a bit of everything on the floor.

With THAT said, anyone discounting what Chili P did in tonight's game to help the Blazers win is taking crazy pills.

Nurk started great with 4/5 shooting, couple assists and rbds, but then went 1-8 in the 1st half and then two consecutive misses in the 2nd half for 1-10 shooting, but after that he played great on both ends of the floor

without his defense and CJ offense, this would be a sure loss

 

[Cippy91]

Nurk went on a little run when he came back in, then dame went on a run with the floater and the and one, the jumper. Then it was cj with the three followed by the layup and contested jumper

 

[e_blazer]

Only 16 points by the bench tonight, half of them by Ed Davis. Other than Ed, one basket by Turner and one by Harkless. Man, that sucks. The Wizards’ bench scored 27.

why are you not mentioning Nurk lockdown defense
you hater, you dont even deserve to watch Nurk

you deserve Kendrick Perkins

Most improved without a doubt. It's amazing Project Pat has become an actual NBA rotational player. Look at that stat line:

12PTS 4REB 3AST 2 STL 1BLK 4/7FG

With stellar defense.

Lol what? Yeah he had the two blocks my bad

 

[tlongII]

Great win. We simply must stop turning it over so much though.

 

[SIeepwalker]

Why is everybody saying Pat had stellar defense....? I mean I recall some good defensive plays through the game, but in the 4th Beal got so many wide open look with Pat just dying on a screen.... We got lucky he missed a lot of those

luck has nothing to do with it, its Pat C magic, he charmed him

His defense is sneaky got his opponents shook that they’re being guarded by a ymca talent.

I'm sorry but Pats defense in the 4th was awful. Idk about the rest of the game, but down the stretch it wasn't good.
