Game Thread GAME# 20: CLIPPERS @ BLAZERS - NOVEMBER 25, 2018 - SUNDAY, 6:00 PM, NBCSNW

[BonesJones]

Gave up a wide open 3 and Stotts called a timeout.
Isn't this what some people have been calling for?

Yup. We never get a good shot out of timeouts though haha.

 

[BonesJones]

Two terrible possessions.

 

[BonesJones]

Probably not a great possession if it ends with a nurkic step back 3 pointer lol.

In a couple years I think Nurk could shoot a 35% clip. Not yet though haha.

 

[H.C.]

Good help CJ.
Foul or not, that's staying connected and an extra effort play.

 

[BonesJones]

Three straight tough 3s. SMH.

 

[Strenuus]

LOL CJ giving the ref a slap on the butt. Respect.

 

[beast blazer]

Would be cool if nurk developed a 3pt shot

 

[Chris Craig]

Good foul CJ

 

[LuckyShot]

Missed the first half. How we lookin?

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Would be cool if nurk developed a 3pt shot

I think if he becomes an elite C it will because he develops his jump shot, even if it's not the 3 pointer, if he can get other teams bigs to respect his range that's going to open up so much space for them.

 

[Chris Craig]

Would be cool if nurk developed a 3pt shot

Before he started shooting them in games

 

[swish3]

Meyers has been open twice with the ball and hasn't even looked at the rim. "The coaches need to assign him six 3pt attempts a half!" lol.

Yes. That is just what should we should be seeing. With his swish3 accuracy, Meyers should be contributing at least 9 points via swish3s per half. The coaches need to prioritize Meyers swish3 shooting, which does not appear to be happening. Please stop Nurk from squandering these shots instead of having Meyers pour them in.

 

[BonesJones]

Good help CJ.
Foul or not, that's staying connected and an extra effort play.

Yup. Saved a point. I just wish he and Dame were better at getting through the screen and recovering in front of the ball. They'd be average defenders if they could do that.

 

[Chris Craig]

Missed the first half. How we lookin?

Like we are going win

 

[Titan]

Dame!

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Nice efficient half for the Blazers, it's about time.

 

[trailblazer18]

Nice half. The bench played inspired and showed great energy.

 

[BonesJones]

When we make a bunch of jumpshots it's kinda like putting makeup on a pig.

 

[Strenuus]

Yes. That is just what should we should be seeing. With his swish3 accuracy, Meyers should be contributing at least 9 points via swish3s per half. The coaches need to prioritize Meyers swish3 shooting, which does not appear to be happening. Please stop Nurk from squandering these shots instead of having Meyers pour them in.

Meyers had two other wide open 3's that he passed up. Sooo...

Also, Nurk and Meyers haven't played together today... so that point is moot.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Where the hell would this team be without Dame?

 

[James lamphear]

The difference in the 1st was our 2nd unit that extent the league for the 1st unit.

 

[H.C.]

Nurk had a wrap on his shoulder when he came out of the game for his first sub out.
Went back in the game and seemed fine, but I wonder if he pulled/strained the muscle on that missed dunk.

 

[H.C.]

Where the hell would this team be without Dame?

Where would the Lakers be without LeBron?

 

[BonesJones]

Yes. That is just what should we should be seeing. With his swish3 accuracy, Meyers should be contributing at least 9 points via swish3s per half. The coaches need to prioritize Meyers swish3 shooting, which does not appear to be happening. Please stop Nurk from squandering these shots instead of having Meyers pour them in.

Meyers is passing up open 3s even though his coach, teammates, and everyone in the stadium wants him to shoot it! So why are you blaming the coaching for that? You're issue should be with Meyers for not shooting when he's open, not coaching.

 

[H.C.]

Like we are going win

JinxCraig.

 

[Chris Craig]

13 pt lead at halftime. Nice. Good job stopping the Clippers from going on a deep run to end the half. Gotta pick it up to start the third. Clippers are going to look to attack and get back. Blazers are famous for giving up leads. Build this one into the 2nd half. We got this.

 

[Strenuus]

Where the hell would this team be without Dame?

 

[Scalma]

im so all over the place with meyers.
literally hated on him so hard, now he's finally doing close to everything ive been asking for and i find myself giving him some props, then he gotta go douche around with a giant hammer.

its like he knows he's been playing good and is legit flexing as if the last 4-5 years never happened.

im in a state of confusion.

He’s like the guy in a group project that doesn’t show up until the day before the presentation but takes the credit anyway.

 

[BonesJones]

Where the hell would this team be without Dame?

Where would the Rockets be without Harden?
Where would the Bucks be without Giannis?
Where would the Lakers be without LeBron?
Where would the Raptors be without Kawhi?

You can play this game with any superstar and their team, except for the Warriors.

Shhhh... that's logic!
