Game Thread Game #26 - BLAZERS @ GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS - DECEMBER 8, 2021 - WEDNESDAY - 7:00 PM (PDT) ESPN

[riverman]

Elleby actually has a motor like Wes used to have...he's active but Nas is looking awesome....Norm has missed a lot of easy buckets though. Nas is going to be an allstar one day...

 

[Scalma]

I’m starting to think CJ had something to do with our dogshit defense, idk tho!

 

[illmatic99]

Time for Nassir little to pretend he's Jimmy Butler on offense. Go for it if there is an opening. He doesn't need to pass it.

Norms shot is off tonight. Jimmy butler is a terrific comp fyi

 

[James lamphear]

Really good performance by Little 5-5 from the field 2-2 from the 3 and 6-10 at the free throw line 6 rebounds 1assit and 1 block. We only down by 2 the coach has to be happy. The warriors I think to much trying get Curry breaking the record instead going out and play ball.

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

Hell of an effort in the first half...now we need to withstand the 3rd qtr the Warriors love to beast in.

They're playing hard.
GS not shooting well, refs giving us mercy calls.
I say we declare victory now and hide our eyes in the 2nd half.

 

[riverman]

I don't hold my breath against the Warriors...they can put up a ton of points in minutes...still proud of the effort so far

 

[James lamphear]

Have our guards ever heard of a repost?

Is also up to our bigs to repost there self and ask for the ball.

 

[GDiama]

Can we please keep Little starting and move Powell to SG when Dame is back and as long as CJ is out? I m really intrigued to see that.

 

[blazerfan11]

I dont wanna trade away nassir. He brings exactly what this team desperately needs

He might even be better than what he's showing so far.

 

[blazerfan11]

Is also up to our bigs to repost there self and ask for the ball.

Yeah but they have to have teammates who will throw them back the ball totally agree. They don't have to force a bad shot up the first time throw it out and get it back in.

 

[James lamphear]

Roco minus 10, Nance plus 8. And here is a surprise: Elleby plus 7 in four minutes, no turnovers made his one shot, a three and pulled down a really tough rebound.

Don't get caught up in plus and minus because Nance didn't set the world on fire out there.

 

[PCmor7]

I wonder if there's a move to be made that sends CJ, Nurk and RoCo out for a positive addition while Ant and Nas stay and get increased run.

I celebrate winning qtrs just in case every game...small victories...if we keep them under 70 in the first half we always have a chance

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I'm going to bed while we're ahead by being not too much behind.

Not before noting this gem, though:

Truly Elleby's finest hour!

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Don't get caught up in plus and minus because Nance didn't set the world on fire out there.

I wouldn't say I am caught up in it; I think consistently Nance is on the plus side and Roco on the minus side.

Truly Elleby's finest hour!

I think he was a little nervous last time when they made him be a PG, which is odd because at Washington State he was the main ball handler. But even there he had a better year when he didn't have to run point the year before.

 

[illmatic99]

Seriously bench Covington. Brown is better right now

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I think Smith is just not confident making that lead pass to Naz.

 

[blazerfan11]

Dennis Smith Jr. seems to have no idea to pass the ball up the court or towards the hoop to Nassir little.

 

[blazerfan11]

Smith Jr is good going to the hoop when there isn't a crowd.

 

[LayneStaley]

I kinda wish we still had Trent instead of Norm.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Just no outside shooters. Can’t beat them without that.

 

[illmatic99]

Fuck you universe. Nas hurt

 

[James lamphear]

I think little just reinjured his ankle.

 

[MickZagger]

I dont wanna trade away nassir. He brings exactly what this team desperately needs

Yup. I value him way more than I do Simons

 

[FlashWad]

Regardless of what happens this game Little had proven he can be the future of our team.

 

[blazerfan11]

Don't teams do alley oops anymore? Looks like Little could just cut down the baseline almost anytime.

 

[illmatic99]

I think little just reinjured his ankle.

Think its that same knee he hyperextended

 

[James lamphear]

I wouldn't say I am caught up in it; I think consistently Nance is on the plus side and Roco on the minus side.

Show you what unit playing better.

 

[LayneStaley]

He can’t be the future if he can’t stay healthy, we don’t deserve that shit

 

[riverman]

crap...Nas is limping to the locker room
