Game Thread GAME# 26: TIMBERWOLVES @ BLAZERS - DECEMBER 8, 2018 - SATURDAY, 7:00 PM, NBCSNW

That was a slugfest! Blazers prevail!

 

[LuckyShot]

@BonesJones where u at

Sick call out, bro.

 

[DDolla]

Now beat Houston and Memphis on the road

 

[DUB]

Woot!

 

[DollaBel]

Man thats a good win. That clutch 4th quarter shooting is a huge encouragement boost.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Do I have to correct you guys on Covington (ripcityboy I'm pretty sure I already said this to you when the trade happened to Minny)?

Covington career shooting:

fg% 40.1%

3p% 36.1%

Before this year his highest 3p% was 37.4. It's not like he is a creator either, most of his shots are off spot ups. I don't get why people say he's a good shooter.

Yes, he is a good defender for sure, no argument there (even though I think he's overrated in that department too).

Is 36% from 3 bad? Seems like its not that bad.

 

[Chris Craig]

Where'd you go @Rozay

 

[Scalma]

Undefeated since Layman got put in the rotation coincidence I think not.

But seriously, Harkless looked lively tonight. Hopefully that means he’s feeling better physically rather than just a mental I’ll play hard tonight kind of thing.

 

[crandc]

Guess they didn't find a way to lose after all.

Can I enjoy the win..... And second, I never gave a fuck about anything you had to say in the first place.

 

[riverman]

perfect end to the perfect day! life is good!

There are those who are better but there are those who are a bunch worse. 36% or better is pretty decent.

 

[Rozay]

Sick call out, bro.

Lol

 

[Rozay]

Where'd you go @Rozay

I’m here

 

[DDolla]

All tied up and Dame please don’t shoot that... WOW great shot.

 

[kjironman1]

That was a win they needed and they got it in a way that will help in a bunch of ways. Wins like that always help a teams morale.

 

[ripcityboy]

Thst's about the most hard fought win we've had all year.

 

[Rozay]

So ya happy you got this win? Ok then what?

Be happy with mediocrity because it’s the same shit every year

 

[SlyPokerDog]

How many Tunchi monikers have we banned?

I'm looking at you @Rozay.

Teams are reluctant to help off him and he shoots them at a high volume.

And yeah, he's overrated as an individual defender vs elite wings, but he's absolutely one of the elite team defenders in the league.

 

[Chris Craig]

I’m here

Just making sure

 

[DDolla]

Glad Evan Turnover not playing on closing time.

Better than never being happy. That's a tough way to live life.

 

[kjironman1]

It seems like he hits that shot in the last 40-50 seconds of a game about one in ten. But when he hits it? It sure looks good.

 

[Scalma]

Nurkic owns Towns btw. Always outplays him.

 

[Rozay]

What does life happiness have to do with this lol

It’s basketball dude

 

[ripcityboy]

Probably one of the best games Nurk's ever played on D. Maybe the best.

 

[kjironman1]

Exactly. Some people seem to forget to enjoys the good times.

 

[illmatic99]

[riverman]

Got to clean up the dumb turnovers....
