Game Thread GAME# 27: BLAZERS @ ROCKETS - DECEMBER 11, 2018 - TUESDAY, 5:00 PM, NBATV & NBCSNW

[BonesJones]

Curry's smart D on display there...

Hes been quicker laterally than that during his career. Gotta wonder about him being fully "back" athletically.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Why do we always play down to the opponent's level? Why can't we play at our own pace?

So frustrating.

So frustrating.

We were earlier.

I was taking about the D he played on the side a couple plays before pnr.

Look good there.

 

[BonesJones]

Switching will kill that and the our 2nd unit is an extremely switchable group offensively.

You beat switches me slipping/rejecting screens, using unexpected screens, as well as using multiple screens in one area. Were not doing any of that.

I am beginnibg to wonder if givibg him the year option was such a smart idea.

 

[Strenuus]

It makes me giggle when Harden complains about a foul that he routinely gets.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

CJ keeps ending up with Capela on him...take advantage of that shit

 

[BonesJones]

We gotta stop giving up straight line drives.

 

[BonesJones]

Huh?

 

[BonesJones]

Lane violation? Focus...

 

[BonesJones]

Tucker blew up Nurk....

 

[BonesJones]

They aren't calling anything... haha.

 

[BlazerBeav]

They call a lane violation, but Nurk getting fouled on the third free throw is missed.

 

[BonesJones]

Good quick skip pass Chief.

 

[ripcityboy]

Huh?

Doesn't he have a one year contract with the player option for a second?

 

[BonesJones]

Nurk is too far back on the pick n roll.

 

[BonesJones]

Doesn't he have a one year contract with the player option for a second?

Yes?

 

[BonesJones]

Enough dribble drive goddamn...

 

[JDC]

You beat switches me slipping/rejecting screens, using unexpected screens, as well as using multiple screens in one area. Were not doing any of that.

Sure, but to see all that in a regular season game on the road from a young, inexperienced and frankly not very talented group is asking a lot.

 

[ripcityboy]

I'll take it.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

NURK BEAST

 

[BonesJones]

Nurk got fouled like 3 times on that play.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Fuck CP3. Kill him, Nurk.

 

[BonesJones]

I love how much Nurk has improved his free throws.

 

[JDC]

I love how much Nurk has improved his free throws.

Holding that follow through has helped.

Lacked focus at the line in years past.

 

[BonesJones]

Sure, but to see all that in a regular season game from a young, inexperienced and frankly not very talented group is asking a lot.

What? We had a lineup in with Turner (9th season), Curry (5th season), Stauskas (5th season), Aminu (9th season), and Collins (2nd season).

That's such a weak excuse for poor coaching. It doesnt take talent to know how to move off the ball...

 

[James lamphear]

Defensely was pretty good that half. Aminu already 9 boards. Zach 5/5 I just think it takes time to get in the flow of the game. Because usually it the 2nd half he usually does better.

 

[ripcityboy]

They hit sixth threes that half. Funny, it felt like more.

 

[Scalma]

Well layman sure fumbled his chance. Now it’s currys again. If he continues to suck they should either commit to one of the rookies or make a trade.
