Game Thread GAME# 28: BLAZERS @ MAGIC - DECEMBER 15, 2017 - FRIDAY, 4:00 PM (PST), NBCSNW

[BonesJones]

Aminu with a dumb foul. Simmons was stuck under the hoop.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Wow, the Blazers are terrible at tanking.

 

[BonesJones]

Nurk what the fuck is that.

 

[BonesJones]

Nurk's float passes are getting annoying.

 

[riverman]

Chief has an enormous wingspan...his standing reach is as long as Vonleh or Nurk's

 

[GrandJury]

Man I can totally see why Denver gave up on Nurk

He’s not all there

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Was that a fast break? By the Blazers?!?

Hello my old friend, it's been a long time.

 

[The Professional Fan]

Nurks inbound pass was a fineable offense

 

[GrandJury]

Nurk's float passes are getting annoying.

Man!

He just doesn’t seem focused out there. He’s hella wild. His post moves are wild. The way he passes sometimes are wild. He’s very turnover prone..

I really thought he was going to be nice this year

 

[BonesJones]

Vucevic would be so good off the bench in Portland at the PF...the dude is a Stotts like player if there ever was one.....

He's not a PF... He can barely hang with Cs. Too slow for PF and he wouldn't have space in the low post next to Davis. Has also been unhappy coming off the bench in the past.

 

[riverman]

Florida NBA home crowds are anemic at best...lifeless

It could be that are could just be because he's still very young.

Dirk.....compare them ....both seven footers who stretch the floor...I think they're similar

 

[H.C.]

Nurk is getting predictable on that pass to the corner.

I think this is prolly my biggest issue with coaching right now.
Nurk in corner and side pick and rolls looks so much more comfortable when he has to make decisions imo.

No one puts Nurky in a corner!

 

[riverman]

Good guys win!!! Solid road win!

 

[DUB]

Nice ground out win.

Credit to the Magic, they didn't give up, and pushed us to the end.

 

[H.C.]

wow. Lillard pulled a Felton. Hopefully he doesn't get fat like him next.

 

[KingSpeed]

We've won 5 of our last 6 road games. Crazy impressive.

 

[H.C.]

I'll put you in the corner with denny.

These are the games that keep me enjoying the NBA....I hate blowouts unless it's against the Lakers

 

[Pinwheel1]

I am 100% certain Nurk will get better, but right now his mental mistakes are driving me crazy. As I said two months ago....he thinks he is a better passer then he actually is. Trying for the spectator pass way too often.

 

[Mr. Robot]

imagine playing all games away... TOP 3 seed hands down

I agree, however if his teammates could move a little better...

 

[DUB]

Plenty of vegan options.

but so did James Harden at 23 and look at him now....Nurk's way ahead of the big man curve in the modern NBA

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I'll put you in the corner with denny.

I've met you.

I could take you.

Easily.

 

[KingSpeed]

We have the 5th best road record in the NBA (3rd in West).

 

[SlyPokerDog]

wow. Lillard pulled a Felton. Hopefully he doesn't get fat like him next.

Lillard wears the letter O. Felton was the letter O.

 

[Scalma]

Nurkic was obviously gassed in the fourth.

And why the fuck was Collins taken out Just as he was getting into a rhythm
