Game Thread GAME# 29: RAPTORS @ BLAZERS - DECEMBER 14, 2018 - FRIDAY, 7:00 PM, NBCSNW

[Labinot41]

Nurkic is so Soft. Sooo Soft for a 7'0 260 pounds guy

 

[Strenuus]

Kawhi is gonna go off in the 2nd half.

GL to us.

 

[BlazerBeav]

What a horseshit call on CJ and then they swallow the whistles as Nurk gets fouled at the rim.

 

[KingSpeed]

Kawhi is gonna go off in the 2nd half.

GL to us.

We have him locked up.

 

[illmatic99]

Nurkic is 3 for 35 tonight and last game. Holy shit shit

 

[Chris Craig]

Good lead at half. 3rd quarter will tell the story. Kawhi is waiting to go off and Siakam is a bastard.

 

[Labinot41]

Nurk going 1 for 11 is CJ shooting for Nurk?

Yep last Game 1/15 and now 2/10... for a CENTER, how the fuck is that possible

 

[James lamphear]

Nurk has to be better he started out good shooting and now he is 2-10 from the field. Not good enough especially missing 3 foot shots.

 

[illmatic99]

 

[Chris Craig]

I would trade Jake for Kahwi

Kawhi from State Farm just doesn't have the same ring to it

 

[joeBlazers]

He wanted Max money too.

Yep last Game 1/15 and now 2/10... for a CENTER, how the fuck is that possible

You can thank the Euro League for that. They call fouls differently over there, so Nurk has had to adjust his game to a soft approach. The littlest thing will get you a foul over there.

He caught the terminal yips from Fultz?

 

[DUB]

Too much soft stuff, needs to go harder at the rim.

 

[illmatic99]

We want oubre?

 

[wizenheimer]

Too much soft stuff, needs to go harder at the rim.

he also has to stop hurrying his shots

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Wow...this is the NBA and there was confusion as to which Brooks was being dealt? That's some amateur shit

 

[KingSpeed]

Nurkic is 3 for 35 tonight and last game. Holy shit shit

And yet he’s nearly halfway to triple double.

 

[DUB]

Halftime

[KingSpeed]

To be fair, Nurk is rebounding many of his misses so it’s not as bad as it looks.

 

[Chris Craig]

Blazers have 17 assists at the half

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Not that its much better, but Nurk is 3-25 the last 2 games not 3-35

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Blazers have 17 assists at the half

We need to play like this all the time

 

[James lamphear]

Dame and CJ only 11 attempts let see if they start shooting more or stay with the team concept.

 

[Chris Craig]

Not that its much better, but Nurk is 3-25 the last 2 games not 3-35

Whoop de doo

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Wow

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Lets go

 

[DUB]

I reckon Nurk would get more calls if he went up stronger.

 

[DUB]

Toronto has definitely lifted.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Don't let Kawhi get going
