Game Thread GAME# 3: BLAZERS @ BUCKS - OCTOBER 21, 2017 - SATURDAY, 5:30 (PDT), NBCSNW

[FlashWad]

Easy win for the Blazers with fair refs. But let's be real, it's the NBA.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Ridiculous choke. No FGA with the lead in the final minute. One score wins that. Missed opportunity.

 

[kingslayer]

Can't wait for the rematch.

 

[Mr. Robot]

CJ pass the fucking ball you idiot

 

[H.C.]

CJ really looked gassed basically the entire 4th quarter.
Disappointing.

LOL, so sad

 

[BigGameDamian]

Hard fought game but the refs really screwed the Blazers at the end.

That's absurd. The refs didn't loose this game for the Blazers.

 

[Cippy91]

Nurk 7 for 17. Ouch

 

[Denny Crane]

2-1 road trip ain’t bad at all.

The Warriors are 1-2.

 

[PDXFonz]

Calabro is so obviously more fit to be a national announcer that sucks on the cock of whoever is the superstar in the game.

"*lip smacking* mmm, mmm. Giannis with the great plays *lip smacking* *sounding like he just took a huge bite out of a hamburger* he's really a star"

 

[Strenuus]

I aint mad at Nurk on that play. Superstar made a superstar play. Hats off to Giannis.

What I am mad at, is CJ dribbling into the double team with Dame WIDE open to his left. He passes it, we still have 5 on the clock and Dame makes something happen there.

That play cost us the game. Not Nurk.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

The Bucks are such a bad matchup for us (size wise) but at least we fought.

Still though, Nurkic needs to back up all that talk in the summer and all that play he showed us last season. He's losing money.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Just fouling the shit out of CJ with no fear. WTF.

No fucking shit. pathetic officiating the whole night.

 

[BrunoSOC]

Bad call in The final possession

 

[B-Roy]

Are people turning on Nurk already? I thought he played fine today.

 

[Chris Craig]

Disappointing.

Its hard when your getting fouled like crazy and the refs are blind.

 

[Cippy91]

2-1 road trip ain’t bad at all.

The Warriors are 1-2.

Yeah but we should of won that. Those last few possessions were crucial. Giannis ripping dame and then cj. Should of been a win

 

[Strenuus]

That's absurd. The refs didn't loose this game for the Blazers.

Did they make it tight?

 

[LuckyShot]

bucks dont seem good to me. I mainly saw the refs bail em out. Either way good performance. Now we get to home some. Maybe the refs will actually call the game fair then.

Half of Giannis's game is traveling and getting FTs. The other half is extreme athleticism, which is impressive.

 

[EGame]

We just need a real Power forward. Thats all I want. I don't wanna see mo or aminu there (or really ever).

 

[Chris Craig]

Well we are still better than the warriors

 

[Shaboid]

Welp. That was at least exciting. If the Bucks can keep Giannis, they are going to be GOOD for the next decade.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

 

[A$AP Meyers]

Not worried at all it's only been 3 games and the Bucks length is bothersome to every team..with that said, however, I truly feel like Nurkic lost too much weight. He has been bodied in all three games this year by guys he should physically dominate. Key word, physically. Obviously he's not an explosive athlete. But he hasn't rebounded or finished around the rim well at all.

I hate to say it but he kind of looks, well, soft.

 

[Strenuus]

Are people turning on Nurk already? I thought he played fine today.

People expect too much. It's a societal thing. People will get it... hopefully. I think I just set up an unrealistic expectation, too. :MARIS61:

 

[Nikolokolus]

Giannis is something else though ... Wow.

 

[Jade Falcon]

That's absurd. The refs didn't loose this game for the Blazers.

This. We choked this away, and we missed about 7 total FTs.

Can't win a game when you don't score in the final minute and you can't win a game this close when you miss FTs.

The refs didn't cost us this game. We did it to ourselves.

Stotts end-game plays are pathetic. It's the same old shit all the time: give it to Dame and hope he pulls something off. We need something else.

 

[Sinobas]

Bullshit game. The refs decided this one, they let them grab CJ around the waist and steal the ball. They call a defensive foul every time the Greek Fag charges into someone, he bodied Nurk on the last shot as well, which I'd be ok with the no call if they weren't call that bullshit on the other end.

 

[Chris Craig]

Half of Giannis's game is traveling and getting FTs. The other half is extreme athleticism, which is impressive.

And fouling the hell out of people and not getting called for it

 

[GrandJury]

That was a solid play by a superstar in Giannis. That's not nurks fault. Right, Tunchi?

Pump fake!! Then draw the damn foul !
