Hard for this team to win when Nurk's head isn't in it.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Fuck this Hartenstein guy

 

[AldoTrapani]

Nurk is garbage

 

[B-Roy]

All fast break stopping fouls need to be clear path.

 

[DDolla]

Nurk playing against Zubac and that other big guy and he can’t even dominate lol

 

[FlashWad]

Suns game = 4 quarters

This game = 1 quarter.

If you wanna extrapolate... 5 quarters of bad basketball, 4 quarters of quality basketball. You can't tell either way yet.

I hope im wrong. I was starting to get really excited about the blazers again but that first quarter brought me back.

 

[brooklynballer]

Nurk should be doing nothing but working on his ‘5-feet and in’ game during practices. For a guy that big, he is BY FAR the worst, and softest, finisher I’ve ever seen.

 

[Strenuus]

I like the aggressive idea of simons making that pass but just not there.

 

[brooklynballer]

Bosnian Beast or Bosnian Teddy Bear?

 

[Strenuus]

I hope im wrong. I was starting to get really excited about the blazers again but that first quarter brought me back.

Regardless, it's way too soon to go either way with the team.

 

[Strenuus]

WHY CJ. SUCH A DUMB SHOT.

 

[AldoTrapani]

I wish somebody could guard that white boy on the Clippers fuck

 

[Strenuus]

Nurk go strong with that rebound!

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Bosnian Beast or Bosnian Teddy Bear?

 

[Strenuus]

Fucking stotts like defense. Fuuuuck.

 

[James lamphear]

Well they tearing are defense up.

 

[blazedanugz]

What is going on with for Roco…

He’s been awful on defense the first game and so far tonight
Leaving shooters wide open

 

[brooklynballer]

Ah the old matador defense returns. Zero effort thus far. Were these guys out at the strip club all night?

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Were the Blazers out partying in LA last night?

 

[FlashWad]

it seems when they cant score the let the defense deteriorate badly. We really need Lillard to step up to win tonight its starting to turn into a blowout.

 

[LayneStaley]

Trade CJ

 

[Driew]

What is going on with for Roco…

Seems like he's thinking too much and not playing freely. He also started slow last year but turned things around.

 

[julius]

This has L written all over it.

 

[Jon]

*Stotts has entered the chat*

 

[wizenheimer]

lol at the idea that CJ is being accountable and restrained

playing Dame off the ball is freezing him out of the offense. Blazers don't have the passers to get the ball back to him

 

[James lamphear]

Way there playing they wasn't ready to play.

 

[Chris Craig]

I wish somebody could guard that white boy on the Clippers fuck

Kennard about to have a 40 pt career night

 

[Idog1976]

Ooof rough first half so far.

 

[Tince]

Roco's strength is team defense, when around other good 1:1 defenders. Unfortunately, on this roster, he's forced into a role that doesn't play into those strengths. Not Billups fault.

 

[Haakzilla]

Clippers were due for their first W of season -- at home no less -- it will take a phenomenal performance the next 3 quarters to turn this into a Blazers W
