Dogfight game! Go Blazers! Beal is a beast..underrated guard

 

[Gronk Brady]

It’s so frustrating not being able to see how good this team could be if CJ committed to passing and getting teammates involved... ISO ball is in his dna.

 

[Hoopguru]

That’s it....CJ for Butler, I’m on board.

he's going to lead us to victory in second half!

Same with Turner. Sick of both of them.

 

[Hoopguru]

Should have happened on draft night 2017, but the used car salesman will Never trade his Darling

why should hey trade Dame?

 

[James lamphear]

CJ is so streaky with his shooting the problem is that if he not hitting he kind worthless out there due he is terrible defender. But let see if he can get going the 2nd half.

 

[Rozay]

Nurkic is really Bad in defending the paint this Year

Yea he is

 

[Rozay]

Why shoot that shot dame?

I have no idea why he does that shit

 

[ripcityboy]

We just have to get someone not named Dame or CJ involved in the offense. We can't go back to the three man game it was last year. Terry, feed somebody else!

 

[Boise Blazer]

Not that he hasn't earned it but Dame is finally getting those calls that would drive us crazy if they were happening to us

 

[Rozay]

I thought Layman played well enough early that he earned the chance to play the end of the first half over Stauskas tonight.

Classic Stotts. He’s doing that shit he did on Vonleh.

“Here you can start but your not playing much after that”

 

[Jade Falcon]

Nurk has a double double? What?

 

[Strenuus]

I have no idea why he does that shit

It was a two-for-one. Stotts called for it.

Neither team is playing defense!

 

[Boise Blazer]

Nurk has a double double? What?

That's the thing about Nurk sometimes even in his "eye test" bad games he puts up the stats. But for the record I was surprised too about the rebounds

 

[James lamphear]

Bench score 19 that half not bad. Nurk already double double.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

My take so far this year is theyve made it almost impossible to play perimeter defense. If you get close to the offensive player its a foul, if you back up they will shoot over you, and if the guard runs straight at the defender it is also a foul.

This is why everyones scoring 120 points every game now...

With Howard out, they should be doing a lot more PnR. But so far.......

 

[H.C.]

Nurk has a double double? What?

The perimeter defenders have to do a better job and stop leaving Nurk on an island.
Nurk has a serious advantage this game.
The only issue is the Morris/Wall P&R that will be difficult for anyone to defend not named Anthony Davis.

It feels like rec league. Where everyone just dribbles the length of the court for a couple of hours.

 

[Boise Blazer]

Random comment but Hurd is sounding like Obama with his pauses and cadence. It's cracking me up

 

[kjironman1]

Just feed the beast inside and this game should be the Blazers.

But it ain't happening that way.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Dame and Wall were both basically just attacking the paint over and over and both got a ton of ft’s because of it. Not really sure how you ‘can’ guard that with the way fouls were being called.

 

[Labinot41]

CJ Go Home dude

 

[LuckyShot]

Both teams look like they are sleep walking now.

 

[B-Roy]

What the hell are both teams doing?

 

[TBpup]

CJ just REFUSES to lob the ball to Layman for a dunk.

 

[rotary111]

Both teams look ugly.

 

[B-Roy]

CJ STOP
