Game Thread GAME# 32: JAZZ @ BLAZERS - DECEMBER 21, 2018 - FRIDAY, 7:00 PM, NBCSNW

[BonesJones]

They really made ML explain why he didn't shoot that shot, smh...

They probably asked "Whatd you think about the people wanting you to shoot at the end?"

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

3 point shooting contest!

I missed the question. So I'm not sure how they phrased it, just heard his explanation.

 

[BonesJones]

Stotts needs to have a talk with CJ.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Hey fams, is it just me, or has Nurk's paint Defense declined this season compared to last season?

It might just be me.....

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Dame is crazy sometimes. I know those are bad shots when they don't go in, but the fact he makes it so easy lookin with an NBA defender in his face is pretty amazing.
Then you look at the should we trade dame threads....

 

[trailblazer18]

Lillard has been on fire from deep the last few games. Keep this up!

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

I disagree. I think it's gotten better, It took me like 2-3 weeks to figure it out, but the way they're calling fouls this year, he can't be very aggressive but he does GREAT at clogging the paint and altering shots w/o fouling.

 

[JDC]

Nice closeout and contest on Korver by CJ after that 3.

Ugly start offensively for him

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

I feel pretty good about the energy level they're playing with. I'm concerned with the pace though, the pace seems to favor the Jazz so far.

 

[BonesJones]

Our shot selection has been terrible.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Zach made the right pass to Dame there. I think they should play through Zach down there more.

 

[BonesJones]

What the hell is Dame gonna do with the ball behind the backboard Zach?

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

What the hell is Dame gonna do with the ball behind the backboard Zach?

It looked like Dame fumbled the pass, I think if he catches that clean it's good pass.

 

[ripcityboy]

Whenever our bench comes in I feel like a contestant on the old game show, Press Your Luck.

"NO WHAMMIES! COME ON! NO WHAMMIES!"

 

[BigGameDamian]

Sometimes Meyers just looks so clueless and lost.

 

[JDC]

Thank god ET is feeling it.

Miserable basketball these last couple minutes otherwise...

 

[Jade Falcon]

Okay. Let's not play this lineup again.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

This is our bench this year. Some nights they're really, really good sometimes not so much... Hopefully the 2nd quarter they can hold serve or make some ground.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Bad bench is back. Their offense is dependent on set three pointers, so naturally we are leaving them.

 

[BonesJones]

It looked like Dame fumbled the pass, I think if he catches that clean it's good pass.

No it's not. Dame was under the backboard when it arrived.

 

[trailblazer18]

Man, they are shooting lights out.

 

[BonesJones]

Our bench cant defend for shit.

 

[BonesJones]

Bad bench is back. Their offense is dependent on set three pointers, so naturally we are leaving them.

Allowing dribble penetration left and right and then gotten lost in helpside.

 

[ripcityboy]

 

[HailBlazers]

Man, they are shooting lights out.

Man, we never guard the three point line.

 

[BonesJones]

Curry, Collins, and Leonard are a whopping -11 in 3 minutes. That's so bad.

 

[Five Second Violation]

Could be worse. Utah won't continue to shoot this well.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Korver can really shoot a basketball...

 

[Titan]

Just need to stop the jazz from hitting 3s
