[Jade Falcon]

he is

DAMMIT!

Now I can see us losing this game. CJ and Nurk need monster games.

Nurk vs Jokic in the post without a PnR.....ugh.

Hopefully Shabazz can start and establish that. Surely he's seen Dame do it enough times.

Go Blazers.

 

[Strenuus]

Layman is starting lmao

Clearly you jest.

Please...

 

[Jade Falcon]

The refs trying to look all serious when introduced, lmao.

 

[SIeepwalker]

Most annoying thing about this game: If we win some dumbasses are gonna come and say we're better off without Dame

CJ can do it and hes done it couple of times
now when Dame is out, hell need to do it a lot more tonight

Im expecting big game from Nurk, I can smell 24/12 performance

 

[Jade Falcon]

Blazers are 30th in Assists. Holy shit.

Thanks Stotts.

 

[H.C.]

Without Lillard, I just don't see how Portland puts up a fight against other middle of the pack teams.
Who knows, maybe they'll overachieve these next two games.

Thanks Stotts.

One of these days he'll have shooting at more than 2 positions again lol.

 

[Chris Craig]

Go Blazers!

 

[Chris Craig]

[Jade Falcon]

.....starting Layman at Guard?

Please tell me that's a joke.....

 

[Chris Craig]

OMG layman IS starting.

I don't even know what to think.

Stotts trying to balance it out?

 

[ripcityboy]

Layman.... "You see the shooting guard is bad. It's like how much more bad could shooting guard be?"

 

[H.C.]

So with Layman starting... there are two people on the floor who can shoot outside of 15 ft. awesome.
Nurk isn't a great shooter yet.
Stotts man... Jake shouldn't see the floor ever.

 

[TBpup]

Starting Layman is fairly typical Stotts. He often goes with a 3rd stringer so that the rest of the rotations remain the same. Not out of character for him.

 

[H.C.]

Nurk on pace for 80points.

 

[TBpup]

Nice drop bounce pass from Layman leading to the Chief '3'.

 

[Strenuus]

Oh Cj...

 

[TBpup]

CJ ignoring wide-open teammates left and right already....SMH.

 

[SIeepwalker]

Why the fuck are layman and Turner starting...

 

[ripcityboy]

CJ/Turner.... If they were in an 80's tag team it would be The Turnover Connection.

 

[HailBlazers]

CJ ignoring wide-open teammates left and right already....SMH.

Standard.

 

[Strenuus]

Jesus... Layman isn't even close.

 

[HailBlazers]

F'ing Stotts , please insert a 4 at the 4

 

[ripcityboy]

And the offense is basically Nurk and Nurk.

 

[Jade Falcon]

uuuuuuugh.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Oh fuck you Aminu. Go flip burgers or something.

 

[H.C.]

CJ takes the three misses, stands there with his arm up and watches the miss.
Meanwhile the guy guarding him leaks out and scores an easy layup.

Yo, that's enough to be benched.
