Game Thread GAME# 35: BLAZERS @ HAWKS - DECEMBER 30, 2017 - SATURDAY, 4:30 PM (PST), NBCSNW

CJ with a forced runner in another no-pass possession for the Blazers once CJ gets the ball. Absolutely infuriating.

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

everyone is better with Napier running the offense instead of CJ

HOT TAKE?

 

[TBpup]

Blazers now with 11 assists.....CJ with zip, zero, nada, none, naught.....you get the idea.

 

[riverman]

now we're cookin'

 

[Mr. Robot]

HOT TAKE?

nope, fact

Sixth man stats.

 

[trailblazer18]

Isn't obvious to everyone, we need to keep Napier on the cheap and trade Dame!!!! haha

 

[SIeepwalker]

So when Dame comes back what happens to Bazz ? Can we trade CJ already to make space for him ?

 

[SIeepwalker]

Can someone punch Nurk in the nose ?

 

[DUB]

That flop by Cavanaugh would have been a tech foul in the Australian NBL.

 

[Labinot41]

Nurkic is so bad

 

[rotary111]

Nurkic and Aminu need to quit trying to dribble. Stay in your lane!

The halftime entertainment is kids doing acrobatics, they're called "Flip City".

Holy shit Atlanta has the most irritating arena in the NBA. Constant shitty music during game play. Shitty mascot too wtf. Get some wire for that lower beak, the shit is flopping around like an old tit.

Everything looks so Grey in this Arena. Ugly af

This team somehow has three of my most disliked Blazers on it. I can’t stand watching Nurk Aminu or Meyers. It’s not even about how well they play or not. They just annoy the shit out of me.

 

[SynTax]

I Love me some CJ, and he's definitely our second best player, but...Has it not become apparent to Stotts that Cj simply cannot run an offense? The dude's an elite shooter. Why don't we try to get him some high quality shots with some off-ball action instead of just watching him iso all game?

 

[Optimistic Bob]

Just turned on the game here. Looks like they are winning !! Yah Hoo !!
Who's playin ? LOL..... I'll soon find out

 

[Jade Falcon]

I see the Nurk Hate Train is rolling down the track in full force tonight. Is the PnR not working or something? I missed the first half.

Go Blazers!

Got the lead when Napier ran the offense and McCollum on the bench. CJ being CJ.

 

[DUB]

Great steal Nurk!

 

[DUB]

What's with these contested jumpshots early in the shotclock?

 

[ripcityboy]

Turner couldn't hit a G spot on a 10 pound pussy.

 

[TBpup]

OMG...Nurk WIDE OPEN for the dunk and CJ instead goes 1-on-2 with the step-back jumper. (miss)

Has to be frustrating for teammates. They know how open they are.

 

[DUB]

Dunk that Nurk! Don't pass when you're right under the rim.

 

[Strenuus]

Atlanta broadcasters talking shit about how soft Nurk is. LOL.
