Game Thread GAME# 35: BLAZERS @ WARRIORS - DECEMBER 27, 2018 - THURSDAY, 7:30 PM, NBCSNW

[Strenuus]

CJ can get off this team pls kthx.

 

[Chris Craig]

6 point half time lead!

 

[Labinot41]

Now be ready for the Monster 3rd quarter by Golden State. We all know it's gonna happen

 

[BonesJones]

I fully expect Golden State to get in some big fight at halftime involving Draymond and then they get a spark from it and outscore us by 20 in the 3rd.

 

[Strenuus]

Pretty sure we'll be down by the end of the 3rd.

Prove me wrong, Blazers.

 

[crandc]

I feel like I'm going to be holding my breath the entire second half.

And this is what I do for fun!

 

[TBpup]

Dame has such a quiet fire. The man burns on the inside.

Wish more of his teammates shared that.

 

[kjironman1]

Kinda thought CJ looked good taking Turners place on the second unit. Stotts finally had enough of Turner i guess. Pulled his ass right outta the game.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Seems like the Blazers should be getting destroyed and their winning so thats good.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Whats the 3rd quarter spread? About the same as the full game?

 

[DUB]

Trail Blazers with the halftime lead over the champions on their own court!

 

[trailblazer18]

Have to keep taking care of the ball. We've done a great job so far.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

This is weird. I feel like we've played bad and we're tied with Golden State in Oakland late in the second... And they're healthy. Weird.

I think one big difference is Green can't shoot threes lately so teams are playing him like Aminu. I saw Harkless laying way off him.

 

[BlazerBeav]

The defense by Dame on Curry to end the half was beautiful. Shame that this kind of effort would have won in Utah.

You'll have some killer lungs though

 

[PHXBlazer1]

A 6 point lead against this team is literally the same as being down 4

Yep and his passing game is not looking the same either?

I'm pretty sure the Warriors didn't inbound it in time, but oh well.

well hard to drive and kick or hit cutters when the guy guarding you is sagging off.

 

[kjironman1]

That is exactly what happens to Aminu. It becomes 4 on 5 and the passing lanes are clogged up.

 

[Chris Craig]

What scares me is Turner will be back on the court

 

[riverman]

Dame is on a mission...he's a proud man

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I think Durant will come out and try to take over.

Worse than HCP's toilet.

 

[Chris Craig]

Probably

 

[KingSpeed]

Only 2 turnovers so far, both by Turner

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Im not gonna say a god damn thing unless we're up by 10 with less than a minute left...other than regular game thread bullshit of course

 

[wizenheimer]

Only 2 turnovers so far, both by Turner

that's one of those jinx-karma-voodoo statements that often end up boomeranging. Watch the Blazer have 7 turnovers in the 3rdQ now

 

[BonesJones]

 

[Chris Craig]

Lol he didn't move Nurk at all
