Game Thread GAME# 37: BLAZERS @ CAVALIERS - JANUARY 2, 2018 - TUESDAY, 4:00 PM (PST), NBATV & NBCSNW

[BonesJones]

We're just settling for 3s now. 4 straight possessions where we didnt even get the ball inside the arc.

We literally don't run sets at all... and not in a Golden State good type of way. More like a stagnant Mate McMillan type of way. It's hard to watch.

 

[SynTax]

Can we trade our bench for Cleveland's?

 

[Jade Falcon]

Can we trade our bench for Cleveland's?

Well, Cleveland has a competent coach from THIS era. They'd do far better on Cleveland than here.

 

[Strenuus]

oh that was sick, Dame.

 

[DUB]

Good OReb Nurk!

 

[DUB]

Good OReb Nurk!

And a good pass to ET!

 

[BlazerBeav]

Nurk gets there for the charge, but naturally, it's a foul on us.

 

[rotary111]

Tough call.

 

[SIeepwalker]

We're getting good Nurk so far tonight

 

[DUB]

So close on that three by Chief, in and out.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Literally 3 Cavs were holding Nurk on the rebound, and Korver was trying to get a foul called on Nurk. No shame.

 

[rotary111]

We look determined.

 

[Strenuus]

Dame passing is off so far.

 

[Strenuus]

Nurk gets there for the charge, but naturally, it's a foul on us.

One of those that could have went either way, really.

 

[BlazerBeav]

I like this Korver guarding Nurk thing.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Nurk plays soooo much better with Dame on the floor. There's a huge difference between yesterday and today.

 

[Cippy91]

some of you thought mike rice was bad, this old dude for cleveland is fucking terrible holy shit

 

[BlazerBeav]

I missed Dame. He makes games much more enjoyable to watch.

 

[DUB]

That's so deep from Dame.

 

[Darkwebs]

Nurk is straight beasting tonight. Triple double watch: he has 10-4-4

 

[BlazerBeav]

Wow! A foul called on Lebron! Let's all take a moment to appreciate this rare occurrence!

 

[Boise Blazer]

The NBA TV guys are right, the refs are letting them play on both ends

 

[DUB]

IT knew exactly what Nurk was going to do there.

 

[Cippy91]

LEFLOP

 

[BlazerBeav]

Wow x 2! A travelling call on Lebron! Holy Shit!

 

[Haakzilla]

...Lebron just got his hair-plugs knocked out, he is crying!

 

[SIeepwalker]

Bad screen by Nurk ET was guarded by thomas

 

[Cippy91]

That's good defense IT shut up

 

[BlazerBeav]

IT getting shut down by Dame, can't take it, gets T-ed up. Love it.

 

[Strenuus]

LOL Ref gave no fucks it's IT's first game back.
