Game Thread GAME# 38: BLAZERS @ KINGS - JANUARY 1, 2019 - TUESDAY, 6:00 PM, NBCSNW

So Nurk has to have a historic game to impress you?

And your point?

 

[kjironman1]

Always nice to get a win on the road. Great job Nurkic! One heck of a game for the Beast.

 

[tykendo]

Jokic had 19/14/15 with 3 blocks tonight.

Denver really knows how to pick Euro bigs. We need to raid their Euro scouts

That would be smart. They have an outstanding scouting department. Chicago drafted him, traded him (Another LaMarcus dumb move by the Bulls), but the Nuggets know Euro Talent.

 

[kjironman1]

Wait, so was that the first ever 20/20 5 x 5?

20x20 5x5x5

 

[Chris Craig]

Nurkic the first player since 1974 to have those stats

 

[TBpup]

Wait, so was that the first ever 20/20 5 x 5?

Damn....Olajuwan OWNED the 5x5.

 

[illmatic99]

Wait, so was that the first ever 20/20 5 x 5?

yup. Hakeem got close when had 31/19 and a 5x5

 

[kjironman1]

Steals Blocks and assists on the 5 x 5 x 5

 

[tykendo]

What is he 24?[/Q Yes

 

[wizenheimer]

I'd say out of all the other 5x5s, Hakeem's was the closest to what Nurkic just showed us. Wow.

let's not get carried away. Hakeem had five 5 X 5's but in one of them he had a 5X5 AND a quadruple double

29 points - 18 reb - 10ast - 12blks - 5stls. That has to be an all-time performance

Hernangomez has been decent too

 

[TBpup]

Lol....Stotts just said it was "probably the best game Nurk has played". Seriously?

 

[Jade Falcon]

"The Other Side" will be updated shortly.

 

[ripcityboy]

Nurkic the first player since 1974 to have those stats

 

[bobf]

Good win. I just wish Nurk played like this more often.

Nurk's PER is 22.2 that's pretty damn good and he plays great defense on top of that.

 

[TBpup]

"The Other Side" will be updated shortly.

Tonight, Nurk WAS This Side, That Side, and The Other Side.

 

[Titan]

Lol....Stotts just said it was "probably the best game Nurk has played". Seriously?

Confirmed, Stotts just found out Nurk plays for us.

 

[bobf]

LOVE THAT! Nurk Fever 2.0

 

[tykendo]

Hernangomez has been decent too

Yes he has, and he's getting better too. Denver and Portland poised to have a knock down dragout rivalry for years to come. Denver media likes to overlook PDX though. They forget the Blazers are young too. Denver has more depth right now.

 

[tykendo]

On the down side, Collins and Meyers not good tonight. Stauskas another clueless performance as well. Meyers went back to being his old aloof self tonight. Missed dunk, and 360 wiff on Giles not good. Collins is thinking to much. He looks mechanical right now. R.E.L.A.X., relax Zach.

 

[tykendo]

Back to good. Proud of the absolute desire by the Blazers to get this one. Sactown is very improved, and the Blazers Did not quit. But this team doesn't quit. They're fighters.

 

[kjironman1]

On the down side, Collins and Meyers not good tonight. Stauskas another clueless performance as well. Meyers went back to being his old aloof self tonight. Missed dunk, and 360 wiff on Giles not good. Collins is thinking to much. He looks mechanical right now. R.E.L.A.X., relax Zach.

What is this "Down Side" you speak of?

 

[Shaboid]

let's not get carried away. Hakeem had five 5 X 5's but in one of them he had a 5X5 AND a quadruple double

29 points - 18 reb - 10ast - 12blks - 5stls. That has to be an all-time performance

Okay yeah, you're right. I can admit when I'm wrong.

It was historic for a Trailblazer though!

Blazers need to run a lot of offense through Collins when he's in with he backups. Force him to learn and don't worry about it if he messes up. Just keep doing it.

 

[tykendo]

A hiccup in tonight's performance.

 

[tykendo]

Hey was that HCP being interviewed by my dream girl Brooke?

 

[Scalma]

First curry struggled now it’s stauskas. Instead of doing the obvious and putting CJ back on the second unit, I hope Stotts gives one of the rookies a chance, even if it’s temporary. At 10-15 minutes, you’re not really risking much.

Or just get Layman back in there, actually.

 

[LuckyShot]

FUCK! I always seem to miss our best games! So glad Nurk is beasting on everyone. Impressive stat line. I need to see the game highlights via True Blazer Fan on Youtube pronto.

Hopefully @BonesJones produces a vidcap as Epic as Nurks night tonight.

 

[Shaboid]

I'll also admit, as high as I am on Nurk's game tonight, one bounce the other way in the King's favor and we lose. Gotta tighten up the third quarter.
