Game Thread GAME# 39: SPURS @ BLAZERS - JANUARY 7, 2018 - SUNDAY, 6:00 PM (PST), NBATV & NBCSNW

[Strenuus]

Collins has so much potential.

MM's response: Unlimited potential?

 

[Strenuus]

He’s fine with help. He was killing when Dame came back. Now of course with no 2nd star it’s hard

Or, in better terms - exposed.

 

[BrianFromWA]

wow, that face up automatic J from Collins was smooth

 

[julius]

Collins has so much potential.

MM's response: Unlimited potential?

You know, once you realize and accept that is his shtick, it isn't nearly as annoying.

 

[Strenuus]

It's like taking a players' one-dimensional attribute away.

 

[BrianFromWA]

I think I just saw Chief do a dribble-drive floater...

 

[Strenuus]

Work calls. Game going just as I thought.

 

[julius]

How was that even a question as to if that was a shooting foul or not!?

 

[BrianFromWA]

Hey, if I was Dejounte Murray, I'd rather shoot FTs than jumpers, too...

 

[AFully22]

Nurks rebounding can be atrocious

 

[B-Roy]

Evan Turner is the best player in the league at leaving good shooters to help double.

 

[Cippy91]

when nurk is softer than LMA...

 

[BrianFromWA]

Nurks rebounding can be atrocious

Sometimes it can be sublime, though.

 

[SIeepwalker]

Our first FTs of the game...

 

[SIeepwalker]

WOW NURK

 

[BrianFromWA]

I feel like Manu shouldn't be able to be this good....

Haven't seen the Nurk jump-spin before

 

[BrianFromWA]

who was it bemoaning ET leaving shooters in the open corner 3?

 

[BrianFromWA]

keep feeding the big fella

 

[julius]

Thats the kind of offense that Nurk needs to do, not the lame finesse floaters he does.

 

[BrianFromWA]

I love being on the receiving end of a game when LMA hits his first few Js, so he stays with it.

 

[B-Roy]

Evan Turner is unplayable. No one guards him ever.

 

[Darkwebs]

Crazy to think that the Blazers have only made one 3 in the first half. And Harkless is the one who made it.

 

[Mr. Robot]

max out Nurk at the half time, he deserved it

 

[illmatic99]

Spurs are just so methodical. Can't get down against them-- they never give up leads

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

Nope. Easiest answer ever. He should never even be considered for it.

I just saw it and voted. So Happy to be the 35th no against 0 yes votes.

 

[Mr. Robot]

LMA cant handle THE NURK

 

[jlprk]

Bertans' head is too big for his body. He looks like the bobbing doll on HCP's dashboard.

 

[BrianFromWA]

I just saw it and voted. So Happy to be the 35th no against 0 yes votes.

I wonder if we can get it to 77-0 by the end of the game.

 

[Mr. Robot]

Haven't seen the Nurk jump-spin before

he did that on his is very first game for the Blazers
and I dont recall exactly, but that might have been his very first points for this franchise too

 

[H.C.]

Nurk is playing with poise tonight.
Taking his time & getting to his spots.
Not throwing up sloppy rushed shots.
Will only get better with age.
