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

[BrianFromWA]

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.

GO UP STRONG FFS

 

[julius]

Thats why Turner isn't a PG

 

[BrianFromWA]

CJ had Aminu wide-open.

Anyone know if he has some kind of mental block against doing alley-oops? I remember Dame's rookie year, at one point, was like 4-22 in oop attempt. CJ seems to just miss the opportunity so much

 

[SIeepwalker]

Fuck Turner

 

[BonesJones]

We're playing dumb...

 

[Darkwebs]

Portland giving away and-ones like they're going out of style.

 

[BonesJones]

Weak call.

 

[B-Roy]

I don’t know who I hate more. Olshey for giving Turner that contract or Stotts for trusting him so much.

 

[BonesJones]

This 3rd quarter is on Stotts. No focus. He waited too long to call a TO yet again.

 

[BrianFromWA]

 

[BlazerBeav]

Stotts didn't learn from the last game that Aminu against the Spurs should be at the 3 and not PF? Getting killed by being so small inside.

 

[SIeepwalker]

Dame is so important to this team

 

[SIeepwalker]

Lol Aminu I was cringing so hard on this fast break

 

[DreamKillah]

Heh, heh:

 

[BonesJones]

Stotts needs to learn from Pop when the right time to call a timeout is. He has the best timeout calls.

I thought he was gonna lob it to Aminu because it appeared they made eye contact. But CJ is like, "Nah, I got this" and then misses the running bank shot.

 

[H.C.]

Aminu showing again why he's Portland's best defender regardless of position.

 

[julius]

Every single time I see Turner or Aminu dribble into traffic, this is what I do.

 

[BonesJones]

Stotts needs to learn from Pop when the right time to call a timeout is. He has the best timeout calls.

And look at the fucking result.

 

[Spud147]

I agree he is. But that is literally one of the dumbest commercials I've ever seen. I really, really, really, really, really, really dislike it.

See this is where we differ... I truly love the epic badness of the ad. To me it says "I'm so awesome I can be in this ridiculous commercial with this horrid theme song and everyone still knows I'm "The Man". I want to drink some of that coffee he's selling, ain't gonna lie.

 

[BrianFromWA]

 

[Scalma]

Aminu is getting destroyed. If only we had power forwards

 

[BonesJones]

NOBODY TRIED TO GET THAT REBOUND

 

[Darkwebs]

Bazz passes like he has X-ray vision. How did he see Turner there?

 

[BonesJones]

Do you see everyone watching Aldridge grab the rebound?

 

[BonesJones]

That shot Turner shot... I fucking hate it so much.

 

[BonesJones]

Stop shooting Turner for fucks sake

 

[julius]

You know, at this point they should just let Zach and Pat shoot as much as they want.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Zach's form isn't all that different from Leonard's, it's just that it seems a bit quicker and less deliberate. Which is weird, since Leonard was a guard that grew 8 inches, rather than a kid who was always the tallest in his class.
