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

[julius]

So Portland got a 5 point lead...which pretty much means they'll stop playing smart and think that the Spurs will roll over.

 

[BonesJones]

San Antonio getting all the calls

 

[SIeepwalker]

This young ref has an even more punchable face than Meyers

 

[BlazerBeav]

Not sure why Stotts didn't have Nurk in as soon as LA went back in. Can't play small against Pau and LA.

 

[BrianFromWA]

I love it when we're making some shots...

 

[illmatic99]

CJ throws so many lefty passes

 

[Darkwebs]

No Moe Hesitation 3's

 

[BrianFromWA]

Big fan of the intensity right now. More than you'd expect with 6 minutes left...this is "last possession" type focus...

and then Chief drives again.

 

[BonesJones]

SA would've gotten that call on Aminus drive

 

[SIeepwalker]

MOOOOOOOO

 

[B-Roy]

We may just win this if Turner doesn’t come back in.

 

[BonesJones]

Big fan of the intensity right now. More than you'd expect with 6 minutes left...this is "last possession" type focus...

and then Chief drives again.

Good aggressive drive, he got fouled.

 

[KingSpeed]

Does Harkless hate playing with Dame?

 

[BonesJones]

Bazz / CJ / Moe / Chief / Nurk is the lineup that needs to finish this game.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Does Harkless hate playing with Dame?

No, but he loves playing with Napier.

 

[julius]

Well, that didn't take long.

 

[BrianFromWA]

OK, I don't care who you are...a 6'10 guy pulling up from 3 on a 2-on-1 FB with Pop controlling your 4ppg playing time, takes some balls

 

[BrianFromWA]

good foul...man, I like watching smart teams play.

 

[julius]

gotta get those rebounds.

 

[SIeepwalker]

Those two 3s were unfortunate...

 

[julius]

Of course they scored after that botched rebound.

 

[PDXFonz]

Shabazz is a champion. Just look at his college petigree. He’s a winner, we have to find a way to keep him, and keep consistent time for him.

If Terry suddenly benches or DNPs him I will call, email, and mail the team with my frustrations.

 

[julius]

They're letting 90 year old Manu Ginobili beat them.

 

[SIeepwalker]

CJ Blackhollum

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

the hellwith the rest of the team; right, CJ?

 

[BrianFromWA]

^^ I read that like "Black Gollum"...

 

[SIeepwalker]

Those weak ass calls

 

[julius]

Not the smartest play calling by Portland.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Lamarcus "Clutch Gene" Aldridge.

 

[julius]

That's a case of "let em play through"
