Game Thread GAME# 39: THUNDER @ BLAZERS - JANUARY 4, 2019 - FRIDAY, 7:30 PM, ESPN & NBCSNW

Nurkic?

He doesn't get the ball in the second half. It's a mandate

 

[Jade Falcon]

Great. Another national game loss.

Is it any wonder why the media doesn't respect us?

I don't want to see this team in the playoffs. If we even make it there. We have nobody who can stop George.

 

[hoopsjock]

We leave Dame in when he's struggling and they lose the lead and then the bench comes in and sucks. Why not rest Dame sooner sometimes so he can play more in the 4th. You can't coach every game the same way.

 

[Blazer4ever]

Stotts better just keep the 2nd unit in the game because if he starts making adjustments and shuffling the lineups, we could be in for a tough 4th quarter

 

[LuckyShot]

ET has 10 dimes I think...he's playing well

And he can thank the ridiculous shooting of Layman for over half of them.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Two games in a row we control a game till late in the third and then fall apart.

 

[illmatic99]

Why were we running a pick n roll 30ft away from the basket when we were running a pin down for Jakez who was wide open on a curl?

The pick n roll mad it so there was no passing window, so Turner couldn't throw it in time.

Stotts.....

And yet, Turner forced a stupid pass in there. He has no BBIQ

 

[TBpup]

What else do we have?

Nurk/Layman are 14-19....go to them until they cool off.

 

[BonesJones]

Man. Layman could really be a spark off the bench if he could ever be consistent.

Needs consistent PT.

 

[BonesJones]

And yet, Turner forced a stupid pass in there. He has no BBIQ

Yup. A combination of both.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Every time you see trent and simons they look like their so dead bored down there...

 

[riverman]

JAKE again!

 

[beast blazer]

Well...i don't think many blazer fans respect this team. It's my least favorite squad in ages

 

[Shaboid]

We can win this game, but yeah I agree. Paul George is nasty.

 

[beast blazer]

Horrible calls to boot

 

[LuckyShot]

The media will never respect us. We could win the championship this year and they'd pass us off as a fluke while sucking the dicks of anyone in a Laker uniform, or guys like Harden, George, Westbrook, Greek dude, etc.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

If their gonna call that crap a foul then the Blazers should have about 15 more ft's...

 

[Shaboid]

That was a bad call

 

[Rhal]

These refs have been god awful in how they have called fouls that lead to FTs.

 

[TBpup]

I'm guessing one of these refs has $$$ on the game if they are calling that a foul. Good grief.

 

[LuckyShot]

Nurk/Layman are 14-19....go to them until they cool off.

If that's not in the cards, it's not in the cards. Cards say they have to sit, then they sit.

 

[DUB]

Noel has a hand in ET’s back, refs swallow their whistles. Down the other end, Leonard literally doesn’t touch Noel, whistle, foul, two shots.

 

[ripcityboy]

He just slopped in two of the sloppiest shots that ever slopped their way into a basketball hoop. He's still as scrub.

I love this board. Can't let so much as a joke go without the automatic refutation of criticism. It's like having being in middle school algebra again and having the pockmarked kid at the back with his hand up, yelling, "That's not true! That's not the answer! I know the answer and that not it!"

 

[BonesJones]

CJ WTF

WAHHHH

 

[Rhal]

The Thunder have been really lucky in the 50/50 balls this half.

 

[Darkwebs]

"Fan favorite" = Meyers??? Do your research, ESPN.

 

[beast blazer]

Cj is like Shawn Kemp level overpaid now

 

[LuckyShot]

SHOOT THE OPEN 3, MEYERS. YOU BRING LITERALLY NOTHING ELSE TO THE TABLE.

 

[hoopsjock]

GOD FUCKING DAMN IT CJ, there is a Thunder player laying on the floor and you have two Blazers wide open and you take a contested 3?????????? Fuck off.
