Game Thread Game #4 BLAZERS VS GRIZZLIES - OCTOBER 27, 2021 - WEDNESDAY - 7:00 PM, ESPN, ROOT SPORTS

[B-Roy]

Dame, Ant, Nas, Nance, Nurk. Feel like this is something we should be trying.

 

[brooklynballer]

When/why did Nurk morph into late-career Przybilla?

He has zero lift. Not sure if it’s the leg that he broke or just his pussy soft mindset. Get him the fuck outta here. No way he deserves anything more than a minimum contract at this point. The game has passed dinosaurs like him by.

 

[1 Eye Jack]

There is just no effort there.

I disagree I think the effort is there guys are just getting lost on rotations over committing on run outs to shooters. We will eventually settle down defensively this is exactly what I expected to start the season. This is the first time in years some of these guys have played a real defense.


Offensively I really like what I see few to many turnovers but I can’t remember the last time I saw Dame and CJ shoot so many wide open 3’s. Only thing I hate so far is giving up so many offensive rebounds again guys out of position scrambling that will fix itself!

 

[Shaboid]

Damn dude

It was a joke. Every time I see him my blood pressure just goes up, I can only imagine his is through the roof.

 

[B-Roy]

Nurk needs to be benched. Dude is going up so soft with his shots

So far throughout this season: Nance/Zeller > RoCo/Nurk

 

[wizenheimer]

It all looks and feels so flat. No energy in the building here tonight.

the crowd has been behind the Blazers for years, but the rinse-repeat nature of the team every year means the team is going to have to give the crowd a reason for energy.

And it's not close. Add Ant>Dame while youre at it

CoVid is playing a huge part.

that said, if the blazers start playing well and winning people will return. The team is not giving people a reason to be optimistic with the number of forced turnovers, blown layups, and missed wide open 3s.

 

[B-Roy]

Since preseason the number of blown layups, missed open 3s and turnovers have been staggering. Surely some of the threes start falling. Same with the layups. Our offense should not be THIS bad.

No confidence in team yet, once the team turns things around things will go back to normal and Moda center will be rocking

 

[illmatic99]

Dame, Ant, Nas, Nance, Nurk. Feel like this is something we should be trying.

You want to bench the only guy among the starters playing well?

 

[B-Roy]

You want to bench the only guy among the starters playing well?

you’re right, but then who do you bench?

 

[illmatic99]

Cavs are up 15 on the Clippers

 

[Hoopguru]

Has Dame put on weight?
Also, that zone left Dame in no mans land a few times.

 

[1 Eye Jack]

Start of season going to look sloppy guys like Dame aren’t use to committing the type of effort on defense that he’s now having to play. He’ll turn things around

 

[AldoTrapani]

God damn Dame 2-12 from the field!!

 

[Natebishop3]

I think it’s time to blow it up.

 

[B-Roy]

Nassir is a game changer defensively.

 

[VenomXL]

Nice little run here. Defense leading to offense.

 

[AldoTrapani]

This past summer was absolute peak value for Dame. I can see us regret in about 2 years when Dame really falls off we didn’t start the rebuild now

 

[AldoTrapani]

Add Nassir to the list for me whose been impressive so far this year

Cj
Simons
Nassir

the rest are ass

 

[HailBlazers]

Arena's so empty...

 

[James lamphear]

Nice by Nurk and glad see guards fine him this should allow get engaged with his rest of his game.

 

[OneSport3]

Upper levels are empty, and that is usually the heart and soul of the arena. I’m in the lower bowl and the amount of empty seats is staggering.

We’re still in a pandemic right now. There are unvaccinated people that aren’t able to attend. Plus, there are people that are still not comfortable with large gatherings quite yet.

 

[illmatic99]

So dame is 20 for 62 this season from the field.

And 3 for 28 from 3.

Good Lord.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Thunder are going to be really impressive with their rebuild

 

[AldoTrapani]

So dame is 20 for 62 this season from the field.

And 3 for 28 from 3.

Good Lord.

Yikes

 

[B-Roy]

Dame completely fell asleep on that screen action.

 

[illmatic99]

Stone hands nurkic

 

[AldoTrapani]

God give me a rebuild over this shit. I wanna draft the next Morant
