Game Thread GAME# 41: BLAZERS @ ROCKETS - JANUARY 10, 2018 - WEDNESDAY, 5:00 PM (PST), NBCSNW

How has Turner looked?

Hit a 3... Barely played. Should have Gerald Green on our team playing over him but... yeah...

 

[BrianFromWA]

Zach is showing me something. Is he showing you something, Mr. De Niro?

 

[BonesJones]

Zach got fouled bad on that...

 

[BonesJones]

Why we let Paul get continous wide open mid-range jumpers is beyond me.

 

[BonesJones]

We're driving weak as fuck.

 

[BonesJones]

Fucking Pat man...

 

[SIeepwalker]

Well, pretty bad quarter

 

[illmatic99]

He has a little bit of that yo-yo hesitation dribble...

Can't mess around with CP around. He's a master at getting those steals (slaps, but still)

 

[BonesJones]

He should just take two weeks off and let it completely heal.

If he plays, it is completely healed... He's playing, so it is.

 

[ripcityboy]

Nothing is falling tonight.

 

[BonesJones]

We need to have the weak-side FT extended player cut on drives on the other side of the court.

We'll have a guard drive down the left side of the lane, and the guy FT-extended on the right side of the court is spotting up.

However, the driver doesn't have an angle for the kickout as the FT-extended spot up shooters defender is crashing down on the drive. This is leading to hard shots at the rim and turnovers...

The FT-extended guy needs to cut to give the driver an open window. Should result in open layups.

 

[SIeepwalker]

Zach is good

 

[BonesJones]

Nothing is falling tonight.

Not exactly taking the best shots.

 

[BonesJones]

Not exactly taking the best shots.

That Shabazz shot was a good shot. And it fell. Gotta get more looks like that.

 

[SIeepwalker]

BAD shot Napier

 

[illmatic99]

HOU defense looks a lot better than OKC's. Gotta move the ball around

 

[BonesJones]

Connaughton has a habit of hand-checking guys driving against him when his body is in great position. That last drive is a great example. If he just gets his hand off him, it's perfect defense and Tucker misses a wild shot. That's a bail out foul.

 

[ripcityboy]

Collins is going to be a stud when he fills out. Can't believe he is 20 and playing in the league right now. That is insane.

 

[SIeepwalker]

Share that damn ball

 

[BonesJones]

I hate that shot by Connaughton. Way too many contested, off-balance, off-the-dribble midrange jumpshots...

 

[ripcityboy]

Paul, STFU.

 

[BonesJones]

Nurk can't finish.

 

[BonesJones]

Nurk box him out and move him backwards and grab the board...

 

[SIeepwalker]

sigh............. This game is awful

 

[Optimistic Bob]

C'mon Nurk !! YOU GOTTA DUNK THAT !!

 

[ripcityboy]

I don't know what we are going to get from our center position if Nurk keeps playing like this.

 

[Labinot41]

Nurkic WTF

 

[BonesJones]

Nurk...

If Nurk had Collins creativity and footwork... man...

 

[illmatic99]

Dame bringing us nothing, and shitty Nurk is back

 

[rotary111]

Finishing at the rim. Nurkic come on.
