Game Thread GAME# 42: BULLS @ BLAZERS - JANUARY 9, 2019 - WEDNESDAY, 7:00 PM, NBCSNW

He's a smaller CJ.

Except he plays off the ball more and isolates less.

 

[LuckyShot]

These guys are so fucking bad and we're shooting almost 60%... how are we not up at least double digits right now?

 

[BonesJones]

The energy has been worse this quarter.

 

[ripcityboy]

Nurk's performance the last few weeks has really taken a lot of the pressure of Dame some.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

The one pass I've seen so far was a behind the head no look turnover. Sorry.

In terms of in the offense, I've seen one from the corner out to ET that went to ML. Then the weird no look to the wrong team.

I agree it's really the first time in a long time there looks to be less pressure on Dame to be awesome.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Dang. Am I not allowed to respectfully disagree?

I stated my opinion. Im not whiny about yours, you're whining about mine. Deal with it.

Two lines count as a lecture? What does your nine lines count as?

You have to have a fucking answer for EVERYTHING people say on here. Sometimes people just state an opinion in the moment. It doesn't require a response, it's just venting.

Your problem is....you don't GET that. You take it as some sort of slight against either the team or your pride.

Just.....leave people to their opinion. You really don't need to debate every statement someone makes with them. And I would appreciate it if you wouldn't do it with me. Because it's every fucking thing I've said. You do it EVERY game thread, and I've reached my limit with it.

Just stop. Thanks. Skip over my posts and ignore them if you have to.

CJ being filthy

 

[BonesJones]

CJ's off-footed floater is so good. I need to add that to my game.

 

[Scalma]

Layman misses threes shots and gets fucked by stotts before halftime.

 

[LuckyShot]

Bad teams are like a dream come true for scorers like CJ. The defense is so bad that he can get any shot he wants.

You're overreacting. Quit having a meltdown because I said we missed good shots and they made tough ones. Sit down.

Jesus dude.

 

[ripcityboy]

Way to put those guns to work, Evan.

Sometimes it’s not your night.

When did ET decide to play Elite Defense all of a sudden. That Houston game came out of no where for me and tonight he's had 4 possessions where's he's played basically perfect defense. I say this is someone who has complained like crazy about ET too...

 

[BonesJones]

Drawing a foul when crashing to offensive boards should count as an offensive rebound.

Ed Davis and Nurk would love that.

It's weird. He's really inconsistent.

He's a smart defender but he's matchup dependent. Against a speedier wing he'll get burned, but against bigger guards that are used to bullying smaller defenders he holds his own. Harden likes knocking people back to create space but it didn't work on Turner very well.

 

[ripcityboy]

Nurk in the post makes all the difference.

 

[Titan]

Just tap it in chief

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Seems like the refs want this game to end as quick as possible. Not a lot of ft's even though there's been a lot of contact by both teams.

 

[ripcityboy]

How the hell Sean Miller has never been to the Final Four with talent like Marrkanen and Trier blows my mind.

The worst part of his defense is some of the fouls he commits. Little slap fouls on layups.

Good recruiter, overrated coach.

 

[Titan]

Man we play so dumb

Yeah he's handsy and reaches a lot. Sometimes it works and looks great, the rest of the time it fails miserably. Kind of like... literally everything else he does on the court.

 

[BonesJones]

That play NEVER works.

I think Zach has some of those same issues too.

 

[hoopsjock]

He's been better in the past.

I know

 

[KingSpeed]

Spurs and Rockets lose. We move up to 5th with win.
