Game Thread GAME# 43: HORNETS @ BLAZERS - JANUARY 11, 2019 - FRIDAY, 7:00 PM, NBCSNW

[BonesJones]

No reason to complain, great half. But Lillards 3point Shooting has been not good since two weeks or so

"No reason to complain"

*complains*

 

[James lamphear]

Stats: 1 turnovers,19 fast break points, 10 blocks, 24 bench points.

 

[Jade Falcon]

I thought Charlotte was supposed to be better than this. They look as good as the Knicks or Phoenix.

 

[JDC]

Jordan Kent (aka MR. EXCITEMENT!)

He's the halftime show version of Joe Buck.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Offense came way too easy. They need to be careful not to get lackadaisical in the 3rd. Keep working

they are 8th in the east...bottom of the east compared to the west is not very good

 

[kjironman1]

Do any of you remember that period of the season at the beginning when they were winning and Jake was starting. Then they went through that time when wins were scarce and Jake wasn’t starting and then now Jake is starting and the offense looks better?

Yeah I noticed that also.

Good point.

The starting unit struggled to start the year. It was the bench that was the difference.

Nice to see both units playing well tonight though.

He does a lot of things off the ball I didn't expect him too. I guess Stotts putting pins in that voodoo doll really didn't hold Layman up.

Opens up a lot of looks and the defense has to pay attention to what he is doing. They don’t have to run plays for him. He just makes them.

 

[kjironman1]

Also seems like teams are starting to take notice of Nurkic. That has opened up looks for CJ also.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Blazers are so locked in on defense.

 

[James lamphear]

Game not over and need to stay focused.

 

[BonesJones]

Aminu fake shovel pass on the drive?!?!?!?!

 

[kjironman1]

That will teach me to say nice things about Jake!

 

[JDC]

Stop trying to give Terry credit, Lamar.

We all know he's got nothing to do with us playing well.

Absolutely!

 

[HailBlazers]

Aminu fake shovel pass on the drive?!?!?!?!

He's gotten so much better at driving, more of that and less threes

 

[BonesJones]

Uhhh oh

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Nurk got the foul but that was the guard going before he was set.

 

[illmatic99]

Basketball is a game of runs

 

[TBpup]

Cj dribbling into 3 defenders....it never gets old to him.

 

[ripcityboy]

Basketball is a game of runs

It's also a game of "Look at me."

 

[Labinot41]

Lillard b2b 3 !!!

 

[TBpup]

1 more assist and it's a 5x4 for Nurk. No steals so far.

 

[Darkwebs]

Charlotte's defense is a figment of their imagination.

 

[ripcityboy]

The actors in the Spirit Mountain Casino commercials are always about 30 years too young for their target audience.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Blazers are so locked in on defense.

I wish we were more consistent with it.

 

[James lamphear]

It so so Qt on offense until Dame drill b2b 3. Defense still solid.
