Game Thread Game #45 - BLAZERS @ BOSTON CELTICS - JANUARY 21, 2022 - FRIDAY - 4:30 (PDT) ROOT SPORTS

[Titan]

Wow we started the 4th cold, then Boston goes cold for most of the end of the 4th. Crazy

 

[Chris Craig]

Re-sign Nurkic

 

[illmatic99]

Hell of a win. We owed them one

my most favorite win of the season. Missing three starters on the road against a rested team.

 

[DDolla]

My prediction was 0-6 road games. Why are we winning games?

 

[Predator]

Just like at Miami - take a lead into the fourth and fall apart.

Fall apart by holding them scoreless for 6.5 minutes then winning the game by 4.
I’ll take it.

 

[illmatic99]

Maybe they should have played Pritchard again. Oh whats that.. he's a scrub?

 

[Cugel]

Nurk slayed tonight. He won the game.

 

[DDolla]

Tell me what we won? A basketball road game - Michael Holton

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Where you Nurk fucks at now? Go to bed

It's Nork.

 

[Scalma]

Me vs the trade Nurk crowd.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Where the Nurk haters at?

If you keep him involved, he's going to produce. Fortunately, he has a point guard like Simons keeping him involved and getting the best out of him.

I'm right here. If we were to get Ben Simmons, I'd want Nurk traded. If we're not absolutely positive that we can re-sign him, I want him traded. I want good value back for him but most likely, I want him gone. We know that he can dominate the game when he feels like it but we also know that sometimes he just doesn't feel like it.

 

[Scalma]

If CJ is here next year I want Cronin to do a press conference because that’s a terrorist act.

Remember Nurk is only good cuz of Dame

would you dump him at this point?

 

[Scalma]

would you dump him at this point?

if you’re asking if I care what we get in return, no I don’t.

Simons yes. CJ no.

 

[riverman]

Enjoy the win.....Nurk was awesome....

 

[DDolla]

Trade coming…..

 

[illmatic99]

about 15 seconds before the tatum missed three at the end, this Heinsohn wannabe Scalabrine was talking so much shit about Nurkic supposedly being unable to hang with Tatum. This was after how he kept saying Nurk was one of our worse defenders all night.

Jusuf didn't let Tatum turn the corner and forced a three point attempt.

Dumbass. Read a scouting report once. He's our best defender by far.

Except I wish Simons would have looked for Nurk before taking that 3-pointer he missed just before Boston took the lead. I didn't think that was a great possession.

fuck that ginger fuck rapaport played that character first.

 

[e_blazer]

Great win. Nice having a coach who will call for the intentional foul instead of letting the opponents get a three off.

Blazers Uprise Postgame Show!
Blazers 109, Celtics 105
Portland with a gritty win in Boston. Nurk led the way with a monster game 29/17/6. We want to know, are you happy when they win right now? Come let us know in chat and discuss the game!

Stotts catching strays tonight love it

How are you supposed to dominate a game when your starting backcourt was chucking up shots without getting the ball to him??? Make it make sense.

it is reeeeaalllly hard to trade an engaged nurk. if we can get him this sorta usage when dame comes back, there really isn't a better replacement

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

CJ did make five threes and shot 5 for 7 on the free throw line, so I don't think he hurt his trade value tonight.

I wish I got a dollar every time I heard someone say “he doesn’t have games like this often”

seems to happen a lot. That narrative got LEAKS

Our announcers made a point of showing Nurk's defense.
