Game Thread GAME# 45: BLAZERS @ KINGS - JANUARY 14, 2019 - MONDAY, 7:00 PM, NBCSNW

[LuckyShot]

That's different than the Lillard way. He's doing it so that they don't handcheck him off screens. Harden creates all the contact.

Haha as if the refs call handchecking when it's not against Harden or some other league approved star.

Kings just out hustling the blazers tonight. I think this is one of the games that people say the Kings should win based on schedule. Blazers back to back flying in from mile high. Plus the heartbreaking loss does not help.

 

[illmatic99]

Deja vu

 

[Rhal]

What a beauty of a pass by Dame.

 

[Boise Blazer]

Fox has his Harden mode activated tonight...

 

[Sheldon Shape]

I prefer Aminu guarding Jokic.

LMAO. So sad.

 

[TBpup]

Starting backcourt....12-37
Starting frontcourt...12-21

Perhaps it's not about the talent....but about how the talent is used. #Coaching

 

[BonesJones]

Oh look, Nurk got the ball and got an insane reverse and-one!

If only we involved him in this game where we're struggling for buckets!!!

 

[Strenuus]

I love this Kings broadcast team. Ripping on WCS for his shot selection. So refreshing.

 

[Rhal]

He is who he is, a glorified 6th man miscast as a #2 option.

I disagree with this very strongly. CJ would be fine as a 6th man but as a #2 option who avgs 20 a game and shoots as efficiently as he does, how is that miscast?

 

[BonesJones]

CJ doesn't help rebounding at all. Just stands there with the ball in front of his face.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Not really sure why Dames jacked up 24 shots and they stopped going to Nurk and moving around him.

Portlands not going to win cery often when Dame and CJ are that inefficient.

 

[LuckyShot]

Holy shit we doubled on a ball screen and essentially forced a turnover. Wow.

 

[EGame]

why make fts?

 

[VenomXL]

Chief...

 

[BonesJones]

I love this Kings broadcast team. Ripping on WCS for his shot selection. So refreshing.

And they're known as "homers" too.

 

[TBpup]

I disagree with this very strongly. CJ would be fine as a 6th man but as a #2 option who avgs 20 a game and shoots as efficiently as he does, how is that miscast?

Because even on his efficient nights (which are off-set by bricklaying nights) his defense is atrocious and tough to have in the game for 35 minutes per night.

 

[Darkwebs]

3 straight missed FTs will not do it. SMH

 

[illmatic99]

ugh Aminu, useless

 

[Strenuus]

Fuckin' Aminu. lmao.

 

[BonesJones]

Sometimes I wish I could just shoot free throws for these guys. My goodness.

 

[Rhal]

ET and Aminue are a liability at the line, with the ball in their hands, and from the corners. Why exactly are they BOTH in the game at the same time?

 

[BonesJones]

Oh look, sagging the pick n roll lets them get to 5 feet away from the rim where Nurkic has to pick between guarding the lob or the shot.

Terrible ass scheme.

 

[BonesJones]

Yes Hurd, it IS really hard for the big men in this scheme!!!

 

[TBpup]

Aminu and Turner in at the same time.

#Moronic

 

[BonesJones]

Nurk has to fade away because there's 8 people within 5 feet of him.

 

[Rhal]

Because even on his efficient nights (which are off-set by bricklaying nights) his defense is atrocious and tough to have in the game for 35 minutes per night.

So only those who aren't bad at D can be a starter in this league? That would remove the majority of the starters in this league.

 

[EGame]

nice d. that should get you some wins

 

[BonesJones]

Yeah lets allow them to shoot!

 

[LuckyShot]

Game.
