Game Thread GAME# 45: BLAZERS @ MAGIC - MARCH 26, 2021 - FRIDAY, 5:00, NBCSNW

[UKRAINEFAN]

Did you see where Little had to explain the offense to Powell. He pointed to the corner as to say "you go stand there."

 

[PHXBlazer1]

So nice to have another shot creator

 

[B-Roy]

Kind of feels like Norm could just win this game by himself.

 

[Serbian]

Nurkic dog shit so far. Sure he rusty but damn totally unimpressive

 

[Natebishop3]

Nurk is gonna foul out of this game.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Yaaaa Nassir Little can’t shoot for shit that shit earlier in the year was flukey as fuck

Is he still here? I thought I traded him and a draft pick for Larry Nance yesterday.....

 

[B-Roy]

I'm glad we don't have Bacon just so we don't have to hear what Kent would say whenever he makes a bucket.

 

[AldoTrapani]

I’m sorry Nurk is garbage imo

 

[Natebishop3]

Seriously though... wtf refs. Two SUPER tacky fouls on Nurk.

But I watched a dude flat out shove DJJ on the other end and that wasn't an offensive foul?

 

[Natebishop3]

You guys need to simmer the fuck down on Nurk. Dude has been out all season. It's his first game back for fucks sake.

He looks super out of shape though. Not sure why.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Not gonna be too hard on Nurk yet..but damn he looks bad

 

[James lamphear]

Nurk is struggling right now is first outing along time but still got 6 boards.

 

[illmatic99]

Nurk hasnt played 5 on 5 in like 3 months. This is gonna take a while. But I love it already. Missed this guy so much

 

[Natebishop3]

Nurk has 3 turnovers and 4 fouls in 9 minutes

 

[B-Roy]

I think Nurk looks fine. His mistakes are just typical Nurk mistakes. Compounding bad plays with more bad plays. He needs to calm down.

 

[Natebishop3]

Simons is good at one thing. I mean.... I'm glad he's good at any thing, but dude needs to add to his game.

 

[B-Roy]

2 quarters and I can already tell Norm knows how to play proper defense better than most of the team.

 

[Natebishop3]

I love Enes.

 

[Natebishop3]

CJ comes in for Powell?

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Simons is good at one thing. I mean.... I'm glad he's good at any thing, but dude needs to add to his game.

Are you talking about shooting 3's or dunk contests?

 

[Natebishop3]

Are you talking about shooting 3's or dunk contests?

Well, dunk contests unfortunately don't help us win games.

 

[Serbian]

Reality check. Kanter as awful he is on defense still way better than nurkic. I think it’s imperative that nurk doesn’t play more than Kanter in minutes moving foward

 

[B-Roy]

Seems like RoCo hasn't missed in March.

 

[MadeFromDust]

Gonna take a while for Nurk to get back into the flow

 

[Natebishop3]

The sad thing is that we have the role players to win a championship. Guys like RoCo, Powell, DJJ, etc. We just don't have the the #2 star that puts us over the top. You add another legit superstar to this team and we could win a title.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Finally starting to pull away.

 

[B-Roy]

Gary has 6 points in 23 minutes in Toronto. 3/8, no rebounds, no assists.

 

[James lamphear]

Nice CJ dish out assist he got 4 we starting get some distance in this game need to continue.

 

[DDolla]

Sorry guys but Nurk need to work hard to get in shape

 

[Natebishop3]

Gary has 6 points in 23 minutes in Toronto. 3/8, no rebounds, no assists.

That's a very Gary line.
