Game Thread GAME# 48: BLAZERS @ JAZZ - JANUARY 21, 2019 - MONDAY, 6:00 PM, NBCSNW

I'm liking Jake more and more. He is such a fluid athlete and isn't just a shooter. He has more in his bag than that. It's fun to watch him grow before our eyes as he gains confidence game after game.

What cheese would you compare him too?

 

[HailBlazers]

Nurkic, making me drink the koolaid. I just love the offense going through him, and the Dame / Nurk chemistry is really, really good.

Pound it! Bout time!!

Blazers out-jazzed the jazz. They scored inside, had 30 assists, and were really physical and kind of grabby. And it was nice to see a team other than Portland go stone-cold in the 4thQ

Morbier. The cheese is made in 2 layers, the bottom from the morning milking, and the top from the evening's milking. This represents the morning and night workouts and training that has shaped his growth. The bottom layer is covered in a thin layer of vegetable ash for preservation, awaiting the the next milking. This ash not only represents an earthy, grounded, natural essence, but also the ashes caused by Jake torching the net, and shooting pure fire.

Who doesn't enjoy a morning and evening milking....

I love it when they get grabby.

Only when Big John is on the road.

you beat me to it!

 

[Hoopguru]

If we go 500 from here on out that 46 wins..50/51 is very possible

 

[BlayZa]

Jake is a smart baller with skills.

we need more of that.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Not much to say, but what a great f-ing victory. A great team win on the road against a tough team.

I always knew that if this team has an athletic SF that can shoot, they can be a dangerous team. Let’s hope Jake can play like this consistently.

So things really are not all bad. The blazers did play tonight and they do have to travel and play tomorrow at OKC. However. Although it is a bit different and the time of the game was earlier. The Thunder had to play tonight in New York. So they have to travel also and they are dealing with weather issues also.

Not sure if this has been posted yet. Haven't read the entire game thread -

Tonight against Utah, Nurkic put up another monster stat line of 22 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists, and 6 blocks! The only other Blazer to record those stats….. Jusuf Nurkic back on March 9, 2017.

Nurk Fever is back!

 

[Bruno_Sabino]

Big win - tomorrow night another tough game. They will play b2b too

 

[twobullz]

Not sure what is up with Collins, he was not to impressive tonight.

 

[Scalma]

 

[hoopsjock]

AWESOME!

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

But one more turnover and Nurk would have posted a 6x6!

 

[Scalma]

Imagine being a fan of the team playing against Nurkic when he starts feeling himself and laughs at your players lmaooooo

 

[42N8Bounce]

That red line continues to climb!



The Blazers are now a season high 10 games over 500. 3 games ahead of last year's pace, and 3 games behind the 2014-15 (Aldridge's last year) pace.

This team is on a role!

No idea what that would feel like.

 

[Scalma]

No idea what that would feel like.

Who’s that

 

[HailBlazers]

@Dan Marang why don't you like Nurk?

 

[42N8Bounce]

Nice to see these great highlights by Dame on the ESPN recap -



With all of the Nurk and Jake hype, Dame just continues to deliver.

 

[theprunetang]

you beat me to it!

You do know you aren't supposed to make cheese out of that stuff, right?

 

[BonesJones]

@Dan Marang why don't you like Nurk?

Who's Dan Marang?

 

[James lamphear]

Not sure what is up with Collins, he was not to impressive tonight.

Not a good night the young big but always another game for him.

 

[BonesJones]

I was told our schedule wasnt easier because of road games?
