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

[Jade Falcon]

We need to man up against Gobert and Crowder. Our bigs need to step up in this game.

 

[James lamphear]

Last year had big winning streak when we play them here and came out ahead and there streak hopefully we follow suit tonight.

 

[BonesJones]

Rubio back in time for us? I thought we were "lucky"?

 

[oldmangrouch]

There is a good chance we will know tonight's outcome by the end of the 1st quarter.

 

[BonesJones]

Our passing is phenomenal right now.

 

[ripcityboy]

Nurk has to be more active against the better centers in the league or Utah and Denver will eat us alive.

 

[TBpup]

Apparently the Blazers have noticed Jake cutting and figured out other people can do it as well. Turtle movement rubbing off on the team.

 

[TBpup]

Blazers with 4 fouls in the first 3:18. Could be a lot of FT's for the Jazz this quarter.

 

[BonesJones]

If only we could play defense right now...

 

[BonesJones]

Our defense is fucking garbage right now.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Great. We got shitty, fouly CJ tonight.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Once again, we are giving up points galore to a team that isn't that effective on offense.

Are you saying this in general or that he's not being active enough in this game so far?

 

[James lamphear]

We need box and get on defense boards.

Like every quarter when playing in SLC.

Vanderpool: Look at all those backdoor cuts!

Stotts: Yeah. We should do more of those when Layman isn't out there. In fact, tell him never to look at me directly in the eyes.

 

[illmatic99]

Can we milk that Dame-Nurk pick and roll til they stop it? No need for iso CJ at the moment

 

[BlazerBeav]

Nurk got fouled on that post move, but no whistles at that end.

Nurk gets the ball up top, we score easily on back doors several plays in a row. Then we go like 10 possessions without going to it. So frustrating.

 

[TBpup]

Instant offense from Layman!

 

[ripcityboy]

Are you saying this in general or that he's not being active enough in this game so far?

No. I'm saying that only against a few select centers. Usually he's pretty tough against good post score scorers.

 

[BonesJones]

Dame you had a layin wtf is wrong with you right now...

 

[BlazerBeav]

This looks familiar....ugh.

 

[illmatic99]

interesting lineup. Is Jake our SG?

 

[BonesJones]

Dame you had a layin wtf is wrong with you right now...

Thank you. Smh.

 

[ripcityboy]

I gotta pick up those tires.

 

[illmatic99]

Gobert was right there to swat it

 

[BonesJones]

3 forward lineup. I like it.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Dame you had a layin wtf is wrong with you right now...

We're gun shy against Gobert right now.

 

[BonesJones]

Gobert was right there to swat it

Nah, he had his left hand. Would've gotten to the backboard first.
