Game Thread Game #5 BLAZERS VS. CLIPPERS - OCTOBER 29, 2021 - FRIDAY, 7:00 PM, ROOT SPORTS

[B-Roy]

I noticed that too. Definitely a reputation non call.

I also noticed that the team started playing a little better when RoCo was taken out.

RoCo is being targeted at the point of attack.

 

[julius]

Not trying to throw RoCo and Nurk under the bus but like, this team is clearly better with Nance and Zeller in the game or am I wrong? I think for all of RoCo's good off-ball defense he gets beat off the dribble a lot. Having 3 guys in the starting lineup who cannot regularly keep their man in front of them is just difficult. Your defense is constantly in rotation.

Nurk's peak is better than Zeller, but Zeller is just way more consistent. Never know which Nurk you're gonna get.

1000000% correct

 

[riverman]

I like this Lillard, Simons, Little, Nance and Zeller lineup

 

[B-Roy]

Cody is that dude

 

[FlashWad]

I love Cody, best backup center we have had in years.

 

[Strenuus]

Dame trusting zeller.

 

[B-Roy]

When Cody gets the ball in pick and roll I feel something good about to happen. When Nurk gets it I hold my breath.

Nurk is the al farouq aminu of centers.

Man Dame is bad this year with his jumper smh

 

[FlashWad]

Man Dame is bad this year with his jumper smh

It is so weird to see. Like I thought your shot is the last thing to go?

 

[AldoTrapani]

Like I know I go overboard and overreact with Dame but like even his biggest supporter can’t deny this shit

 

[B-Roy]

Cody is starter quality. I mean he’s at least as good as Zubac right?

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Way to hang in there and play tough and take the lead!

 

[julius]

Much better finish to the quarter. Almost as if starting 3 players 6'3" isn't a good idea.

 

[Strenuus]

A lead after giving up a 20-5 run? Okay.

 

[Hoopguru]

CZ knows the gane!

 

[Tince]

Way to hang in there and play tough and take the lead!

Like the Memphis 1st quarter, it feels like we should be down double digits after 1. Hopefully that outcome repeats itself!

 

[Cugel]

Time to make some trades to Pacers, Pistons, etc.

 

[julius]

Remember when the team had a 2nd guy doing the arena entertainment shit? Whatever happened to him?

 

[B-Roy]

League pass is so bad. Giving me errors every 10 minutes. Their engineers didn’t even bother catching the exception, just expose the Java exception…

 

[B-Roy]

Larry keeps his man in front so well. Why the fuck is RoCo back in.

 

[bobf]

I missed the very end of the period how did we take the lead?

 

[BonesJones]

I do.
Pretty much every game. Just don't get a chance to watch very long. Most games are over around 10 pm. I get up for work around 4am.
Like you both. Your content is very good.

Yeah it's tough with game times, we've started uploading postgame stream audio to Spotify to try to make things more convenient to listen in the following day!

Glad you enjoy.

 

[bobf]

Shot clock baby!!

 

[B-Roy]

Nurkic realizes someone is open at the three point line every time he’s rolling right?

 

[bobf]

Nurk with the tip in!

 

[DDolla]

Nurk is just damn soft

 

[bobf]

Forget the Nurk 3’s please

 

[B-Roy]

Nurk and RoCo….good lord

 

[MickZagger]

This is looking Stott’s type defense. Yawn
