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

[OneSport3]

Someone needs to teach Nurk what a jump stop is.

 

[Cugel]

Man, FT shooting is off for everyone.

 

[DDolla]

Blazers should be up by 50 by now

 

[HailBlazers]

I think we have more steals than all of last year.

 

[James lamphear]

CJ is not shooting well tonight.

 

[DDolla]

Someone needs to teach Nurk what a jump stop is.

Or he can watch Embiid with some Euro steps

 

[wizenheimer]

how the hell did this Clippers team beat Portland by 30? They look like a top-10 team tonight...in the lottery

 

[AldoTrapani]

Blazers defense is much MUCH improved. That’s clear. But damn clippers are bad wtf

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Yeah it's why I have him on ignore. I love to hit the "Show Ignored Content" button every once and a while and see the ridiculousness though.

I am able to resist doing that.

 

[VenomXL]

Bang! CJ three!

 

[Paine Tablet]

I am able to resist doing that.

I am able to resist blocking people in general. Now if he was revving his engine outside of my house I would have an issue.

 

[James lamphear]

Hit 2 big 3 by Dame and CJ put us up by 20 points.

 

[riverman]

Step on the gas and run these guys out of the gym....I want to see Greg Brown and Dennis Smith Jr get some burn tonight

 

[bobf]

Dame is amazing. Paul George is really hurting them.

 

[Cugel]

PG has to be exhausted. Being asked to carry the offense. If he was likeable I might feel bad for him.

Portland came out with no energy or focus. If you try to play an aggressive scheme but aren't focused on the nuances of running it or engaged enough, then it's possible to pick apart. Granted, our defense actually wasn't that bad, it was mostly us deciding to throw it straight to Clippers players for no reason like 20 separate times.

It wasn't the Blazers. It was the body snatchers.

 

[bobf]

Nurk with 13 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 1 block in 16 minutes.

 

[MickZagger]

George is such a baller! He’s led his team to 46 points half way through the 3rd

 

[BBert]

That offensive foul call on Dame at the end of the half was some bullshit. He was fouled twice on the drive, then the defender jumped under him while he was in the air. What the seriously fuck.

 

[brooklynballer]

It's so funny how people have specific negative biases towards players and will stick to them no matter what. It's just like the couple of guys that said Nurkic was trash last game when he had 17 & 8 in 23 minutes shooting 6-for-8.

Yah like the guy that sucks CJs and Nurk’s dicks in every game thread. Clearly you’re so narrow minded that you think peoples opinions of players are formed based on a single performance. Don’t give up your day job washing dishes there Torrey-boy.

 

[riverman]

CJ needs to drive and dish...his 3 pt shot isn't falling

 

[Cugel]

Jeez, below the belt man.

 

[bobf]

Nas you HAVE to shoot that 3

 

[VenomXL]

Clippers defense is swarming right now.

 

[Mr. Robot]

Nurk with 13 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 1 block in 16 minutes.

+ great defense

if he didnt struggle offensively, wed be speaking about the great all-around game hes having

 

[HailBlazers]

PG has to be exhausted. Being asked to carry the offense. If he was likeable I might feel bad for him.

Luckily the refs bail him out.

100%

The stubborn negative biases towards players and coaches are certainly a thing. We can see the bias in other people, but not ourselves.

 

[bobf]

I dunno about our 14 man roster, but the 9 man is right solid (and 10 man with Dennis is choice)

yeah that’s what I’m referring to.
