Game Thread GAME# 5: BLAZERS @ WARRIORS - JANUARY 1, 2021 - FRIDAY, 7:30 PM, NBATV & NBCSNW

[James lamphear]

Didn't finish strong that last minute of the quarter.

 

[Tince]

Why is Kerr so slow to call timeouts?

 

[illmatic99]

some weird lineups here.

 

[BonesJones]

Jones becoming one of my favorite players; really like his cool demeanor after he does something great.

He's the anti-Whiteside.

 

[DDolla]

Now Curry will sit and this is when you finish the game in the first 5 mins

 

[BonesJones]

Why is Kerr so slow to call timeouts?

Probably because he knows it's hopeless with his dogshit roster.

 

[TBpup]

Good to see Giles get some run. And it didn't take long to get DJJ a baseline dunk. The rest of the team in four games = 1. Giles in his first two minutes = 1.

And that dive, save, scoop is something I've never seen before. Wow!

 

[Serbian]

I love giles dude fights crawls very physical and athletic this kid gotta get 15 min a game

 

[James lamphear]

You need energy guy and Giles kind of did that.

[Chris Craig]

Up by 18 to start the 4th. Good position. Got to be careful fouls don't become trouble here. DJJ and Nurkic with 4. Lillard and Simons with 3

 

[bobf]

Dame still looks a little out of sync, but this is the best he's looked since the bubble....Roco and Jones don't supply much offense but they are really disruptive on defense. Lots of energy with those two.....Nurkic, what happened?

and damn, the Warriors have gone from an NBA champion to a lottery team in 3 years. Quite the fall

I suspect we will gradually get better at incorporating RoCo and DJJ into our offense as familiarity grows. But they are good without much O anyway.

 

[Tince]

I would like a stress free win, please take care of the next 4 minutes.

 

[illmatic99]

nurk needs to get in shape. he looks fat and immobile. that's not Nurk

 

[bobf]

Nurk is so erratic near the rim.

 

[Tince]

Probably because he knows it's hopeless with his dogshit roster.

Stop making excuses for the guy with an MVP, all-star, #1 & #2 picks under 32!

 

[bobf]

nurk needs to get in shape. he looks fat and immobile. that's not Nurk

Yeah he’s a step behind contesting shots.

 

[JoshuaHall]

1) Nurkic is soft as charmin around the rim
2) This looks like grade school basketball
3) Stotts needs to call timeout because #2

 

[BlazerBeav]

Great block by Melo.

 

[bobf]

I would like a stress free win, please take care of the next 4 minutes.

Feels like you’ll get a stress free win. I want some more Harry.

 

[Tince]

Nurk is playing like I expected him to coming off an injury, but since I saw him play well in the bubble, it's harder for me to accept.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Nurk looks horrible

 

[Chris Craig]

5 on Nurkic

 

[BigGameDamian]

Nurkic only plays 15 minutes. What's going on with him?

 

[Tince]

Nurkic only plays 15 minutes. What's going on with him?

It was noted he was out of shape when he came to camp, late. This is on him.

 

[B-Roy]

Our offense is just iso iso iso again.

 

[illmatic99]

Offense is so stagnant

 

[bobf]

Giles goaded him into a dumb shot.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Nurkic 5 fouls in 15 minutes in a game we are up by 20?

 

[B-Roy]

Holy shit. Move the ball. This is the perfect time to try different sets.
