Game Thread GAME# 50: BLAZERS @ CLIPPERS - JANUARY 30, 2018 - TUESDAY, 7:30 PM (PST), TNT

[LuckyShot]

I really wish Nurk would learn to limit those quick flip shots. He's much better when he's not rushing his shot. I think it stems from a severe fear of getting his shot blocked.

 

[H.C.]

Good halftime adjustment by Stotts to change that high pick and roll to a side pick and roll.

 

[KingSpeed]

how come they don't call def 3 secs on nurkic?

 

[BlazerBeav]

Credit where it’s due, Stotts adjusted well at half to the Clippers defense.

 

[BonesJones]

@Jade Falcon still pissed?

 

[Jon]

This biased ass announcing is really making me want to mute the tv

 

[julius]

I liked Damians last hair-do. This one will take longer to get used to (and I realize it's not hugely different).

 

[BonesJones]

Napiers been bad lately.

 

[ripcityboy]

Doc, even Aminu can beat you sometimes bro.

 

[Cippy91]

A lot of complaints about dames fg percentages earlier in the season but over the last month he has really picked it up. Around that all star break he always evens it out. Right on time

 

[Darkwebs]

When did Shabazz become a superstar? He just got away with an obvious travel

 

[Scalma]

Is DeAndre even on the court?

The refs got caught by his shabazzle dazzle.

Trade rumors discussion effecting his play?

 

[Jade Falcon]

@Jade Falcon still pissed?

Nope. But we SHOULD be playing like this against this team.

 

[BonesJones]

Is DeAndre even on the court?

He's a shell of himself. He's not a star. He's falling off and it's obvious.

 

[Darkwebs]

OK, I watch a lot of basketball, and I don't know who T. Wallace is.

It's because he's a computer-generated player from the NBA2K games.

 

[42N8Bounce]

Ahhhh. THIS Blazer team is fun to watch.

 

[BonesJones]

Nope. But we SHOULD be playing like this against this team.

Well we are. Just took a half to get there!

 

[EGame]

Is DeAndre even on the court?

I love what Nurkic is doing on defense. Basically just staying in the paint and not even guarding Jordan pretty much anywhere. Dude is nothing without CP3.

 

[Shaboid]

I could announce a better game if me and Mike Rice both drank a fifth together first. This is terrible.

I think this is why we keep nurk. He has a lot to learn. If he works on his flaw this coming offseason, he can be a much better next season. He's still young.

 

[LuckyShot]

I love Shabazz. I'm going to be sad when we trade him or let him walk in free agency.

 

[Scalma]

It’d go down as Olsheys worst trade. Doesn’t even matter who’s involved. He’s so overrated, gtfoh.

 

[Darkwebs]

Cuz he has a gigantic dad who will hurt them if they do.

 

[EGame]

I love Shabazz. I'm going to be sad when we trade him or let him walk in free agency.

It will be sad, but I do hope we try to trade him. Try and get something decent, but if not I'll gladly watch him for at least the rest of the season.

 

[BonesJones]

We've seemed to find that consistency that's been so fleeting the past couple years. Not getting trapped and losing to bad teams. Lillards been phenomenal lately. Good defense and balance between efficient scoring and distribution.

 

[H.C.]

Nope. But we SHOULD be playing like this against this team.

Sorta expected tho right?
I mean players returning. A trade just happened and players get to do more, which makes them harder to guard.

Spoiler

I like how you can now stream the radio broadcast of games online.

looking like 6-3 instead of the 9 game win streak I predicted. not bad.
