Game Thread GAME# 51: BLAZERS @ JAZZ - APRIL 8, 2021 - THURSDAY, 7:00, NBCSNW

[SIeepwalker]

Kanter is number one for put backs on O rebounds in the league. He'll play. Melo will play. Simons may be the guy Terry has to question.

Melo playing should NOT be a no brainer

 

[DDolla]

Easy bet here, Jazz 21-0 at home. Taking the Jazz

 

[Mr. Robot]

i predict a beatdown

They literally lost their first two home games. lol

We've not had a game where dame refuses to lose and wills the team to a win in a while. Hope he got some rest yesterday and comes out blazing

 

[AldoTrapani]

Yikes Lillard fell off! I really thought he had it this year ah well

 

[Strenuus]

Yikes Lillard fell off! I really thought he had it this year ah well

Shouldn't this make you happy?

 

[maxiep]

So you want guys playing more minutes? I’m confused.

The altitude means you get tired more easily. You can play the same minutes, but instead of playing a 10 min stretch, you play two sets of five with shorter breaks between.

Is that clearer?

Not this time my friend.
You should know better as well.
The Jazz are on the 2nd night and the Blazers watched their game from Salt Lake last night.
This will be a dog fight. Might even go to OT again for them.

 

[Darkwebs]

If Clarkson doesn't play, this could be impactful, as he always seems to go off on the Blazers.

 

[Labinot41]

Stay healthy please please please please please please please please please

Yikes Lillard fell off! I really thought he had it this year ah well

With CJ & Powell now scorer's Dame's scoring will drop unless they bring DJ back in the starting line up. He an still be the man shooting 3's in the clutch, if his heads right. He been beat up and family is important and demanding so I think he needs a few game rest to re-energize and reboot.

 

[blazedanugz]

I actually have a good feeling about tonight.
Nurks playing
Clark son doubtful(that’s huge)
They played an OT game in a really competitive game

plus I just think we’re tired of hearing how we can’t beat good teams (I know it’s true)

 

[Scalma]

If Clarkson doesn't play, this could be impactful, as he always seems to go off on the Blazers.

true but to me that just means someone else off their bench will turn into prime Reggie Miller tonight.

 

[Mr. Robot]

Stay healthy please please please please please please please please please

inflammation is not unusual, dame had it, powell had it, nurk had it, it happens

not exactly an injury, lets put it that way

 

[Mr. Robot]

nurk either has bone issues or just a terrible fucking luck

hes had three fractures while with the blazers (two leg and one hand fracture) and there is a story (not confirmed though) that nurk broke his leg while he was practicing bball in slovenia as a kid

but if nurk has bone issues, i think that information would see the light of the day, cause doctors would figure it out for sure, or at least thats what i believe

 

[DDolla]

I’m just happy that are next game is against another garbage team

 

[DDolla]

inflammation is not unusual, dame had it, powell had it, nurk had it, it happens

not exactly an injury, lets put it that way

Imagine we trade Nurk and CJ for Vucevic and Harden.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Helpful!

Why doesn’t all the other mvp candidates have these issues ?

 

[AldoTrapani]

Helpful!

Still will get destroyed

 

[AldoTrapani]

So Utah played yesterday, went to OT, no Jordan Clarkson what’s the excuse today when Blazers get destroyed

My bad.....
UTAH-132
PDX- 104

 

[THE HCP]

Is it just @THE HCP ..........

 

[Hoopguru]

Why doesn’t all the other mvp candidates have these issues ?

Joker, has a an inside out game and often times the Offense goes through him which gives him versatility in scoring and asist.
Harden is basically unstoppable when he goes to the hoop, couple that with shooting, asissts and FT's? oh and ref help....
Dame is not out of the running by means, especially if the team does ok down the stretch but he must get them onto at least second round. JMO

 

[Labinot41]

good morning in the morning. Please dont let them score 180

 

[TBpup]

Mitchell going right at Dame/CJ.
