Game Thread GAME# 53: BLAZERS @ CELTICS - FEBRUARY 4, 2018 - SUNDAY, 9:00 AM (PST), NBCSNW

[Labinot41]

We gonna lose this

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

didn't need to leave him, Aminu.

 

[DaLincolnJones]

how many possessions in a row was that solo or jacking weak stuff?

 

[Shaboid]

I get the 'switch all picks' defense if you have the Celtics roster. They can get away with it. When we do it though, it never works.

 

[EGame]

I legitimately do not understand how Nurk makes layups look so hard. It doesn't make sense.

 

[Cippy91]

I only just now realized Kyrie Irving isn't playing.

Morris, Irving, and smart aren’t playing. Would make this an embarrassing loss. Even if we win that’s a bad win.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Ainge has an eye for athletic wings who can 3 and D.

Everyone does. The problem is that a) we don't normally draft in the top 3 and b) we don't have another Billy King laying around to gift us picks.

Nurkic can be a bit sloppy.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Mind blowing how we keep collapsing against bad teams with late leads.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Lillard, Turner and Connaughton 3 for 23!

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Nurkic can be a bit sloppy.

especially in the second halves of games.

 

[DaLincolnJones]

Nurkic can be a bit sloppy.

playing with four fouls

 

[BlazerBeav]

Fuck fuck fuck.

 

[EGame]

oh well

 

[Cippy91]

Horrible loss incoming. Worst of the season easily

 

[julius]

This team plays so dumb at times.

 

[BigGameDamian]

especially in the second halves of games.

Must be why he's on the block.

 

[illmatic99]

Team falling apart

 

[EGame]

nice nurk.

 

[BlazerBeav]

We are going to lose ANOTHER game when we somehow missed a team's best player. New Orleans without Davis. Washington without Wall. Houston without Harden. Just inexcusable.

 

[Shaboid]

And Nurk is gone.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Smh Nurk

 

[KeepOnRollin]

That was a bad call though.

 

[Labinot41]

Nurkic 4 fouls in the 4th quarter. Good job Center of the future

 

[Gronk Brady]

This is prime example of why I want to trade Nurk for DeAndre... Blazers were up 6, Nurk blows layup again that would have put us up 8... then Celts come down hit a three and entire game changes. I like Nurk and think he will be very good in time, but Dame/CJ need to win now

 

[julius]

Even if they pull out a win, this should count as a loss.

 

[BlazerBeav]

That's off Tatum.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Nurk is his own worse enemy

 

[Shaboid]

Ed Davis should be our center in the 4th, probably.

 

[MickZagger]

Everyone does. The problem is that a) we don't normally draft in the top 3 and b) we don't have another Billy King laying around to gift us picks.

Ojeleye, Yabusele, Nader... Jaylen Brown was seen as a stretch where he was taken. Or maybe Stevens just has that Popovich magic and makes these guys look better than they are.
