Game Thread GAME# 54: SPURS @ BLAZERS - FEBRUARY 7, 2019 - THURSDAY, 7:30 PM, TNT

[LuckyShot]

We are working them on both ends right now.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Looks like Mo was trying to do more than he is capable of.

 

[riverman]

Nurk embarrassed Lamarcus on D

 

[julius]

Is it possible, albeit EXTREMELY EARLY, that Curry, Hood and Layman could make the Blazers bench....good?

he needs to break a sweat

 

[LuckyShot]

Loving the defense.

 

[riverman]

I love watching Nurk set his feet and Aldridge just bounce off him

 

[LuckyShot]

BDL

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

So it looks like Hood got Zachs minutes at least for tonight?

I wonder if Terry wants to Zach and Meyers alternate game by game. He's done it before.

 

[TBpup]

Nice 2nd quarter. Layman/Hood causes problems.

 

[crandc]

Pretty dumb to foul someone taking a desperation 3 with under a second left

 

[trailblazer18]

Great second quarter! Layman had a nice and long run. He is bringing it right now. If he keeps this up and keeps getting better, he can be enough to take us another step. Not enough to be a contender, but enough to advance in the playoffs.

Yep.

Offensively, yes. Have to improve defensively.

pop looked defeated after that one lol

I am watching this and the team really needs a true PF to start if they want sucess in the playoffs cause the team seems off a little this is why the Blazers really needed to trade either Hark or Turner. The reason i believe this is Aminu might be able to play the PF in spurts but think of against the Warriors -- the team all West teams have to go through to get to the finals. I am not sure Aminu can defend Green also not sure it's fair to ask him too since Aminu is a tweener a tad to big to be a SF and too little against traditional PF types.

 

[Jade Falcon]

I like Nurk's effort. For every mistake he's made, he's made up for it either in Defense or scoring. I like that.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Im not sure I was just making an observation, Im sure Stotts will try multiple line ups. Maybe he think Zach needs to wait until next year?

 

[James lamphear]

With all the scorer on the 2nd unit I would put Zach at the 5. Leonard cannot play a lick of defense especially he no rim protector.

 

[Jade Falcon]

14 points for Nurk. LaBitch can't stop him.

 

[TBpup]

Jake with double digits by halftime....AGAIN!

 

[DollaBel]

Its going to annoy me for the rest of the season how fucking good we’d be if we just gave up a first round pick to get Mirotic ffs. Not a fan of Zach being out of the rotation and Leonard getting minutes over him

 

[hoopsjock]

I'm at the game and don't have time to read the comments but I swear Layman wasn't going to play in the 1st half. Stotts had Hood coming in for Harkless not Layman and then Hood had to run back to the locker room so Stotts had to put Layman in. Then the rotation got all messed up.

 

[crandc]

Shaq gives Nurc some love.

 

[riverman]

This game is so much fun I might have to make a second batch of popcorn

 

[42N8Bounce]

Ha! Shaq just said he’s paying Nurk’s fine for the technical for hanging on the rim! Way to go Shaq.

 

[trailblazer18]

Shaq said he is gonna pay his fine for the tech he got. Do you get a fine for a tech?

 

[TBpup]

Shaq said he was going to pay Nurk's fine for that garbage technical.

 

[James lamphear]

Hood look good out there he going hard to guard at the 2. Layman playing good too. Hell the 2nd unit got the team started due the 1st unit defense look bad.
