Game Thread GAME# 55: HORNETS @ BLAZERS - FEBRUARY 8, 2018 - THURSDAY, 7:00 PM (PST), NBCSNW

[TBpup]

Doesn't help that his shot selection has been terrible.

There is that...

 

[ripcityboy]

C.J. can’t buy a bucket tonight

Don't worry we have tons of other shooters.

 

[Jade Falcon]

I've come to the conclusion I will never be the fan of a decent QB. Man it sucks to be a Jet.

Didn't know you were a Jets fan. Is Robinson really that bad at Corner?

 

[riverman]

Nurk is a beast

 

[Lukee]

Batum isn't great, but he is much better than ET

 

[riverman]

Batum isn't great, but he is much better than ET

once every 5 games or so ...you're right...got him the big bucks....he takes a lot of games off though

 

[KingSpeed]

Won't call time-outs to end a run and won't double team some guy going off for 40+ when there is no 2nd scorer. Neither of those things seems to be very good coaching.



No.

Who's going off for 40+? And timeouts don't necessarily end a run. You don't seem to know much about coaching. I'd trust Stotts over you.

No he's actually decent. The problem is he's a fucking moron.

 

[TBpup]

Batum isn't great, but he is much better than ET

He is when he's aggressive. Tons of ability intermixed with lots of napping and passivity.

 

[Lukee]

Still, I would rather pay him than Turner

Can easily point out multiple examples of guys in Stott's tenure that have gone off on the Blazers and Terry refused to double team. Too easy.

 

[KingSpeed]

Big 3 going off tonight

 

[ripcityboy]

Nurk is having a (I can almost say it) a great game!

 

[riverman]

Cookin!

 

[Titan]

Now CJ is rockin

In most of those cases, the opposing team is well defended. The star gets his and that's it. Up to our offense to win those games.

 

[Lukee]

Nurk can be 20 10 guy in this league. Believe.

 

[LuckyShot]

We're a lot of fun to watch when we play hard on defense and share the ball on offense. Go figure.

 

[KingSpeed]

Nurk can be 20 10 guy in this league. Believe.

Yep

 

[Jade Falcon]

No he's actually decent. The problem is he's a fucking moron.

Typical Trent Baalke pick. If it's not drafting players out of position, or players we don't need, or players who just plain suck, or players with torn ACLs and calling them "value picks".......it's drafting players who are actually good, but don't have the brain for it.

God he was such a terrible GM. So glad he's gone. Olshey looks like fucking Einstein compared to Baalke.

 

[Titan]

Nurk is having a (I can almost say it) a great game!

I think Dwight being much slower these days is helping Nurk look good

 

[riverman]

I just love that we're developing a real pick and roll game...haven't had one since the Nic and Rolo

 

[riverman]

I think Dwight being much slower these days is helping Nurk look good

Dwight is having his best season in years.....Nurk is just a damned talented big

 

[TBpup]

In most of those cases, the opposing team is well defended. The star gets his and that's it. Up to our offense to win those games.

I guess I prefer the way Coach Pop does it...actually will make adjustments. To each their own.

 

[Titan]

LOL ET

 

[riverman]

Turner has 11 pts...quietly

 

[KingSpeed]

Aminu doing all the little things and Turner on his 2nd try!! swish3

 

[LuckyShot]

Turner is better coming off the bench and attacking lesser players. His flaws are too evident when put into the starting lineup where his strengths aren't as needed.

 

[KingSpeed]

How do explain

I think Dwight being much slower these days is helping Nurk look good

Nurk playing well against Embiid?

 

[ripcityboy]

I can't tell if Troy Brown is an NBA player or not. He will suck one game and kill it another.
