Game Thread GAME# 56: BLAZERS @ JAZZ - FEBRUARY 15, 2017 - WEDNESDAY, 6:00 PM (PST), KGW

[Chris Craig]

Blazers aren't even trying

 

[Jade Falcon]

I didn't care if we won or lost.... the fact Nurk looked really good in his FIRST game against a GOOD defensive team makes me so happy. I really just hope it's consistent, because we FINALLY HAVE A BIG MAN!

The only reason I'm watching this game is for Nurk. I didn't expect us to win this game.

 

[illmatic99]

Guy looks gassed but Nurk needs to stay healthy. Thats is. Dude can ball

 

[MickZagger]

keep losing games. honestly, thats whats best for our future right now

 

[Strenuus]

Meyers is the reason we lost.

 

[ripcityboy]

I hope we get more picks. We are going to need all of them.

[illmatic99]

Bench Lillard

 

[MarAzul]

People in Utah are weird.

Ha! I spent a month there once, getting a burn time analysis program working at Hercules Powderer. A month in Salt Lake is forever! This was a long time ago, it may have improved since.

 

[illmatic99]

Meyers is the reason we lost.

Dame is 3 for 19

 

[Cippy91]

Don't care we lost. This season is and will end bad. I just want to see more nurkic and how he develops. I wanna see if we make any more moves. I want us to get a better pick heading into the draft. We have a lot of assets to work with, picks being the most important. I ain't worried about next season. Just let this one run its course

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Nice to see a real big man set a pick to free up a shooter

 

[H.C.]

Miss ET very much.

 

[illmatic99]

Lmao this team has no heart

 

[ripcityboy]

Anybody even trying to make a stop?

 

[KingSpeed]

Nurkic is a +23

Remember when Nik said he would only play 8 minutes and wouldn't be making an impact til "early next season at the earliest"? Remember when Nik said Stotts doesn't emphasize post scoring? Hilarious. Dude doesn't understand the realities of basketball.

 

[Chris Craig]

Another loss, at least Denver's losing too

 

[Strenuus]

Dame is 3 for 19

He at least did something else.

Meyers literally felt like he gave us a deficit the moment he walked on the floor.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Another loss, at least Denver's losing too

How is Plums doing?

 

[Chris Craig]

Anybody even trying to make a stop?

No

 

[Scalma]

Bring in layman and let Nurkic post up the rest of the game. Sit everyone else

 

[Strenuus]

Nurkic is a +23

Remember when Nik said he would only play 8 minutes and wouldn't be making an impact til "early next season at the earliest"? Remember when Nik said Stotts doesn't emphasize post scoring? Hilarious. Dude doesn't understand the realities of basketball.

Or, you could have just said Nurkic is a +23....

 

[illmatic99]

He at least did something else.

Meyers literally felt like he gave us a deficit the moment he walked on the floor.

Dame is also getting cooked on the other end as usual. He needs a long reflecting session this break. He sucks right now

 

[Chris Craig]

How is Plums doing?

10 point, 7 boards, 1 block 3 assists

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Ed Davis is MINUS 36... in 19 minutes! That's amazing.

 

[ripcityboy]

I would say something about Neil. But Neil didn't authorize the comment. Sorry guys!

 

[KeepOnRollin]

How is Plums doing?

Not too bad. 10 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists with like 3 mins left in the game right now. Still glad we have Nurkic though!

 

[Strenuus]

10 point, 7 boards, 1 block 2 assists

Good for him. Never had a problem with him, wish him the best!

 

[Strenuus]

Dame is also getting cooked on the other end as usual. He needs a long reflecting session this break. He sucks right now

He is playing putrid lately for sure. Thank god they extended the all star break.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

10 point, 7 boards, 1 block 3 assists

Maybe, work with me here, both teams can be happy with the trade?
