Game Thread GAME# 59: BLAZERS @ 76ERS - FEBRUARY 23, 2019 - SATURDAY, 10:00 AM, NBCSNW

This a new Nurk we’re Seeing this year. Much improved

 

[oldmangrouch]

Honestly, I'm not sure how we are ahead right now.

Oh well - this isn't a beauty contest. Ugly wins are still wins!

 

[tlongII]

Nurk is the 2nd best center this franchise has ever had. I’m impressed.

It's definitely made CJ's regression more palatable.

 

[Chris Craig]

Blazers up at the half because of offensive rebounds/second chance points. Blazers need to dial it in, start hitting shots in the 2nd half to win it.

 

[LayneStaley]

Does Collins really deserve ZERO minutes??

 

[DDolla]

What a shitty first half. If Joel was playing we’d be fucked right now.

Just Win Baby!

 

[Chris Craig]

CJ lays more bricks than the third little pig

 

[James lamphear]

We got 3 players in double scoring but the big key right now we have 14 offense board and out rebounding them 31-17. Key to the 2nd half will be can we shoot better from the 3 and get better production from the bench.

I’ll say 3rd. Walton and Sabonis were both better imo. Some may even have a soft spot for Duck.

I feel like we shoudn't mention opposing hurt players. Or HCP will quote your post later and mention in huge font with exclamation points, how we play injured teams so much. He's basically like a drunk uncle that looks to include "that's what she said" into every possible conversation.

 

[Labinot41]

Mcbrickem 2-9 FG.

 

[Chris Craig]

I love nurks practice shots where he just looks like he’s working on his moves and not giving a fuck where the rim is.

I hate it when he goes up weak and lets it go with a weak ass flick. He needs to go strong. Pound that shit

 

[theprunetang]

That reddick 3 was a 2

I'm glad I am not the only one who saw that. It wasn't even close to being a 3.

 

[Labinot41]

Mcbrickem 2-9 FG.

At least CJ plays Defense. Ha wait...

 

[Chris Craig]

He should be playing next to Kanter with Layman at the 3

 

[Scalma]

Mcbrickem 2-9 FG.

Whats new

 

[Chris Craig]

Not even fucking close. He stepped way in. I jumped up and yelled Hell No!

 

[James lamphear]

This been CJ all year have some good shooting nights and then some nights he hit shit. Problem is when he not hitting he becomes liability to the team.

I’ll say 3rd. Walton and Sabonis were both better imo. Some may even have a soft spot for Duck.

Sorry but Sabonis was a pussy in general. Shaq made him his bitch every game. At least Nurk has some bite to him.....

Nurk is better than the Sabas that we had. No doubt about it.

 

[Chris Craig]

Hey...what happened to Turner

 

[LayneStaley]

Just for shits and giggles I’d like to see...

Dame
Layman
Hood
Zach
Nurk

Get a little burn.

 

[LayneStaley]

Hey...what happened to Turner

He’s hurt

 

[LayneStaley]

Sorry but Sabonis was a pussy in general. Shaq made him his bitch every game. At least Nurk has some bite to him.....

Shaq did that to most, I highly doubt Nurk would do anything against Shaq in his prime.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Does Collins really deserve ZERO minutes??

I wouldn't mind seeing a rotation of him and Kanter, or both at the same time. It's obvious Kanter isn't there yet with the playbook.....he's been looking over at the sidelines and standing around not doing anything on a few plays. Not all, but enough to be noticeable.

 

[BonesJones]

Tennessee vs. LSU going to OT. That's been a more entertaining game than this one.

 

[joeBlazers]

How is CJ doing?

 

[James lamphear]

Stotts sometime have block in his brain and he already knows what his rotation is without seeing what's going work when added Kanter and Hood in the lineup. This will be his down fall.

 

[Chris Craig]

The usual
