Game Thread GAME# 6: BLAZERS @ PACERS - OCTOBER 29, 2018 - MONDAY, 4:00 (PDT), NBCSNW

[BonesJones]

I want to point this out because no one else will, SAUCE has 5 assists tonight.

I will

 

[julius]

considering how they started this game, and how they played for the last part of the 2nd period, the fact they have a 10 point lead with 50 seconds to go is incredible.

 

[SIeepwalker]

Zach has more assist than Dame

 

[Chris Craig]

Blazers Win!

 

[BonesJones]

That shot lmao.

 

[Strenuus]

LOL Dame.

 

[Chris Craig]

Sorry Pritch Sorry Nate

So how did Swanigan get on the court?

Nurk got 2 quick fouls, Meyers got 3 fouls in 3 minutes, and Harkless didn't play.

 

[Chris Craig]

Once again we can say its a great day to be a blazer

 

[BlazerBeav]

A road win without a strong game from either of our stars is a damn good road win!

 

[Strenuus]

Big ups to Biggie and Zach. They are the reasons we won.

 

[julius]

Zach is doing what Meyers should have done with his career.

 

[ripcityboy]

Hot take: At this point, Zach is much better than Nurk.

 

[DDolla]

Loving the Bench. Good game Zach and Caleb and Sauce and ET

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

I think my favorite part of the Blazer game threads at this point is how every good thing Zach does people act like he's Lebron. Cracks me up.

 

[Chris Craig]

LOL Dame.

That was a half court shot

 

[ripcityboy]

The second unit outplayed the first.

 

[Strenuus]

Hot take: At this point, Zach is much better than Nurk.

I agree. Stat wise Nurk is putting up numbers, but the eye test Zach is just so fundamentally sound it's only going to get better.

Lebron is a l*ker, there's no requests to suck a l*kers schwang.

 

[SIeepwalker]

Zach needs to play more

 

[BlazerBeav]

Now please follow this up with a win in Houston with Harden out. A 3-1 trip would be nice.

 

[beast blazer]

Zach is still shooting 70% on the season

 

[Titan]

Sorry Pritch Sorry Nate

Well I’m not sorry.

 

[ripcityboy]

I agree. Stat wise Nurk is putting up numbers, but the eye test Zach is just so fundamentally sound it's only going to get better.

Zach is a much more dynamic player.

 

[SIeepwalker]

Why does this one guy keeps hating on Zach ?

 

[DDolla]

54 Bench points wow... keep it up, keep winning

 

[TBpup]

No Blazer with more than 32 minutes. That is HUGE when you have to play the Rockets tomorrow night.

 

[LuckyShot]

Always nice to win relatively comfortably on a game where Dame put up a stinker and CJ was pretty meh.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Hot take: At this point, Zach is much better than Nurk.

Different strengths and weaknesses. I do think that Zach is more suited to faster games.

Teams with no Center, Nurk can feast on. But not when the game is this quick. I suppose Nurk did as well as he could tonight. I'm confident he'll have another 20+ point game this season.

"The Other Side" thread will be updated shortly. This was a good win!
