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

[UKRAINEFAN]

So much more movement off the ball with the second unit, and so many more easy buckets.

six assists for the first team; thirteen for the second team.

Turner, Sauce and Bad MF'er combined for 11. Dame/CJ totaled 3.

 

[Hoopguru]

Nice win. The bench is fresh air as they really play motion off one another.
We held them to a low 3 point percentage too.

Im telling ya, in two years Zfence is going to be a hand full and one of the better young two way players. The kid has great heart and isn't afraid to mix it up at all.
Glad Swanny got some pt.
Sauce and ET plated well too.

Did Tyreke Evans look a little out of shape to everyone?

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Thanks for the good game thread, people; I only got home from work in time for last five minutes but I got the flavor of the game from this thread.

Today, I'm feelin' "ZFo"

 

[joeBlazers]

What if Zach started ahead of Aminu?

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

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.

The irony here is your exaggeration of people exaggerating.

...trying to figure out a way to get Exaggeration^3 out of this.

Don’t exaggerate your attempt of my response about exaggeration.

Almost every time he makes a good play some wants to get on their knee's for him lol.

No need for them to get on their knees. Zach is very tall and some of our posters.....are not.

Most of the S2 geeks are shrimps.

 

[Hoopguru]

No doubt about it Neil did the right thing in encouraging Ed to take that deal with the Nets. Helped Ed and helps the blazers cultivate an up and coming big. Or two?

 

[crandc]

We got one more game on this trip tomorrow lol.

I sit corrected.

 

[Hoopguru]

Zfence has arrived!

Yeah. We can even have a raffle. Because who doesn't want the chance to win a prize like that.

 

[Scalma]

So is Meyers done in Portland finally? Swanigan isn’t much of a rim protector either but if he’s here I’d rather see him on the court than Leonard.

 

[joeBlazers]

Biggie did great tonight. Good to see him get minutes.

 

[HailBlazers]

I love beating a Nate McMillan 'coached' team.

Never. Forget.

You'd just exaggerate the exaggeration he's trying to exaggerate on TBF.

 

[Strenuus]

I mean, we can't buy him a beer... we gotta offer something.

lol, it just makes me laugh a lot even when were losing.

 

[Strenuus]

haha good. It seems to really bring the board together.

 

[DDolla]

I like that bench line up of Turner, Curry Sauce with Biggie and ZCo

 

[julius]

I know it's because it's some weird forced perspective thing (or slanted angle of the original source?) but good god does this really creep me out. Not just because those guys look like Andre the Giant (in comparison), but that kid ends up looking like Bat Boy with those fangs.

A few things:

Collins needs to start over Nurk sooner or later. I’m sorry hes way too good to be limited in minutes like this, its clear as day already. Let Nurk bully the second units of other teams while Collins helps our first unit win games. I can’t believe how quickly this is happening but watching him play it couldn’t be more clear, Nurkic’s contract situation might end up not being good value after all lol.

Evan Turner in this role is legit.

I hope to God we can retain Sauce and Curry on longer term contracts, having legitimate outside threats outside of our big two is huge.

If I were Olshey I’d be asking around the league to see what we could get for CJ tbh. Nothing major, still love the guy, but its beginning to feel like maybe we should try get value for him if its available and get some defence at the 2 spot. Either that or force him to only take 3’s, and pray his defence gets better.

They are they the guilty party, your honor.

I really don’t care if Collins isn’t starting over Nurk right now. To me it’s more about Collins closing games out and on a lot of nights playing more overall than Nurk.
