Game Thread GAME# 6: BLAZERS @ WARRIORS - JANUARY 3, 2021 - SUNDAY, 5:30, NBATV & NBCSNW

Lol these fouls on Curry are a fucking joke

 

[illmatic99]

Btw, our offense is sputtering this year because our roll man sucks and can’t make basic plays.

which is why im saying Roco needs to be the screener

 

[BlazerBeav]

Nurk is getting killed at both ends by garbage.

 

[illmatic99]

bench nurk now.

 

[Labinot41]

At this point seeing Nurk on the court is just embarrassing. Take some games off dude

 

[DDolla]

This is over lol... Nurk what happened to you man?

 

[julius]

The team apparently is happy with a 2-2 road trip.

 

[bobf]

uh no.

Robert Williams III had PER of 23.1 last year and 25.6 this year. He rebounds almost as well as Nurk, blocks 2x as many shots as Nurk, and gets 50% more steals. He scores less, only 13.6 pts per 36 compared to Nurk's 18.0 but does so at a a much much high efficiency (TS% of .723 last year and .789 this year). Sounds like a very good backup center to me.

 

[James lamphear]

Sometimes we just don't play smart.

 

[Tince]

CJ's lazy flagrant fouls are getting old

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Not looking good, Nurk.

 

[illmatic99]

they want a FLAGRANT?

ok the fix is in.

 

[calvin natt]

It’s not the refs guys.

 

[B-Roy]

CJ's lazy flagrant fouls are getting old

He does this a lot.

 

[B-Roy]

they want a FLAGRANT?

ok the fix is in.

His “take” fouls are always borderline. Why put yourself in that position?

 

[BlazerBeav]

This is such a dumb performance all around. Had nothing to do but practice and rest for this game in SF and this is what we get out of it.

 

[LuckyShot]

Why does CJ do this shit?

 

[BlazerRx]

Btw, our offense is sputtering this year because our roll man sucks and can’t make basic plays.

Nurk has been bad as the roll man this year so far imo

 

[BonesJones]

If your hard hedging you don't need that much but we not hard hedging that far out from basket so got disagree with that assumption that don't need lateral quickness but that's my opinion.

If you're attached to the screener all you need to do is take 2 to 3 steps.

 

[BlayZa]

someone re-introduce nurk to the bench n lets run Giles.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Put in Giles what do you have to lose at this point?

 

[BlazerBeav]

It’s not the refs guys.

they are absolutely part of it when three of our starters have been in foul trouble all night.

 

[LuckyShot]

Nurk has been bad as the roll man this year so far imo

From what I've seen we are setting him up too far from the hoop. He catches the ball 20 feet from the rim and has to put the ball on the floor and defenders have more time to react and get in his way.

 

[Cugel]

Nurk is useless.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Get Nurk the fuck outta there man

 

[illmatic99]

Nurk got fouled approximately 4 times on that possession

 

[B-Roy]

Nurk is below replacement level this year.

 

[James lamphear]

We are just getting out play and out hustle.

 

[julius]

This feels like a game that at the end of the season we will look back at it and think "oh yeah, that's right, they suck".

 

[illmatic99]

announcers are unbearable
