Game Thread GAME# 6: SUNS @ BLAZERS - OCTOBER 28, 2017 - SATURDAY, 7:00 (PDT), NBCSNW

[LuckyShot]

Holy shit, did we just double the ball and disrupt the other team's play?

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Stotts biggest flaws:

Dealing with Screens (both sides of the ball)

Getting murdered by Stars and scrubs (never the good rotation dudes)

 

[Chris Craig]

Nutkics passing is retarded sometimes

Yeah he has had the tendency to throw passes straight to opponents

 

[Sinobas]

Last year's sample size is 4x bigger than this year's.

And his career prior to last year's sample size was 4x bigger than that.

 

[BonesJones]

Lillard seems to slow down when he gets to 15ft on every drive this year. He did it on that last possession where he got fouled. I think that's why he's not getting to the rim at all this year.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Nurkic played better when he was a larger human being

It's possible he actually did play better with more weight and out of shape some; it seems a lot of his shots near the basket have a little too much pep. I think if he can practice more against NBA length and athleticism that he can adjust to his new body.

 

[BonesJones]

And his career prior to last year's sample size was 4x bigger than that.

And also wasn't applicable to the situation he is in now.

 

[LuckyShot]

Whoever coached him this offseason needs to get punched in the face by his dad.

Because we should expect a player to have fully refined footwork in one offseason of work, while at the same time he was busy losing 30 pounds. Ok.

 

[julius]

I can imagine that Laker game will be full of idiot Laker fans in the crowd.

 

[Sinobas]

And also wasn't applicable to the situation he is in now.

Umm, yeah it was, he was playing basketball in the NBA.

 

[KingSpeed]

A3nu

Or expect a guy to not come back 10x worse

 

[Strenuus]

Man... so bad.

 

[Sinobas]

Lillard is not getting to the rim because he has no lanes. Teams are mirroing him and cutting him off. That's why he needs to learn to be a better distributor.

 

[KingSpeed]

CJ's brother scored 82 in a game?

 

[julius]

CJ is going all Damianesque.

 

[Strenuus]

lololol,

We need to get him some consistent shooters first

 

[Sinobas]

Dame is playing like 38 year old Kobe Bryant right now.

 

[BonesJones]

Does Nurk really think he's gonna steal that from Jackson?

Stupid ass foul.

 

[julius]

They're playing careless.

 

[KingSpeed]

Dame is playing like 38 year old Kobe Bryant right now.

No. Kobe was much worse.

 

[LuckyShot]

Or expect a guy to not come back 10x worse

LOL. I can see there's going to be no reasoning with you.

 

[GrandJury]

It’s official guys

I’m not huge on Nurkic

He’s overrated

 

[Sinobas]

We need to get him some consistent shooters first

No, he needs to start playing right NOW. Even though we may not have a lot of great shooters, an Aminu or Harkless 3 is much better than a lot of the crap Damian is forcing up.

 

[KingSpeed]

Nurkic must be the worst starting center in the league this season

 

[julius]

My favorite expression on any NBA player is when they obviously commit a foul and they look perplexed.

 

[Strenuus]

It’s official guys

I’m not huge on Nurkic

He’s overrated

Were you expecting people to be shocked?

Or care?

 

[Sinobas]

LOL. I can see there's going to be no reasoning with you.

Make a reasonable statement to start off the conversation. Your premise that Nurkic suddenly can't coordinate his "footwork" because he lost 30 pounds, and that's the reason he looks so much worse than last year is ridiculous.

 

[julius]

Just imagine if CJ, Dame and Nurk weren't sucking crap tonight.
