Game Thread GAME# 62: TIMBERWOLVES @ BLAZERS - MARCH 1, 2018 - THURSDAY, 7:30 PM (PST), TNT

Man! Nurk goes out, and it's all gone hell and a hand basket. Nurk's gonna have to play more minutes. No interior defense without him.

 

[BlazerBeav]

We just had a possession that ened up with a spinning, fallaway Patty C jumper. Shoot me.

 

[trailblazer18]

The quarter started off nicely, what happened? Lillard still struggling.

 

[BonesJones]

That's the best shot we can get Pat?

Clock was winding down I think. Blame Stotts offense. Not one designed cut to the rim in that set.

 

[KingSpeed]

I think we need more Nurkic

 

[DameLill379]

Tbh with you i don’t think there is a team in our division I despise more than the Minnesota Timberwolves...

 

[Jade Falcon]

I love the look on Paul Allen's face. Says all we need to know.

 

[Spud147]

Who is this Teague person wearing The Letter O... I don't like it.

 

[illmatic99]

Cant wait til Aminu is off this team

 

[AFully22]

This is fucking dumb. Absolutely no rhythm or purpose on offense. Hate to say it but, a good coach gets his players back on track when they’re playing this disorganized.

I like Stotts system but it sure seems like he doesn’t know how to get his players re focused or make adjustments if they look lost in a game.

 

[KingSpeed]

If your shots are not falling, dude attack and get to the line. Basketball 101

Dame and CJ did that and didn't get the call

 

[tykendo]

We just dont have enough talent. I think that should be clear. We can only raise our game to a certain level.

Pat has been awful tonight on both ends. Collins bad too. Only Shabazz has provided some outside shooting off the bench. Ed's playing hard but has no help in the paint tonight. Chief is aloof.

 

[TBpup]

A loss here isn't that big a deal if they take care of the soft early schedule and don't go on a massive losing streak at home. There is just no margin for error now and they have a bunch of tough games coming up now.

Wait until game is over?

 

[Jade Falcon]

Minnesota came prepared. We didn't. That's the problem here.

 

[tykendo]

Dame has, but they don't always get the call.

That's the biggest problem I have with him. His only response to adversity is to pray Dame or CJ bails everyone out.

Uh, fuck the Thunder. Minnesota has been so bad for so long I don't even think about them.

 

[KingSpeed]

We also went on even more massive win streak at home.

 

[LuckyShot]

Maybe the guys had so much fun winning that shitty game in Phoenix they thought they'd try to recreate it.

 

[ripcityboy]

Jeez. Thought Collins had that.

 

[blue9]

 

[illmatic99]

I'm tired of 7 footers flipping up shots under the rim. Man the fuck up

 

[AFully22]

Wait until game is over?

He’s had 3 quarters to get them playing more organized. Even if they turn it on all of a sudden in the 4th it’s still alarming he can’t get them re focused.

 

[BonesJones]

Wow. Napier gets fucking killed with an elbow.. no call.

 

[LuckyShot]

Holy shit, Dame.

 

[HailBlazers]

Take that @yuyuza1

 

[kingslayer]

ED FUCKIN DAVIS!

 

[TBpup]

We also went on even more massive win streak at home.

Since they can't guard us, they should be winning at home.

 

[VenomXL]

Way to finish the quarter!

 

[KingSpeed]

We win the quarter. Somehow, Dame has 22?
