Game Thread GAME# 63: 76ERS @ BLAZERS - MARCH 9, 2017 - THURSDAY, 7:00 PM (PST), CSNNW

[BonesJones]

Nurkic will learn to shoot a floater there. Too unselfish sometimes.

 

[Trackjack]

This Qt defense completely stinks especially from the outside.

 

[ripcityboy]

Hope someone doesn't post Hurd's Nurkic Fever video on Reddit. We will be the laughing stock of the league.

 

[Strenuus]

If he can shoot 40% from there, then why not?

Only if he can shoot 40% though

That is asking a lot.

I love him just the way he is - he can do more with what he's doing than attempting threes, IMO.

 

[Boise Blazer]

If he can do it in moderation and in the flow of the game then fine. I don't recall watching Gasol and thinking he shoots too many 3's

 

[riverman]

Sure, why not ruin him

Didn't ruin Sabonis or Laimbeer

 

[Cippy91]

Only thing I worry about is Nurk at his size is injuries.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Flagrant foul? Give my a fucking break!

If Mike Rice did it, would of made sense.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Okafor being a butthurt little pussy.

Like Leonar_ Howd that work out?

Marc Gasol shoots lots of threes

 

[ripcityboy]

Damn. This defense still is pathetic sometimes.

 

[julius]

and people would've wanted it made into a t-shirt.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Yep. Already had a knee injury

 

[MickZagger]

That last pass was very Sabonis-like

 

[KingSpeed]

Nurk now officially halfway to quad double

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

The Big Nurk is legit.

 

[Strenuus]

The BOSSnian beast!

 

[Cippy91]

 

[LuckyShot]

How do we go from allowing 17 points in a quarter to 35 the next?

 

[B-Roy]

Nurk got me sitting here giggling like a young schoolgirl.

Also, does anyone think Brett Brown looks like Neil Olshey?

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Leaving people wide open from 3

Sixers shot really badly in the first quarter. So it was bound to balance out.

 

[Trackjack]

Gave up 35 points that QT if I was Stotts I be piss especially the defense we play the 1st QT.

 

[Cippy91]

Our tremendous defense

 

[Cippy91]

No. Bad defense.

 

[Strenuus]

lead chopped in half.

Still anybodys game.

 

[LuckyShot]

I think our intensity on defense is what balanced out. We thought we were just going to piss on them all game so we relaxed like we did against Brooklyn basically all game. I don't like this playing down to shitty competition habit we have.

 

[ripcityboy]

We need to get a defensive guru in the offseason. Hopefully there'll be a little turnover on the coaching staff.
