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

[riverman]

They didn't score 60..I like our chances!

 

[Trackjack]

Only thing have change on this team is that we got center that is rim protector. The other guys play the same terrible defense.

 

[Strenuus]

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.

Yeah. Championship caliber teams wouldn't do that.

 

[riverman]

I'm lovin' the Dame Nurk machine...those two were born to play together..

 

[ripcityboy]

Oh a kid on the halftime telecast is wearing a Huskies sweater. That's disgusting!!!

 

[Haakzilla]

Need one of you radio heads to create a Nurk Nurk Baby parody song!

"Getting Nurky with it"

 

[Darkwebs]

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

If Brown was smart, he would impersonate Olshey and trade Nurkic for one of the 76ers bench scrubs.

 

[riverman]

We're ahead at halftime...the Thunder ran out of gas in the 4th...if we took the 2nd qtr off and have legs to beast in the second half...I'd rather end in high gear.

Is that how this all works? Completely different teams but they all play like robots, programmed to do X when Y has happened?

 

[riverman]

Amazing.
Nurk
15 minutes
13pts 7rebounds 5 assists 5 blocks 1 steal 1 turnover and ZERO fouls

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

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

THE GLOVE

 

[Sinobas]

Nurk on pace for a quadruple double. 13/7/5/5 at halftime. Good to see him and Crabbe continuing to play well. But not too encouraging that we can't get any separation from this pathetic team. Dame is stinking it up once again 2-9, taking some really bad, forced shots.

Better than Oden ever was. Sorry. Had to say it.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Nurk is what I dreamed Oden would be.

We've all seen the Cavs, Thunder, Spurs, Warriors, Clippers, etc...lose a second qtr..that's Z

 

[42N8Bounce]

This is fun to watch. Go Nurk... I mean, Blazers!

Oh no you didn't. :MARIS61:

Dame is getting comfortable with the idea that he doesn't have to force shots anymore now that we have Nurkic to run the offense through.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Nurk is what I dreamed Oden would be.

And a little more, this passing is just nuts.

 

[Jade Falcon]

I'm lovin' the Dame Nurk machine...those two were born to play together..

How about that Nurkic/Harkless tandem under the basket? That's a thing of beauty.

Still doesn't negate this 2nd quarter, or justify it. lol.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

We played that Bazz/CJ/Crabbe/Aminu/Meyers lineup far too long

 

[ripcityboy]

This is fun to watch. Go Nurk... I mean, Blazers!

Sandy Pearlman, longtime Blue Oyster Cult producer, one of the true Renaissance men in music history always said of that skit: "If anything, I said less cowbell."

one qtr at a time.....dude...I'm enjoying the game...it's your job to negate this shit

 

[Strenuus]

"Nurking INTESIFIES"

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

Nurk is what I dreamed Oden would be.

Except I dreamed Oden would take the ball almost at the three point line and dunk like he did that summer league before microfracture.

 

[Sinobas]

Dame is getting comfortable with the idea that he doesn't have to force shots anymore now that we have Nurkic to run the offense through.

That doesn't seem to be the case. Damian says all the right things about being a team player, but on the court he forces so many bad shots, and I rarely see him creating opportunities for his teammates. You wouldn't know he was such a great team player by his play.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Vonleh is just to slow.

 

[Strenuus]

not negating, just saying it's bad. We're both living by the quarters, my man. It's okay to say one is shitty and the next is great.
