Game Thread GAME# 63: THUNDER @ BLAZERS - MARCH 3, 2018 - SATURDAY, 7:00 PM (PST), NBCSNW

[Strenuus]

Oh Pat that was awesome.

 

[BrianFromWA]

was that a C beating everyone else down the floor for a dunk?

 

[ripcityboy]

Patty ICE!!!

 

[AFully22]

If you don’t love Ed Davis like your firstborn son I can’t fuck with you.

 

[KingSpeed]

Oh Pat that was awesome.

way to follow your shot wow

 

[SIeepwalker]

I liked our Mo Williams, TRob, Dorell Wright unit with Freeland

Mmmmmmeeeeehhhh

 

[BrianFromWA]

that was some garbage rat-ball but I dig it.

 

[BonesJones]

This bench unit is playing hard. I love it.

 

[rotary111]

Collins is out playing Nurkic??

 

[BonesJones]

Mmmmmmeeeeehhhh

This unit is ×10 better.

 

[DUB]

I feel like, at some point, I'd love for someone to embrace a role. Vinnie Johnson did in DET. Patty Mills didn't here, and went to SAS. I'd love it if it Bazz embraced the 3rd guard/sometimes closer role.

That's not how it went with Patty. He signed with a Chinese team during the lockout, and couldn't get out of his contract when the season started, so we cut him.

 

[KingSpeed]

everyone following their shot now!!! Extending lead with Dame on the bench

 

[ripcityboy]

I swear, if I ever hear somebody say Pat is "sneaky fast" I'm going to brain them. He's a fucking great athlete.

 

[SIeepwalker]

15-2 run !

 

[LuckyShot]

OKC wants a timeout to bitch at the refs.

 

[BonesJones]

Let's GOOOO

 

[BrianFromWA]

Collins is out playing Nurkic??

well, he was #10 pick. Nurk was #16. #science

 

[TBpup]

Good bench 15-2 run while Dame is getting rest. That is HUGE for later in the game.

 

[riverman]

now we're cookin'

 

[Labinot41]

Playing with pace, make them tired on a 2nd of b2b, give me the 3 guard line up

Second-highest standing jump in NBA Draft history, IIRC.

 

[BonesJones]

Our defense got so much better with our bench unit. Collins+Davis at the rim, Shabazz pressuring the ball. Even CJ has been energized on that end the past couple minutes.

 

[Lukee]

Man Zach is looking so good.

 

[tykendo]

Sweet!! Okey Dokes already cryin' about calls, but they're fouling as much as the Blazers are. Refs letting them play on both ends.

 

[BonesJones]

Playing with pace, make them tired on a 2nd of b2b, give me the 3 guard line up

No 3-guard. They're too lengthy. We can play this pace with 2 of the 3 in.

 

[ripcityboy]

Losing Davis and Shabazz sure is going to hurt.

 

[BonesJones]

Man Zach is looking so good.

Even his turnover where he drove and lost the ball looked good. He got to the rim easily. He's quick.

 

[KingSpeed]

this is fun

 

[tykendo]

Our defense got so much better with our bench unit. Collins+Davis at the rim, Shabazz pressuring the ball. Even CJ has been energized on that end the past couple minutes.

Chief is asleep tonight. Paul George was having a heyday. Patterson was hurting the Blazers with wide open looks.

 

[BonesJones]

What a pass by Shabazz.
