Game Thread GAME# 66: WARRIORS @ BLAZERS - MARCH 9, 2018 - FRIDAY, 7:00 PM (PST), NBCSNW

I really hope Nurk do what he did in DEN, I wouldnt tolerate that shit from that piece of shit Terry Stotts

then you play Ed Davis all you want you fucking cunt

Are you really gonna disrespect the game that Davis just played? Really? Better check yourself?

 

[bobf]

nope, thats what you think

what he did to Nurk was disrespecting... if two of your players are playing well, why would you prefer a backup C to a starting C, cause you know, starting players are starters for a reason, theyre better players than backups... Nurk wasnt gassed, wasnt injured, wasnt dominated by GSW players, didnt play bad, so If Im Nurkic, I sure wouldnt be happy, cause its not the first nor will be the last time he did it

whats your point, if Dame and Shabazz are both playing well, we should keep Shabazz in, I dont get it... cause its really the same thing... yes Dame is much, much better player, its not even comparable, but if Shabazz is having as good game as Dame, I guess youd have no problem with Dame sitting the rest of the game, yeah right

Nurk was having a good game, 10/11 after 3rd quarter and despite Ed Davis having a good game too, you should put you starting C back in... thats how it works, its a fact, not biased opion by some bosnian poster who is apparently Nurkic fan and not a POR fan

Your Dame/Shabazz vs Ed/Nurk comparison doesn't fly. Dame >> Shabazz while Nurk is only somewhat better than Ed at this time. Nurk had a fine game, but Ed was playing out of his mind. Warriors couldn't stop him on the boards. It made sense to keep him and Zach in. Not disrepectful.

Hopefully Nurk doesn't share your crap attitude because that will ruin this TEAM.

 

[Mr. Robot]

I just hope if Shabazz and Pat C have a good game in the 4th quarter against MIA, we dont put Dame and CJ back in

like you know, Dame and CJ are having a good game, but so do they and we keep going with them

 

[kjironman1]

well if its a team, then he should cut Dames and CJs minutes and give it to Shabazz and Pat C, how about that

Now SlyPokerDog's just being a fucking idiot.....

 

[Hobbesarable]

I dont mind it really, I dont care what other people say, not even my mother...

Im just saying, I joke here a lot, especially when it comes to Nurk, but the fact is Im one of his biggest critics (not on this forum)... if you want, I can copy here what Im writing at some other places when hes having a bad game... just so you would know the truth

but when something is wrong, its wrong... I dont like it and Ill always say it

Our team won 8 straight after the all star game by an average of about 12 points per game.

What's there not to like about that?

 

[PtldPlatypus]

I just hope if Shabazz and Pat C have a good game in the 4th quarter against MIA, we dont put Dame and CJ back in

like you know, Dame and CJ are having a good game, but so do they and we keep going with them

If Shabazz and Pat are having a good game against Miami, we're probably up by 25, so Dame and CJ shouldn't come back in.

 

[andalusian]

I just hope if Shabazz and Pat C have a good game in the 4th quarter against MIA, we dont put Dame and CJ back in

We all do. That means that the team is winning big and the stars get extra rest. Duh.

 

[Hobbesarable]

Come on guys...when has questioning someone's fandom ever gone well?

You don't need to worry about me and @dviss1 . Others are calling him much worse. Haha.

 

[Mr. Robot]

Are you really gonna disrespect the game that Davis just played? Really? Better check yourself?

Im pretty sure I wrote multiple post saying Ed Davis was playing well, great, having a good game etc

but if thats how you wanna play it, for all I care...

 

[kjironman1]

did Ed Davis played well, yes he did! did Nurk played well, yes he did!

Ed Davis finished the game with 10/15, but Nurk left the 3rd quarter with 10/11, so I mean, Ed Davis played great, we won, so you cant argue against the fact that coachs decision was the right one... but, that seems to me like he felt we had better chance with Ed Davis than with Nurk and I do found it kind of disrespecting to Nurk

when Ed Davis checked in at the 3rd quarter, he played well and in the 4th quarter too, but at some point, with like 5 or 6 min to go, you bring back your starting C who played well too, cause you know, HES YOUR FUCKING STARTING C!

if both of your players play well, you give advantage to your starting C, cause hes starting C for a reason FFS... if Nurk didnt play well, Id have no issues with it, but given he played well, I found it disrespecting to Nurk

although I dont show it on this board, Im one of his biggest critics... Im not saying these things cause hes Bosnian, but cause I feel it that way

When Nurk went out the Blazers were struggling to stay in the game. Davis came in and the game turned. Go watch again. Nothing away from Nurk at all but facts is facts. Davis matched up better against the Warriors in that game. If they brought ZaZA Pachula back in then it would have been Nurk time.

 

[andalusian]

in Bosnia theres saying: "Its easy to be a general after the battle", that what your comment "Playing Ed won the game. " sounds

So what you are saying is that Terry proved to be a real general because he did it before/during the battle. In this case, why are you questioning him? You are contradicting yourself.

Do they have a saying in Bosnia about it being hard to be a wrong general after the battle? Because this is your argument.

hes acting like he know for a fact playing Ed Davis would get us a win, thats all Im saying

 

[andalusian]

Well, you are acting like you know for a fact that playing Nurk would do the same.

The fact is that Ed was playing great, the Blazers went on a big run with him in, in that context, it was a pretty easy call, honestly.

 

[Boob-No-More]

could you know for a fact playing Ed Davis would win us a game, of course not, neither could Stotts... could I know playing Nurk would win us a game, of course not and thats what Im saying, they were both playing well and naturally you should put your starting C back in... if Ed Davis was playing better than Nurk, I wouldnt say a word, but he didnt and Stotts just opted for him

whats is Stotts logic, if Ed Davis plays well 4th quarter, hell leave him on the floor no matter how Nurk played... I guess if Nurkic wants to play in 4th quarter, he should start the damn quarter and if he plays well, hell play the entire quarter

Jeezus, give it a rest already. Basketball is a game of momentum. Stotts stuck with the combination of players who were playing well in the 4th quarter. It wasn't just Ed who got more 4th quarter burn, it was also Collins and Turner. Stotts wasn't disrespecting Nurk (or Aminu or Harkless), he just went with the guys who were playing well. End of story.

On another note...good to see Mo back last night. That strip of KD was a big play!

first of all, we were playing against one of the greatest teams ever, theres no lead they cant catch and theres no team that can stop them going on a run... so it doesnt matter if youre having Nurk or Ed Davis, they will do that things to you... and POR was not struggling to stay in the game by any means, we were down by 2 went Nurk went out

at some point (6:04 to go) in the 4th quarter, score was 104:98 to POR and at that point, Ed Davis had 6 pts & 10 reb in 20 min, Nurk had 10 pts & 11 reb in 21 min, so why not bring your starting C back in, Ed Davis didnt outplayed him at that point... facts you say, Ed Davis matched up better against GSW you say

my friend, your facts arent correct

 

[noknobs]

Man another great win. The bench really came up big last night.

I wonder which fake twitter account Kevin used last night.

dude....the Spurs rest their starters multiple games every season...you want t a bench ready to play in the playoffs...you get them playing well this time of year...it's a team sport....Popovich rested Duncan, Parker and Ginobli against Lebron, Bosh and Wade in a nationally televised game.....Nurk broke his leg before the playoffs last season...keeping him healthy this season is smart.....Ed Davis earned his court time and I'm sure Nurk cheered for him all the time he was out there....you should cheer for Ed too and repect Stotts rotations....making it about one guy is a problem a lot of teams have and whether you think so or not.....WE'RE NOT DENVER!!!!!

They won the game, bitch when Nurk staying on the bench costs them a game.

Down by 2 when Davis went in...... Up by 17 when he went out. No My FACTS are not incorrect.
You absolutely have no argument here. You have been owned on every level. Just bow out and concede you are wrong.
Like has been said in another comment. Bitch when they lose with Nurk on the bench.

 

[kjironman1]

Exactly!

 

[kjironman1]

Matter of fact @Mr. Robot take this shit to the meltdown thread.

 

[riverman]

meltdown some cheese in UncleCliffy's breakfast thread....! Best thread in ages!

 

[kjironman1]

Now SlyPokerDog's just being a fucking idiot.....

Sorry. I will abstain from making such remarks in the future. My Bad
I apologize @Mr. Robot
You are welcome to your opinion sir.

 

[SIeepwalker]

Nurk had a fine game, but Ed was playing out of his mind.

This exactly, Ed was playing really well and it made a lot of sense for Terry to keep him in. And well, what do you know ? He was rewarded with many more big plays by Ed

 

[Mr. Robot]

Well, you are acting like you know for a fact that playing Nurk would do the same.

The fact is that Ed was playing great, the Blazers went on a big run with him in, in that context, it was a pretty easy call, honestly.

nope and I said it in one of my previous posts... its not my problem if you dont read them or understand them for that matter

and which big run, please enlighten me... when Ed Davis checked in, POR was down by 2 and at the time Nurk usually comes back in, we were up by 6

if Ed Davis was playing great with 6:04 to go (6 & 10 at that point), then Nurk was playing even greater (10 & 11) and at that point there was no reason not to bring Nurkic back... youre acting like Ed Davis dominated GSW at that point... thats why Im saying its easy to say he made the right decision now that we won, but at that point, halfway through the 4th quarter, the right choice would be to put Nurk back in

in those 6 min, Nurk could finish the game with lets say 16/15, or 14/14, whatever and we would say he played much better than Ed Davis who would finish the game with 6/10... Im not saying he would, Im saying he could, just as no-one could know Ed Davis will play 6 good minutes till the end

 

[Hobbesarable]

Matter of fact @Mr. Robot take this shit to the meltdown thread.

@kjironman1 , you may just have to move the meltdown thread here for @Mr. Robot .

down by 2 when he came in, up by 17 when he went out, hahahaha, thats some way to spin the discussion... halfway through the 4th quarter, when Nurk usually checks in for Ed Davis, we were up by 6... dont look how the game ended, look at that point

I keep speaking on ONE POINT IN THE GAME, HALFWAY THROUGH THE 4TH QUARTER and you people keep on speaking about how the game ended... THERES NO SINGLE ARGUMENT that Ed Davis was playing better than Nurk at that point

if there is, Id really like to hear that argument, like really haha

dude....the Spurs rest their starters multiple games every season...you want t a bench ready to play in the playoffs...you get them playing well this time of year...it's a team sport....Popovich rested Duncan, Parker and Ginobli against Lebron, Bosh and Wade in a nationally televised game.....Nurk broke his leg before the playoffs last season...keeping him healthy this season is smart.....Ed Davis earned his court time and I'm sure Nurk cheered for him all the time he was out there....you should cheer for Ed too and repect Stotts rotations....making it about one guy is a problem a lot of teams have and whether you think so or not.....WE'RE NOT DENVER!!!!!

SAS never fight for the playoffs, so they certainly can afford it... were fighting, not just for the playoffs, but for the home court advantage too, so we CANNOT rest anyone... my point is that at the time Nurk usually comes back in at the 4th, Ed Davis was not playing better than him

sorry, but 6/10 is not better than 10/11... and forgive my ignorance, I thought coaches bring back their best players in the 4th
