Game Thread GAME# 67: BLAZERS @ SPURS - MARCH 15, 2017 - WEDNSDAY, 5:00 PM (PST), ESPN & KGW

[Trackjack]

Playoffs are going to be tough for him. Stotts would be smarter to play him a bit fewer minutes with a higher post volume. Make his time in the game really valuable, don't waste possessions with him on the floor. That way he stays fresh and ready to go. He should be doing that now so that Nurk gets comfortable with the amount of looks with his back to the basket.

He could if we had back up center that we could trust.

The Tunchi silence was the best silence. I swear when we won or mr "Feast or famine" did great, he was GONE

Yep great win......if thats what youre into

 

[Mediocre Man]

Interesting how the Blazers win and @Mediocre Man and @Troy.Ave go silent.

Troll much? I've literally been posting the entire game, and post game

Yes, I troll all the time. The difference between you and me as that I will admit it.

And I don't claim to be a victim when I'm called out on it.

Beating the Spurs on the road and having a new young center that's better than LMA. Yea I'm into that

Where is all the venom coming from?

Quality mod work

Better than LMA may be pushing it at this point

Good point! This will be crucial summer pick up and I really hope he doesn't come out of the fucking draft! No need to develop.

Not venom. But if you are taking it that way then I apologize.

Because my opinion is different doesn't mean I am a troll.

Vonleh has improved across the board since he's played with Nurkic..I think they'll develop into a solid frontline...

No, Vonleh is expendable.

 

[Trackjack]

Vonleh is really developing since Nurk came on board. This was the first time in long time they actually play complete game. Dame I see is really trying to pick up his D in last 2 game. 98 percent of the times his shot was good looks. CJ came out of his little shooting slump in the 2nd half. Going to Nurk down the strectch was good move even he miss some shots but when he get in better shape that will be money. Go Blazers!

 

[BigGameDamian]

Any chance we get Brook Lopez this summer to back up Nurkic?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Thanks for proving my point.

You often post to provoke a reaction. Then once you get that reaction you claim innocence. You're a smart man, you know exactly what you're doing.

 

[Trackjack]

There always a chance but I don't Olshey will go that direction.

The mods are jerks!










But seriously........ they are. Especially Sly.

I think you just take it that way

Just sayin, if more than just Lillard showed up against the Pelicans last night, Portland could be on the verge of a 2-0 road trip so far.
No damn excuse for having a lead against Spurs with 14s left, and getting smacked by the Pelicans.

3-0. We're 2-1 at the moment.

So did my eyes deceive me? It looked like Vonleh took all of Nard's minutes in the second half.
Hope it happens again.

Yep. Vonleh took all the back up center minutes in the 2nd half and he was great.

What a GREAT and frustrating win. This team can win a game like this against a championship contender (on the road) one night after getting blown out by a bad Pelicans team that couldn't win a game to save their lives.

WTH!

Cousins has always given us trouble. Tough matchup for us. Hopefully, we learned from it. Our last, and possibly crucial, game of the season is at home against the Pelicans.

Who is you talkin about?

barfo? Jerk.
Sly? Jerk.
Wheels? Jerk. (huge jerk)
JFizz? (likes country... who likes country??)
Denny? Pretty sure he's the next Unabomber.
Stren? I'm pretty sure he's just your second account so you can like your own posts. I have never seen you both in the same room at the same time.

You hear that BDSF? Bishop said you're a stand up fellow!

I bet that's why you're not a mod anymore Nate, you're too nice.

 

[noknobs]

Just watched it on delay, GREAT win. Just think how good we'll be once Nurkic isn't too exhausted to miss half his shots from three feet and in. So good to see Vonleh take advantage of more playing time. And Dame is the man as usual.

 

[noknobs]

And why does every thread now deteriorate into what the definition of a troll is? Who gives a fuck.

What a trollish post.

 

[BlazerWookee]

I had the right hat on tonight. You're all welcome.

 

[H.C.]

3-0. We're 2-1 at the moment.

Uhhm no? We'd be 2-0 if Portland didn't look like a men's league team against the Pelicans last night.
We're 1-1 on this four game road trip, with games against ALT & MIA left.
Previous game before the Pelicans loss, was also a loss at Moda to the Wiz.

don't I make the cut?

I liked that Terry finally gave some of Meyers's back up center minutes to Noah. 26 minutes for Vonleh has been deserved for a while. Nothing spectacular but 4-4 from the field and also from the line, along with 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 0 turnovers. But the 2nd unit defense looked a little better with him.

Also after watching how well the offense works with Nurk rolling to the basket, I can't help but wonder why they don't have Meyers do the same. Not saying he would do it as well, but at least try it instead of only using him only to spread the floor. Meyers is not horrible offensively going to the basket.

The league for the preservation of trollish culture, that's who.

Enough with all these whipper snapper troll wannabes who come here, take our women, drink our beers and s*** in our beds
