Game Thread GAME# 7: RAPTORS @ BLAZERS - OCTOBER 30, 2017 - MONDAY, 7:00 (PDT), NBCSNW

[Rastapopoulos]

I tuned in when it was 29-29. Big mistake. Yikes.

I found a Blazers team photo:

 

[Strenuus]

Looks like we went from 2:14 in the 1st to 0:05 in the 2nd without a FG. 14 minutes must be a record.

We missed, if I counted right, 20 in a row starting from the 1st.

 

[BrunoSOC]

Wtf is happen!! Houston lost, Memphis lost, we should WIN THIS! Pelicans lost too. Very sad

 

[SIeepwalker]

after overracting to one game, here comes overreacting to one quarter !

 

[GrandJury]

All Nurkic does is miss shots and foul.

He’s pretty good defensively but hes useless with everything else

I see what Denver fans meant with his wild shots and arrogance. Mentally something is up with that dude

 

[SlyPokerDog]

We got this.

 

[Strenuus]

If people tune out the game because of this quarter, I'll put a place up to put in your fan cards right now.

 

[theprunetang]

Garbage fire. I just witnessed a garbage fire.

 

[KingSpeed]

One of you said all Nurkic does is miss shots and turnover the ball? Untrue. He is shooting 50% and has no turnovers. Also, CJ is 2/2 from three. Let's get him more shots.

Hey guys, I found our jinx. Let's all get our pitchforks.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

What will you say if we win the game?

"Man, who knew the Raptors could lose 8 players to season-ending injury in one half?"

 

[e_blazer]

I think maybe the wrong thread was titled RIP City Boo!

 

[BrunoSOC]

Damian Lillard please make a comeback perfomance

 

[Mr. Robot]

All Nurkic does is miss shots and foul.

yup, Nurk 3/6 5 rbd 1 ast
Dame 3/8 0 rbd 2 ast
CJ 2/9 2 rbd 1 ast

take from it what you want, but dont shit on Nurk

They are talking about over the season, I think.

 

[KingSpeed]

Damian Lillard please make a comeback perfomance

He will. Law of averages. Raptors should be worried.

 

[e_blazer]

We got this.

We’ve got what, basketball syphillis?

 

[KingSpeed]

They are talking about over the season, I think.

But why say that tonight when he's playing so well?

 

[BonesJones]

We held Griffin below his average. Didn't we do well on Booker and Oladipo in first 2 games of season?

However, we let him score 10-15 of those points in crunch time, which lost us the game.

 

[AFully22]

The thing about Nurk’s struggles is it’s not just that his shots aren’t falling. He just looks really bad.

 

[GrandpaBlaze]

Man, how is poor HCP supposed to put together a highlight reel after that?!

It will have to be for Toronto.

 

[Strenuus]

But why say that tonight when he's playing so well?

agendas?

 

[GrandJury]

yup, Nurk 3/6 5 rbd 1 ast
Dame 3/8 0 rbd 2 ast
CJ 2/9 2 rbd 1 ast

tako from it what you want, but dont shit on Nurk

Offensively he’s a liability

He’s not really good with his decision making as well. Huge turnover machine

 

[Strenuus]

"Halftime highlights"

Id love if they can get something from the 2nd quarter.

 

[HailBlazers]

He’s pretty good defensively but hes useless with everything else

Are you and asap the same poster? Sly we need an IP check

 

[GrandJury]

No

 

[Haakzilla]

...was that the worst quarter in Blazers' history?! (serious question)

 

[Strenuus]

Offensively he’s a liability

He’s not really good with his decision making as well. Huge turnover machine

I think in the next year his offense will be where it needs to be - but right now he seems to not have the softest touch. It always looks like it just nails the backboard.

 

[Jade Falcon]

The thing about Nurk’s struggles is it’s not just that his shots aren’t falling. He just looks really bad.

He plays very doughy, and with that bulk he had, it worked because he could use it to bully guys in the paint.

Without that....he's just doughy without the dough.
