Game Thread GAME# 70: BLAZERS @ CLIPPERS - MARCH 18, 2018 - SUNDAY, 7:30 PM (PST), NBATV & NBCSNW

[VenomXL]

Bad couple of minutes here.

 

[BonesJones]

Our defense has been so inconsistent this game.

 

[BonesJones]

Good joke

He wouldve tagged you if he was going for a good joke.

 

[ripcityboy]

I think Calabro and Hurd have gotten a whole lot better. Both focus on the game completely now and lose trying to connect with the local fans. Much much better.

 

[KingSpeed]

oh man Nurk for three?

 

[TBpup]

Just not how you close a quarter. Damn!

 

[BrianFromWA]

Thank you, Dame. Let's keep doing stuff like that.

 

[EGame]

damn nurk almost nailed it. Not bad. Dame and Cj still really havent woken up imo and when they do i think will be ok

 

[BonesJones]

Nurk almost drained that lol

 

[Pinwheel1]

Napier to Nurk in the corner? Not a good idea

 

[KingSpeed]

We did get the last two points of the quarter!

 

[VenomXL]

Too bad they gave up momentum at the end. We'll see what the energy level is like in the second half.

 

[crandc]

Thought that 3 was going in for sure.

 

[BrianFromWA]

oh man Nurk for three?

0-8 on the season so far. Not sure he should be floating into a corner...

 

[Chris Craig]

Not too shabby Blazers have the lead at half. Need to come out with some energy in the 3rd.

 

[TBpup]

Good run by the starters.....almost nothing from the bench and they are going to need that on the 2nd of a b2b.

 

[H.C.]

Clippers had to put Rivers on Harkless to stop him from killing smaller guards.
I think it goes well for Portland if you have teledavich & Williams on Lillard & CJ.

Davis can't be in foul trouble. With 3 fouls : /
Nurk was able to go the last 7 minutes without picking up his 3rd though.
ET where you at.

Napier is here.

 

[DollaBel]

Harkless is the closest thing this league has to LeBron James.

ET hit a three

This Clippers announcer needs to just shut up. He knows nothing.

They have always been super annoying.

What kind of vanilla boner says "slaaaaaaaaaaam dunk."

That has to be the lamest catch phrase ever.

 

[Jade Falcon]

I would definitely like to see Nurk work on his 3 point shot this off-season. And we need to sign him long term to a good contract. He's gonna be looking for money, and if we want to keep him here, we MIGHT have to overpay. Unless he takes a team-friendly deal. But that will require him to be "sold" on this team. He says the right things in interviews, but what does he feel about those detractors who were on his hype train last season, but now bicker and moan about him?

Either way, we're not likely to get a better center coming our way. So sign him. We could do FAR worse than him. Like.....Meyers starting, or something.

 

[KingSpeed]

Aminu with 6 points 3 rebounds 4 assists 3 steals 0 turnovers

 

[H.C.]

Aminu with 6 points 3 rebounds 4 assists 3 steals 0 turnovers

NOT A STARTER.

 

[tykendo]

I do think the Blazers have a nice flow right now. Playing calm, cool, and collected. Energy shouldn't be an issue if they keep this pace after lastnight's game.

 

[BrianFromWA]

This Clippers announcer needs to just shut up. He knows nothing.

Bruce Bowen? Agree.

 

[KingSpeed]

NOT A STARTER.

Aminu has shown that he can play well whether or not he starts. Not everyone can do that.

 

[KingSpeed]

Bruce Bowen? Agree.

No. The other guy.

 

[joeBlazers]

CJ is missing in action. Get up and ball CJ. We need you big time !!!

We do need more CJ
