Game Thread GAME# 74: BLAZERS @ BULLS - MARCH 27, 2019 - WEDNESDAY, 5:00 PM , NBCSNW

I get it, Kanter sucks at defense. I'm not going to be pissed off about a decision before seeing the results first. It's not like the 2nd unit has been playing great most games anyway. They have been pretty much dependent on Curry getting hot. Our 2nd unit isn't some super force that needs to stick together. We can always bring Kanter out early for Collins if defense is needed and bring Kanter back in with the 2nd unit.

Will they show on TV the Best Player introduction in the NBA The Chicago Bulls?

 

[hoopsjock]

If the Blazers lose tonight. It’ll in now way say anything about how they perform in the playoffs remember that.

As you probably know, games like this are so hard to get up for. Not that it's an excuse or anything if they lose because they absolutely should win but I hate games like this. The excitement just isn't there like it would be against normal teams.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Of course Kanter is starting. Hey bulls! layups on aisle two.

I argued for Collins too, because I wanted to see him play with the starter. But unless you are going to change a couple of the other starters, they really do need some offense in the unit as well. The first half of the last couple first quarters.....has been painful to watch...even with Nurk.
(It was 15-7 last game)
Collins will still plenty of minutes.

Yeah and Im sure as a team Portland will be very off for a while. I expect them to win, but theres a lot mentally going on for them too.

If foul trouble isn't an issue, Collins needs to average at least 24 minutes a game over the last 9 games.

Unless Skal looks real bad, I think they should stick him in at times too, see what he does in game, maybe he meshes well with a couple guys. Unfortunately not a lot of time to experiment and they still need to try to keep up with houston.

 

[THE HCP]

Keep an eye out for our new open tonight as we come on the air. Came out nice.

Hahaha

I think they also qualify for the express lane

Getting a home court seed is more important now than ever.

Lineup to win, baby!

Yeah I just thought the easier more logical move would’ve been to start Hood.

 

[BBert]

Nards/Zach sounds slightly better than Kanter/Chief, but not much. I’m getting really sick of Droopy Dog and his decisions.

Worst decision maker on the team, hands down (man down).

Will do. As someone who's enjoys the process of creating videos, I'm excited to see what you guys have.

 

[Labinot41]

Is this Meyers' last chance?

 

[joeBlazers]

ML is just a fill-in. His chances have come and gone already. He will play, because we have no other choice. Same for E. T.

Is this Meyers' last chance?

 

[hoopsjock]

C'mon Moe, we need good crisp passing.

 

[LayneStaley]

We look flat. I already like Kanter better off the bench.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

You can just see how out of sync the Blazers are.

 

[LayneStaley]

Sweet Leon Wood is there.

 

[hoopsjock]

Isn't that supposed to be goaltending if someone slaps the backboard while the shot is above the rim?

 

[Strenuus]

Wow this is just some bad basketball all the way around.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Good job on the offensive boards

 

[HailBlazers]

Nurk was our backbone man.

 

[LayneStaley]

Our interior D is gonna be a problem. Chi has missed 3 layups

 

[hoopsjock]

We should try and switch up our defense a little bit now that we don't have an enforcer in the middle but we know that will never happen.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Nurk was our backbone man.

At least we still got Dame. It'll take some time for them to get chemistry with two "new" starters.

right... I wish.

 

[Strenuus]

Jesus this is just...

 

[Strenuus]

The new motto: WURK FOR NURK.

 

[hoopsjock]

Dame seems flat on both ends. He's gotta do a better job of keeping his man in front of him.
