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

[LayneStaley]

Nards has the frame and strength to be a monster on D, he just needs to do some yoga or something and limber up.

 

[wizenheimer]

I say Meyers plays better defense than Kanter.

not tonight...Rolo is torching him

 

[Jade Falcon]

I did eventually decide to watch this game, but I'm late here. How are we doing without Nurk?

 

[hoopsjock]

Oi. I don't even know what they are trying to do. They have Votto who is on the downside of his career and.... nothing around him.

Actually their lineup is pretty solid. Winkler is a decent lead off guy. They have Yasiel Puig now. Eugenio Suarez is going to be really good. Unfortunately Scooter Gennett just got hurt and is out 8-12 weeks but he is good too.

They revamped their starting rotation as well.

 

[Strenuus]

But aren’t you old and fat?

Old? No.

Fat? I prefer to call myself the person that formerlly took up less space.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Some people thought that way this year. They do have some talent when they aren't all "hurt".

Well, in theory, they should get another guy who can contribute in the draft. Lavine's been solid when healthy, Wendell Carter is good too!

 

[illmatic99]

i miss rolo

 

[LayneStaley]

Isn’t it crazy that you would give anyone who shoots like ET 80 mil?

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Isn’t it crazy that you would give anyone who shoots like ET 80 mil?

I'd have given Shaq triple that. heh.
But yes a guard who can't shoot is pretty limited.

 

[illmatic99]

How did Evan get fat during the season?

 

[hoopsjock]

Nards has the frame and strength to be a monster on D, he just needs to do some yoga or something and limber up.

He is one of the weakest "buff" guys I've seen in the NBA. He has no clue how to use his athleticism to make himself a better basketball player.

 

[BonesJones]

No... this is the only game we are winning out of 4 road games lol

I knew I'd get one of you... Gullible is written on your ceiling.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

He is one of the weakest "buff" guys I've seen in the NBA. He has no clue how to use his athleticism to make himself a better basketball player.

He literally got hit out of position by a guy 7 inches shorter and 40lbs lighter earlier this game... You'd think a "Hammer" worked differently...

 

[Titan]

I get the feeling if no Rolo, the bulls would really struggle to score. Like end the game with 50 points total.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Seth is on fire.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Wow, I wish we could have Rolo for the playoffs.

 

[hoopsjock]

Seth is freaking feeling it.

 

[BonesJones]

Can we win by 40 and rest Dame please?

 

[hoopsjock]

That half took about 47 minutes, lol. There has been quarters that last longer than that.

 

[DDolla]

Ok Seth I see you in double digits again

 

[twobullz]

I know a lot of you hate on ET because of his salary, but I think he is not healthy. He has not been shooting well at all since he went out with the injury and it seems everything just comes up short. I wonder just how healthy he is.

 

[Jade Falcon]

So Kanter is stepping up? Good.

I wish we could see this team against a better opponent, so that we can get a better idea of how good or bad we are without Nurk and CJ.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

To some of you Salary cap guys, why did they let Rolo go, to begin with? I realize they wanted to start over and get young, but he was like 26? I'm glad they ended up with Nurkic, but I've kind of never heard a good explanation on the Lopez stuff, I always thought he was a solid center.

 

[James lamphear]

The only negative I see is we gave up 9 offensive rebounds that half I hope Stotts is pointing that out to them at the half.

Was he shooting good before the injury?

IIRC, while I doubt this played much of a reason on why we let him go, he was awful on Defense against good centers. Not even elite centers.....just good ones.

That's just how I remember it, mind you.

 

[KingSpeed]

ET has 6 assists and 0 turnovers

 

[James lamphear]

Turner is not 100 percent you can see that how he moves.

 

[DDolla]

Hang in there Pacers!

 

[James lamphear]

Rebounding going have to be team effort the rest of the year.
