Game Thread GAME# 74: NUGGETS @ BLAZERS - MARCH 28, 2017 - TUESDAY, 7:00 PM (PST), CSNNW

[The Professional Fan]

Dude really called us Seattle, huh?

I heard him say SOMETHING about Seattle and I couldn't connect the dots in relation to this game so yeah - maybe he did

 

[Sinobas]

What's up with Damian at the FT line? He's been crap since his streak was broken.

 

[santeesioux]

BlazerCaravan is back!?!

 

[julius]

I get it , but the Sonics have been gone for how long? And I hate to listen to this bag of poo.

I went 9 years without watching most of the games because of the TV contract so I never grew a great attachment to Mike and Mike. The style of Kevin and Lamar is different, but I don't get how people are *still* bitching about it 74 games into the season.

for all the complaining people have about mistakes that both of these guys make, it's not like Mike and Mike weren't free of the same kind of mistakes.

 

[Sinobas]

CJ should be taking all of our final shots

 

[DaLincolnJones]

OMG! I loved Meyers on that play! He looked so good cheering Nurkic from the bench.

good place for him

 

[Trackjack]

Wow we got Nurk with 21 points and havent been stop and we shoot a damn 25 footer by Dame just don't make sense.

 

[BrianFromWA]

I'm ok with us having the same amount of turnovers as Damian's missed FTs. Let's keep that one going.

 

[The Professional Fan]

Which would be grounds for immediate impeachment for treason

 

[B-Roy]

I wish the Mikes were calling this.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

CJ McCollum scored 16 points in the second quarter (5-7 FG, 2-2 3-PT, 4-4 FT).

 

[SlyPokerDog]

At the half, Jusuf Nurkic has totaled team highs of 21 points (9-11 FG, 3-3 FT) and 8 rebounds (4 off.).

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Jusuf Nurkic has tallied the 5th 20-point game of his career. 3 of the 5 have come in 19 games with Portland.

 

[H.C.]

Wow we got Nurk with 21 points and havent been stop and we shoot a damn 25 footer by Dame just don't make sense.

Common NBA basketball.
Last shot of the quarter, to take a lead to halftime.
Every team will do that, every time.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

The atmosphere is playoff level, loving the intensity.

To be fair, Mike and Mike were like home town. Like watching the game with you. These guys are like network pukes.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

I wish the Mikes were calling this.

"OW MY TOOTH!!"

 

[BrianFromWA]

Wow we got Nurk with 21 points and havent been stop and we shoot a damn 25 footer by Dame just don't make sense.

Nah, the percentages are that Dame in an isolation against a big who's sagging off him are a good shot. Remember, with a PPS on a P&R around 1.09 to be the best in the NBA, he only has to shoot 36% in those situations for it to be a good shot. 6' of separation off of a big? I'll take it.

 

[Strenuus]

Sly is on the court guys! The tailblazers are the halftime show. GO SLY!

 

[julius]

9 points from the bench isn't going to win you many games. But when Denver has Barton who can score in his sleep...

 

[Sinobas]

How are the Nuggest feeling about the Nurkic/Plumlee trade about now?

 

[Natebishop3]

Mason Plumlee - 0 points on 0-1 shooting, 1 rebound, 2 assists, 1 block in 10 minutes off the bench.

I love ya Mase, but I don't miss ya.

 

[julius]

Interesting fact....if Nurk stayed at 9-11 from the floor tonight, it makes up for his 4-15 against the Lakers. He'd be shooting 13-26 in his last 2 games.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Sly is on the court guys! The tailblazers are the halftime show. GO SLY!

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Our big three on pace to score 102 tonight

 

[BrianFromWA]

Did you just go from @DaLincolnJones to @DaLong in the middle of a game thread?

 

[Trackjack]

Common NBA basketball.
Last shot of the quarter, to take a lead to halftime.
Every team will do that, every time.

If he on yes take it if not you give it to people that is hot like CJ or pick roll with Nurk.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

 

[julius]

I hope once (if) the game ever become and obvious W for the team, that the crowd has the chance to cheer "Jus-sef Nurkic clap clap clapclapclap":

 

[riverman]

Wheels and Casey work really well together...I'm enjoying their broadcast more and more as I hear them do the homegames..

 

[H.C.]

If he on yes take it if not you give it to people that is hot like CJ or pick roll with Nurk.

They did run a pick and roll with Nurk it's why Jokic was switched onto Lillard.
Portland made a common basketball play that every team would take 10 out of 10 times to end a quarter
You might not like the shot fine, but that is not hero ball... It's also a high % shot.
