Game Thread GAME# 76: CLIPPERS @ BLAZERS - MARCH 30, 2018 - FRIDAY, 7:30 PM (PDT), ESPN & NBCSNW

[B-Roy]

Easiest block of Nurks career

 

[H.C.]

Great coaching is leaving the guy who's playing great in the game a little bit longer than normal?

Considering we've had coaches in the past & even Stotts yank players when they're rolling to 'keep with their rotations'. I'd say yeah it's great coaching.
Credit when it's due.

Nurk's entire game has really elevated since the break. Tracking and blocking shots better, boxing out and rebounding well, taking and finishing better shots.

 

[BonesJones]

Remember when certain posters wanted to trade Nurk and a pick for Jordan? Lol.

[KingSpeed]

This is how we are going to play in the playoffs. I love it.

Nurk's entire game has really elevated since the break. Tracking and blocking shots better, boxing out and rebounding well, taking and finishing better shots.

I think he is has gotten stronger, like he lost a lot of weight in the summer and came in weaker but he has re-learned how to use his body.

 

[Darkwebs]

So even Aminu's passes have to be the rainbow variety?

 

[DDolla]

Let’s finish this up in the 3rd quarter

 

[LuckyShot]

Good eye on that. I could see that there was something off about his form, but I just couldn't put my finger on it.

I don't know if it's a new development or a new bad habit or whatever. Maybe he's always done it, but I don't feel like he did. I do know that it doesn't help consistency to release the ball on the way down.

 

[KingSpeed]

Was Marc Gasol yank to tanked?

 

[Rhal]

Dames been blatantly fouled 3 times on 3s and they haven't given him any of them

 

[Darkwebs]

This game turned into the Portland's own little dunk contest. Which Blazer won it?

 

[tykendo]

Now that was some beautiful lowpost basketball. Nurk and Zac dominant. Easy Rd no slouch either. Awesome.

With Pat, it seems like the ball is traveling further away from his body on the wall up, taking more time for the ball to reach his set point, thus causing him to shoot on the way down with no rythym or touch.

 

[H.C.]

Collins 11 minutes 13 points 6-6 shooting 2 rebounds
Harrell 8 minutes 4 points 1-3 shooting 0 rebounds.

Hopefully this continues in the next rotation.

 

[LuckyShot]

Was Marc Gasol yank to tanked?

You have to ask? LOL

 

[BonesJones]

I want Zach to get 20.

In technical terms, he's got a hitch in his giddy-up.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Fuck that! Go get 30 ZacHAMMER

 

[Jade Falcon]

I want someone to start a "Insult Zach For The Win" thread. Should be hilarious what people can come up with.

 

[Almir]

Nice game to watch what a game by bigs...just continue!

Go Blazers!

 

[ripcityboy]

You have to ask? LOL

Just seems like such a shit thing to do with paying fans watching. It would be like going to see a movie and then halfway through the star decides to take a powder and is replaced with a no name character actor.

 

[DDolla]

I want to see Baldwin play with Dame and CJ please

I still stand by this...

 

[Gronk Brady]

It’s taken a while but the Nurk of last season is finally back in full force... multiple blocks and steals almost every night, being patient on the block... Blazers can beat any team in league with this Nurk. He has earned him self a lot of money over the last month. Will be surprised if he gets anything less than 20 per

 

[Darkwebs]

On his shots he's like a -9000.

 

[DDolla]

Looks like I’m watching NCAA final four at the half instead of the Blazers
