Game Thread GAME# 79: TIMBERWOLVES @ BLAZERS - APRIL 6, 2017 - THURSDAY, 7:30 (PDT), TNT

Rubio schooling Dame lol

 

[craigehlo]

This team can't figure out the Wolves and they are fighting to face the Warriors? It's time to play Napier and shut Dame & CJ down for a higher pick.

 

[kingslayer]

Brick brick brick brick

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

Rubio. WTF?

 

[BonesJones]

So many in and out 3s. I blame the rim.

 

[Road Ratt]

Stop shooting 3's, ugh.

 

[ripcityboy]

Meyes looks like he can't jump more than 2 inches. And Minny is just gunna just keep running those screens all game. This could get ugly.

 

[The Professional Fan]

Other than the Suns game (barely) we've been total shit and totally unwatchable since Nurk went down.

Why?

We get Nards and not Plumlee. We had to trade SOMEONE for Nurk!

Boy oh boy do we need back-up bigs

 

[illmatic99]

LMAO

 

[H.C.]

Sigh, Rubio is leading the team again.

 

[julius]

That might have been the single worst "screen" I've ever seen in my entire life.

 

[BonesJones]

Fucking sad.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Dame's getting torched by Rubio.

 

[BonesJones]

We won't win another game this season.

 

[KingSpeed]

Without Plumlee or Nurkic, this team is very bad. Only way we can win is to shoot really really well but Dame is off so no chance. We may lose out. Good news is Denver may lose out too.

 

[KingSpeed]

We won't win another game this season.

I think you're right.

 

[B-Roy]

Meyers is getting minutes on a team fighting tooth and nail for the 8th seed

 

[Jon]

I wish the fans would boo meyers even more. Fuck him. He fucking blows dicks for meth.

 

[trailblazer18]

I believe we can come back and win but this is not just being outplayed, this is pathetic. They deserve to get booed.

 

[julius]

We won't win another game this season.

Knowing our luck, Denver will still fuck it up

 

[illmatic99]

 

[SheedSoNasty]

Leonard's offense and Lillard's defense making quite the turd sandwich in the last several minutes. We miss you terribly, Nurk.

 

[KingSpeed]

We desperately need this Meyers Leonard:

FTFY

 

[kingslayer]

Hall of Famer Rubio is sitting. Time to make a run.

 

[LuckyShot]

This is how incompetent Stotts is.

We have a small-ball 4 guarding one of the best low post centers on the league, and we won't double off of guys who can't shoot (Rubio, Wiggins, etc.)

I can't watch tonight. Are we at least trying to be aggressive on defense or are we still playing passive and giving up basically free points?

Silly question. I know what Stotts would do.... He acts like NBA players are incapable of playing more than one style of defense.

 

[ripcityboy]

On that new bank robbery flick.... I dont know how to explain to teenagers that Michael Caine was once the ultimate bad ass. Original Get Carter should be required viewing for adolescent males reaching puberty.

 

[illmatic99]

We desperately need this Meyers Leonard:

We desperately need Meyers Leonard off the floor

 

[BonesJones]

Leonard's offense and Lillard's defense making quite the turd sandwich in the last several minutes. We miss you terribly, Nurk.

Get 2 players like Nurk at the 3 and 4 and were contenders.

I mean, look at how much the absence of Nurk affects us.

 

[H.C.]

So those of you who watched the first 6 minutes on nbatv. Who started the game on Wiggins, Harkless?
