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

[PDXFonz]

Someone should point out to Marv and Mike that the Timber industry was huge in Oregon.

I was like....uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Then again I was born and raised in Oregon and my family were loggers. Guess people still don't know much about our great state.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Yeah, he was benefitting from the presence of Nurk, and he's been a brick machine without him.

Have you thought just maybe he is in a 3 game slump? He was just super blazing hot for a month...

 

[illmatic99]

What's wrong with Damian lately? If we needed anyone to step up in Nurk's absense it was him.

He's pressing. And he's getting no help from these screens as they're just leading to double teams. Feel like he get better looks if he just goes 1 on 1

 

[H.C.]

Yeah, he was benefitting from the presence of Nurk, and he's been a brick machine without him.

CJ is 4-10 and shot horribly last time against the T-wolves too.
Both Portland's guards have been off shooting lately.

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

The Pelicans are gonna smash us so hard...

 

[PDXFonz]

The Pelicans are gonna smash us so hard...

I'm hoping they rest AD. If they rest Boogie too that would be great.

 

[Jade Falcon]

The Pelicans are gonna smash us so hard...

Oh God....Boogie and Davis....

Oh boy....

 

[AFully22]

That 3rd foul on KAT at the end of the half was great for us. Need to try and get him to a quick 4 at the beginning of second half.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

So.... what's Earl Barron doing lately?

 

[KingSpeed]

That 3rd foul on KAT at the end of the half was great for us. Need to try and get him to a quick 4 at the beginning of second half.

Agreed. Dame should attack him immediately

 

[BonesJones]

Meyers Leonard is the fucking center. Watch the damn pick n rolls and do some critical thinking instead of hating.

When you have a beast who rolls hard to the hoop, you have to respect that.

When you have a C who constantly bricks 3s and always pops, do you really think defenses WON'T smother Dame?

Dame makes a living on pick n rolls, and Meyers is killing him.

Vonleh can't shoot, so he rolls. His hands are made of stone though, and when does catch it, he dribbles when he shouldn't, and gets himself stuck.

 

[BonesJones]

Towns whines too much. He always thinks he was fouled and that he never fouls on the defensive end.

Yeah, he seems like a bitch.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Meyers Leonard is good fucking center. Watch the damn pick n rolls and do some critical thinking instead of hating.

....Bones, I'm sorry....I honestly don't know if you're joking or not.

 

[Sinobas]

Man, seems like this shit happens to the Blazers every year. They get through a rough spot in their schedule, and come to a huge "home stand" and lay an egg.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

So... the halftime show is a bunch of white pre teens dancing... that was cringe worthy

 

[BonesJones]

....Bones, I'm sorry....I honestly don't know if you're joking or not.

I meant "the" not "good" haha.

 

[illmatic99]

It's only halftime and already it's midnight.

 

[KingSpeed]

It's only halftime and already it's midnight.

Welcome to the East coast?

 

[H.C.]

So Rubio went 6-7 in the first quarter with 3 assists, finished the half 7-15 still with 3 assists.
Just need to slow up Wiggins, because Rubio aint going 6-7 in the 3rd. Kat is going to get his due to Portland not having a Center who can bang with him. Just keep him off the glass.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

I'm really surprised we haven't tried to nab a D-League All Star big man that isn't affiliated with an NBA team yet

 

[riverman]

Big 3rd qtr run!

 

[LuckyShot]

I'm really surprised we haven't tried to nab a D-League All Star big man that isn't affiliated with an NBA team yet

Does such a player exist? From what I can tell, the D-League is a 6'8" and under glorified rat ball league.

 

[LuckyShot]

Well either we will come out with a renewed sense of purpose and fight, or we'll roll over and get stomped...

 

[kingslayer]

Aminu sigh

 

[KingSpeed]

Wow

 

[H.C.]

Aggravating me that this team is so reliant on CJ and Lillard to score.
The possession to open up the half fully demonstrates that.
FFS

 

[ripcityboy]

Well Aminu just made Shaq's reel tonight.

 

[Jon]

Shaqtin a fool nominee!!!

 

[Jade Falcon]

Aminu....

Blazers only had one losing home stretch out of all of their home stretches last season.

They won all of their home stretches the year before

They also won all of their home stretches the year before that

Stop trolling
