Game Thread GAME# 8: BLAZERS @ JAZZ - NOVEMBER 1, 2017 - WEDNESDAY, 6:00 (PDT), NBCSNW

[julius]

Well, that's ball game folks.

 

[Haakzilla]

Trade coming!

...soon!

 

[Strenuus]

That wasn't a foul on dame.

 

[Cippy91]

Timberwolves should of kept Rubio

 

[Sinobas]

The blazers aren't even playing offense like a professional team, it's like playground ball.

 

[VenomXL]

I wish this team would give me something to get excited about. Feels like early last season only worse because I was excited for Nurk.

 

[LuckyShot]

Down 3 with under 30 seconds, should we step out of the paint and do something on defense? Naw, just let him walk into a 3 and hope he misses... well shit no one could have seen that coming.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Does Dame even guard Rubio?

 

[Strenuus]

It's ova. GG.

 

[SIeepwalker]

Rubio with his third 3... Fuck off

 

[Sinobas]

These guys are just losers

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

We suck guys, outside of Dame/CJ we are trash. Third season in a row this is the case.

 

[LuckyShot]

Even with an OT period CJ can't make more FGs than TOs.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

fucking pathetic

 

[Pinwheel1]

Are you fucking kidding me with that screen.

 

[SIeepwalker]

Well, that's another game we should have won... sigh. Good night everybody

 

[Strenuus]

Does Dame even guard Rubio?

He guarded him well most o the game.

It's CJ that's been a horse pile of horse shit on a horse farm.

Typical blazer season boys!!!!

You all put waaaaay too much faith into nurk. Way too much. Overhyped him. However we are still not that far into the season at all sooo things could change but maybe you guys will stop treating him like a god around here for that sample size last season

Didn't fight around the pick well at all to be sure. That is why when you have both Dame and CJ, you have that type of defensive effort from 40% of your lineup.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Great pass!

 

[Sinobas]

pathetic

 

[BigGameDamian]

Great pass!

 

[H.C.]

Gameplan right there. Go under everything on Rubio.
I'm okay with that as to Rubio finding the open man.
Portland shouldn't be in a position that a Rubio three would cost them the game.

 

[Haakzilla]

Rubio with his third 3... Fuck off

...he proved last year that he finally found a reliable shooting stroke (similar to how it took Billups all those years to earn the "Big Shot" nickname)

 

[Strenuus]

Big ups to Dame for still fighting on that down 7 and the game in hand. Respect.

 

[Chris Craig]

Stotts needs to go

 

[LuckyShot]

Didn't fight around the pick well at all to be sure. That is why when you have both Dame and CJ, you have that type of defensive effort from 40% of your lineup.

I mean... what's he supposed to do though? He gets no help from the big because Stotts tells them to stand 3 feet from the rim, so the other guard just walks him into the screener. As long as the guard doesn't go early, there isn't much Dame can do without being called for a foul.

 

[Scalma]

This one is all on CJ. Someone tell him he's not being guarded by that corny New York trainer.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

so rubio doesnt fucking miss now?

Nurk had his best game of the season tonight. It was CJ that lost the game for them. It's been like this nearly every game. A key guy just shits the bed and the team isn't good enough to overcome it.
