Game Thread GAME# 8: TIMBERWOLVES @ BLAZERS - JANUARY 7, 2021 - THURSDAY, 7:00 PM, NBCSNW

[James lamphear]

no energy, no movement, no passing, just guys sitting and watching the ball on both ends.

Must be a normal night for these guys.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Melo looking good early.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Melo running the fast break too!

 

[Titan]

Are we good again?

 

[bobf]

Melo what a pig

 

[riverman]

Bench mob came to rock and roll! Hello Rodney!

 

[Tince]

Are people still in love with Vanderpool? Other than Dame?

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Stick with those catch and shoot threes, Melo. If I was your coach you would come off the court if you shot anything else.

how does jake freaking layman get thru a zone defense with one move

 

[riverman]

Have I mentioned how much I appreciate Kanter?

 

[AldoTrapani]

Kanter should really teach Nurk how to finish. This guy is light years better offensively than Nurk

 

[James lamphear]

2nd unit playing very well out there.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Much better energy. Here’s hoping they sustain it tonight,

 

[riverman]

Kanter should really teach Nurk how to finish. This guy is light years better offensively than Nurk

Nurk is young...Enes has been around a lot more basketball his whole life....

 

[bobf]

Kanter should really teach Nurk how to finish. This guy is light years better offensively than Nurk

Light years better at scoring at the rim not light years better at offense.

 

[Darkwebs]

Gary could’ve gone for the layup, but he’s like, nah, I’m gonna get an extra point by shooting it behind the line. Same difficulty level

Against our defense? I'm guessing that is rhetorical...

 

[Titan]

I like this so far, seeing a lot of open catch and shoot threes

 

[James lamphear]

Bench already 19 points.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I like Hood's energy.

 

[Chris Craig]

Glad we are up. Don't like seeing the Blazers have a tough time against a KATless Minnesota

 

[Tince]

Bench already 19 points.

Higher than our 2019-20 average!

 

[Serbian]

Enes is just better than nurkic. Its simple. Usually defense might be nurkic advantage over kanter but im not even sure there. Kanter just better

 

[illmatic99]

is rodney on a minute restriction still

 

[Tince]

Our defense has been pretty bad this 2nd quarter, but Minnesota can't make anything.

 

[riverman]

Melo with a few assists in limited minutes.....bench mob produced!

 

[Darkwebs]

Something about the hoops at the Moda Center makes it dunk-resistant

 

[riverman]

is rodney on a minute restriction still

yes...at least I believe he is...he talked about it on an interview with Brooke

 

[James lamphear]

There you go getting points off assist playing together.

 

[Tince]

Saunders with very ineffective use of timeouts tonight. Where's the outrage?!?
