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

This is probably our best defensive lineup.

What was the lineup?

 

[Tince]

OK is this the first time I seen this line up of Dame, GT, RoCo, Melo and Nurk?

It appears that's what Stotts was going for last game too, but I believe one of the forwards was in foul trouble.

 

[riverman]

Dame is obviously pissed about last game. He’s taken it upon his shoulder to set an aggressive, no-mercy tone.

The top ten scorers list came out the other day and his name was nowhere to be found....he's gotta be embarrassed about his recent slump

 

[James lamphear]

Nice half Dame with 26/4/5 and best offense game for Nurk. But was the 2nd that got us starter though. We have 15 assist we out rebounding them by 8. Good things happen when you get others involved. We need to continue the same kind of play we have happened to go back where we don't move the ball and the other team goes on a run.

 

[bobf]

Bad Nurk is still slightly better than Kanter.

Yeah but bad Nurk sucks compared to even regular a Nurk.

 

[bobf]

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

I know. I didn’t feel good at all about that quarter. Minn missed three bunnies in a row I think.

 

[DDolla]

Dame going for 60

 

[riverman]

Enes...5 boards 6 pts...2 blocks...2 steals.....in 9 minutes

 

[Tince]

Even our crap defense doesn't give up 47 points in a qaurter!

 

[twobullz]

If I had one complaint is they really need to focus on trying to get ROCO and DJJ going. 3 points on offense is not enough for your two starting forwards.

Need to run some back cuts for DJJ

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Let's put these fuckers away in the third!

 

[riverman]

I believe Holton just said that qtr we set a franchise record for pts in a qtr with 47

 

[BlazerBeav]

Nurk jumps the initial pass and forces a timeout. Much better effort.

We're not good enough right now to do anything but try and win. Those guys can work on their offensive moves/shooting on their own time until they're ready.

 

[bobf]

Don’t get happy. Keys to every game:
1. Value every possession
2. Good shot selection
3. Stay in front of your guy

 

[BlazerBeav]

I believe Holton just said that qtr we set a franchise record for pts in a qtr with 47

record for points in the 2nd quarter. Still have the 49 point first quarter against the Spurs in 1991.

 

[riverman]

wow..Big Ed blocked Nurk?

 

[Darkwebs]

Suck it, Westbrick

 

[bobf]

Don’t foul a guy you’ve got taking a crap shot

 

[riverman]

Hello DJJ!

 

[bobf]

DJJ for three. Just keep gunning those Derrick!!

 

[bobf]

RoCo broke the trap there you go.

 

[Tince]

I'll take "Phrases from opposing coaches, for $200"

 

[bobf]

Kick that out for a 3 Nurk

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Kick that out for a 3 Nurk

Ya RoCO was WIDE open in the corner

 

[bobf]

LOL. This is the poor mans path to a D and three player. Get someone who can play D and force him to take 3’s until he gets it. Have faith.

 

[B-Roy]

Nurk has JaVale like BBIQ moments sometimes.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Damn CJ get some

 

[Tince]

Hey, that was a decent move by DJJ. He's got a rep as an Aminu-like ball handler.

 

[bobf]

There we go!
