Game Thread GAME# 81: BLAZERS @ NUGGETS - APRIL 9, 2018 - MONDAY, 6:00 PM (PST), NBCSNW

[The Professional Fan]

“Turner for 3” makes my ears bleed

 

[B-Roy]

Will Evan Turner stop shooting 3s? Find out next time on Blazers basketball!

 

[BonesJones]

Good ball movement.. Wish Turner would dive there instead of spot up.

 

[The Professional Fan]

What the ever loving fuck

 

[BlazerBeav]

So many missed shots. Could have a nice lead.

 

[BonesJones]

Yeah, lets put our 6'8 rookie on Jokic.

 

[Strenuus]

LMAO.

 

[BonesJones]

Dame has so many 3s that have been in n out.

 

[BonesJones]

Good roll Caleb.

 

[SIeepwalker]

I wish they would stop switching to this dumb camera on fast breaks....

 

[BonesJones]

@TBpup THAT was the perfect time for CJ to pass it back. Driving from the wing, would've been contested, so he dropped it back.

 

[ripcityboy]

Nice way to end the quarter.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Could have been better, but +7 at the break.

 

[TBpup]

Blazers end the half with a 7 point lead!!

 

[SIeepwalker]

Nice end to the half

 

[BonesJones]

Great take Dame!

 

[Titan]

I liked the effort to end the quarter.

 

[BonesJones]

Good teams end quarters well.

 

[SynTax]

I was really hoping Lillard was over that 3pt slump. But it looks like that's not the case. Hopefully he gets that back come playoffs.

 

[SIeepwalker]

Wade with 0 minutes. He has every right to be pissed

 

[H.C.]

As long as Portland doesn't turn it over. They should win this game.

You explaining passing to me is like Rosanne explaining dieting to Kate Moss.

 

[BonesJones]

Dame usually passes it out there. I wish he would shoot that backhanded lay-in more. It's there and it's hard to block. He'll shoot the inside hand layin driving baseline.. I wish he'd use that inside hand for those backhanded lay-ins.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Great end to the quarter! Dame once again proving that he is elite.

 

[BonesJones]

As long as Portland doesn't turn it over. They should win this game.

And continues to defend like they did in the 2nd.

 

[riverman]

now we're cookin'.....Nurk is a beast

 

[H.C.]

Nurk 30/30 watch.

11 points, 11 rebounds in 13 minutes.

 

[BonesJones]

Hah! Made the perfect decision on both those plays though, sometimes the pass isn't always the best decision!

 

[Jade Falcon]

Nurk 30/30 watch.

11 points, 11 rebounds in 13 minutes.

30/30? Not with his 3 fouls.

 

[TBpup]

Hah! Made the perfect decision on both those plays though, sometimes the pass isn't always the best decision!

Twice I've agreed he made the right decision because he isn't a willing or very good passer. The original comment from @Strenuus was that he made it more difficult than he needed to...which I believe was true. For any decent PG, it would have been an uncontested dunk for Collins.
