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

Ed brings energy. Baldwin brings energy. but Stotts will never play both together?

 

[TBpup]

No he didn't? He had a good, longer defender ahead of him, got his defender off balance than took away the shot blocker by using the rim as a shield on a reverse layup. That's a very easy layup for me, and definitely is for C.J. That was a great play.

I get what he was saying though. If he just stays wide left, he has Collins on the right for an easy dunk. Then again, that means he would have had to have passed the ball...and if he did, not at Zach's feet. Maybe it's better he did what he did.

 

[BonesJones]

Foul count?

 

[kingslayer]

Nurk is beasting

 

[ripcityboy]

Turner needs to take his shit back to the YMCA

Don't worry, only two more years of his contract sagging on our books.

 

[Labinot41]

GREAT NURK!!!!!!!

 

[BlazerBeav]

Nurk needs to keep killing these bums while avoiding a third foul.

 

[joeBlazers]

I dream of a second unit full of Energy guys.

 

[TBpup]

Foul count?

Blazers - 9
Nuggets - 4

If you can get an easy lay-in without a pass, you do it.

 

[BonesJones]

We gotta feed the beast.

 

[BonesJones]

Blazers - 9
Nuggets - 4

Sounds about right.

 

[Labinot41]

Holy shit every Denver possession they Call a foul

 

[TBpup]

If you can get an easy lay-in without a pass, you do it.

Being a PG, I'll take an easy dunk by a teammate to keep them involved instead of going 1-1 all the time.

You're just a gunner....lol.

 

[joeBlazers]

OKC blowing out the SHEAT in miami.

 

[BonesJones]

That was a good call.

 

[H.C.]

Aminu, please.
Please Aminu...

 

[ripcityboy]

Can count on Nurk to try and end Denver's playoff aspirations.

Easy lay-in ahead of the pack or try to pass backwards and risk a turnover there or a block from behind on Collins...

 

[Strenuus]

Nurk with the dub dub already.

 

[BonesJones]

YES NURK

 

[TBpup]

Nurk with an early double-double.

 

[BonesJones]

Good job Aminu.

Our defense has tightened up, and that's why we're playing well. We win and lose games on the defensive end.

 

[joeBlazers]

If Denver loses and Twolves win, are the Nuggets out?

 

[BonesJones]

Aminu move the ball holy hell

 

[TBpup]

Easy lay-in ahead of the pack or try to pass backwards and risk a turnover there or a block from behind on Collins...

He wasn't ahead though. He had to cross over twice and finish with a contested reverse. You gunners are so tunnel visioned.

 

[ripcityboy]

Nice one Bazz!

 

[BonesJones]

Smart defense by Nurk. Good help by Aminu, great fast break!

 

[kingslayer]

Aminu still hasn't found his shot but good to see him being tenacious on defense

 

[BonesJones]

He wasn't ahead though. He had to cross over twice and finish with a contested reverse. You gunners are so tunnel visioned.

He knew he only had one man to beat. He couldn't tell if Zach had someone trailing right behind. Easy lay-in is always better than a backwards pass on the break.
