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

[Labinot41]

Imagine we would have forwards who can shot

 

[Jade Falcon]

Thank God for this timeout. Nurk looks gassed. Great hustle by the big man!

 

[SIeepwalker]

I dream of a second unit full of Energy guys.

Like Wade Baldwin ?

 

[B-Roy]

Good lord we take some dumb ass shots.

 

[BonesJones]

Got lucky that Murray missed that.

Would love to blow them out. End there season and get some rest in the 4th. Clinch HCA and then root for Golden State.

Getting ahead of myself here, but that's what we need to be aiming for. Step on their throat.

 

[DDolla]

Lets Go Nurk!!!

 

[Labinot41]

Aminu Today in brainless mode

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I love the Napier switch on to Jokic. A 6' guard on a 7' PF totally works every time.

It's not really as easy as it looks to post up against Napier.

 

[TBpup]

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.

Of course he couldn't tell....because that would have taken vision. Like I said, probably best he did what he did...because he doesn't look to pass and doesn't pass that well. You gunners have each other's backs.

 

[BonesJones]

Good lord we take some dumb ass shots.

We get more foul calls when we just play compared to actually searching out calls.

 

[DDolla]

Imagine we would have forwards who can shot

Paul George next season

 

[BonesJones]

It's not really as easy as it looks to post up against Napier.

Napier knows how to use his weight. Gets up under the big man so that Jokic can't use his leg strength as leverage. Get's right behind the knee so that the leg can't extend and push into the back down. I always guarded bigger post up brutes in high school and this is how I did it.

 

[BonesJones]

Gotta stop turning the ball over.

 

[BlazerBeav]

11 to 5 on fouls now?

 

[BlazerBeav]

12-5.

 

[Labinot41]

Horrible Refs again

 

[kingslayer]

3rd foul on Nurk

 

[BlazerBeav]

The fucking fix is in again.

 

[BonesJones]

Of course he couldn't tell....because that would have taken vision. Like I said, probably best he did what he did...because he doesn't look to pass and doesn't pass that well. You gunners have each other's backs.

How often do you see someone running a fast break and running backwards? If you can beat the first defender and get an easy lay-in, you do it. If you can't, then you slow the ball down to see if you have numbers and try to make the defender choose. CJ made the right play.

 

[SynTax]

Aminu has been so bad lately. Really need him to step up (on offense)

 

[BonesJones]

Here comes to the refs

 

[Strenuus]

Caleb in before Meyers. LUL.

 

[Boise Blazer]

A first half tech is not a big deal Stotts. You have to hold the refs accountable

 

[BonesJones]

Aminu has been so bad lately. Really need him to step up.

He overachieved as a shooter to start this season.

 

[TBpup]

3rd on Nurk....that hurts. This is where giving away games against teams like Memphis/Dallas really hurts. Now there is so little room for error and the refs can screw you.

 

[Labinot41]

Shiiiiit swanigan is really slow

 

[BonesJones]

THATS a bad shot by CJ.

 

[BonesJones]

That's a GOOD shot by CJ.

 

[SynTax]

He overachieved as a shooter to start this season.

I agree. But I think he's better than he has been the last bunch of games.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Less Turner threes.
