Game Thread GAME# 82: JAZZ @ BLAZERS - APRIL 11, 2018 - WEDNESDAY, 7:30 PM (PDT), ESPN & NBCSNW

Should cut ET minutes.

 

[hoopsjock]

I liked the rotation tonight. I think that’s the playoff rotation. Stotts cut Pat and Napier’s minutes and put in Baldwin. Props to him.

While Harkless is still out against the Pelicans it makes sense for Balwin to be the backup 3 against their wings.

He probably did that because we had hca anyway

 

[DDolla]

Love what I saw with Baldwin, we can use him to guard Holiday

Yeah he matches up well with them. They pretty much start three guards and their backups are all good matchups for Baldwin.

 

[noknobs]

Loved Evan Turners defense on Mitchell

 

[tykendo]

A flatout fantastic performance to cap the regular season. Dame is one special leader. Good to see CJ get it going again. Ed and Zach playing great combo basketball as well. And even though his finishing was off, Nurk was dispensing justice in crunchtime. Got a good feeling. Time to go Nurk-u-ler. Keep doubting Dame world, because that's like adding fuel to the fire. "rip city!", Yes Sir.

Baldwin guarded everyone from Mitchell to Crowder. Not bad for basically a Rookie.

 

[riverman]

Loved Evan Turners defense on Mitchell

He really shut him out of the game...it was a huge factor in the win...top shelf defense

 

[H.C.]

Baldwin just needs to not commit stupid fouls.
Past two games he's got tagged for this shit. It could keep him out of the playoff rotation.

 

[illmatic99]

We have no one who can guard Davis. This won't be easy

 

[TBpup]

Maybe Aminu will just outscore him....

 

[riverman]

We have no one who can guard Davis. This won't be easy

Chief and ET will probably chase him around most of the time if he wants to shoot from outside

 

[riverman]

Maybe Aminu will just outscore him....

yeah and I hope that means Chief scores 10 pts

 

[Jade Falcon]

Guard everyone else. He can't win a game by himself.

That was my worry after his initial game in Memphis. He is basically a rookie in the refs minds. He is not going to get the benefit of the doubt like others might. But regardless it is great experience for him and could pay off for us next year.

 

[rotary111]

Great game!!

Division champs!

 

[stampedehero]

At least we didn't fall into the playoffs. Its always better to have a win before we start.

 

[KingSpeed]

Great game!!

Division champs!

raise the banner!!!

 

[KingSpeed]

We don't need to guard him. He can't score the 115 that they will need to beat us. We need to shut everyone else down. Jrue and Mirotic.

I was using reverse thinking. Actually I read the question wrong. It's all good. The Blazers won, and that's what I wanted.

 

[DDolla]

I want that Northwest Division Champ T-Shirt

 

[theprunetang]

What a fucking season! I have no idea what will happen in the playoffs. And that is awesome.

Wasn’t aware there was a season for that. Do you need a license and what’s the limit?

It's always fucking season, my man.

Reverse Jinx

 

[PtldPlatypus]

I will ask again. Did Dame lock up the free throw percentage title for this season? I can't see how he couldn't have.

The 4 he missed on Monday in Denver pretty much ruined his chance at it, I think.

 

[Boob-No-More]

He came in 3rd at .916. Curry was first at .921 and Chris Paul was 2nd at .919, but Dame made more FTs (493) than the two of them combined (481).

If Dame was like Westbrook he wouldn't have shot a jump shot for the last 2 weeks of the season. Just drive to get those foul shots. Set a record.
