Game Thread GAME# 82: KINGS @ BLAZERS - APRIL 10, 2019 - WEDNESDAY, 7:30 PM, NBCSNW

[DDolla]

Give Olshey props!
Look at the mix new players he has brought in this year alone that have stepped up. 3rd seed in the WC is commendable especially for a team that wasn’t supposed to even the playoffs according to many.
53 wins baby!
CC had it pegged now all he needs to do is give Neil and Terry some props!
Bingo bango bongo !

If you are talking about regular season games then yes, props to Olshey. Give him praise after playoff games.

 

[LayneStaley]

At least we didn’t get blown out by okc twice.

 

[James lamphear]

We got some really nice young players Zach Simons Trent and great trade steal Skals for swanigan.

 

[Darkwebs]

Blazers down 28 to win the game. Biggest Blazers comeback win since 2000, said the talking voice on the TV! Damn, son!

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Shit, I think Simmons and Skal earned a couple playoff minutes here and there tonight.

Although, didn't tonight give some pause about whether it's a good idea to play a lot of guys?

 

[HailBlazers]

So who is the last 19 year old in their first NBA start who had 37 points and 9 assists?

WELL?

 

[Darkwebs]

Largest deficit at halftime EVER for a team to comeback and win on the final day of the season!

 

[tlongII]

Meyers played well too. Come on admit it.

 

[TBpup]

WELL?

I have no idea. Was asking for those who research those types of things.

 

[Natebishop3]

And those guys didn’t get a break. Amazing poise and effort from our young guys.

 

[Darkwebs]

WELL?

I don't know, but the TV just told me that Anfernee's 37 points matches the most scored by a first-time starter in the NBA since 1985-86.

 

[HailBlazers]

I have no idea. Was asking for those who research those types of things.

Thought for sure that was you.

 

[kjironman1]

What i watched was the entire Blazer team not give a damn about tanking and pulling for a win no matter what. THAT IS MY BLAZERS!

Now go take care of business against the Thunder!

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Stotts really sucks at tanking....

 

[kjironman1]

Gonna be a very entertaining series folks.

 

[tiredhunter]

Props to the rooks/bench for not quitting on the game.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Big ups to @TorturedBlazerFan for bringing my wife and me to the game. Great time, great company, amazing second half. What a way to finish the regular season!

So who is the last 19 year old in their first NBA start who had 37 points and 9 assists?

Not sure about 'their first start', but here's a list of 19 year-olds that scored 37 or more points:



Only 5 different 19 year-olds have scored 37 or more points. Cliff Robinson (not the Blazers Uncle Cliffy), LeBron, Durant, Carmelo, and now Simons.

That's good company Simons has there.

 

[Cugel]

Get this young man some more minutes. Stat.

 

[DDolla]

How can we beat OKC when they swept us with a healthy Nurk?

 

[LayneStaley]

How can we beat OKC when they swept us with a healthy Nurk?

We have nothing to lose, no one expects us to win, pressure is on them. Me thinks pressure and Westprick don’t go together very well.

 

[KingSpeed]

it is LOUD

It was really fucking loud. Best games of the year: opening night, Dame's 10 threes, Jake's 20 point quarter, and tonight

So who is the last 19 year old in their first NBA start who had 37 points and 9 assists?

Great question. I think there's a record there somewhere.

Wilt had 58 as a rookie....twice

 

[blue9]

Also what if Denver loses to the Spurs? We would all be glad that we are the 3 seed if that happened.

Honestly wouldn't be surprised. The only surprising thing would be LA being a key-player getting his team past the first round. But DEN? They aren't as good as their record. If they had drawn OKC in the 1st I would have (I actually wouldn't, because I don't bet) put money on OKC knocking them out.

 

[blue9]

Stotts really sucks.

FIFY

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Thanks for coming with us, that was awesome!

Still a little in shock the Blazers won that. What a game for Anfernee!

 

[blue9]

Get this young man some more minutes. Stat.

I mean, he can take all of both Turner's and Curry's minutes. Curry can't pass, and Turner can't shoot - apparently Simons can do both!

 

[Nurkalicious]

OKC sucks. Relax

The regular season head to head doesn’t mean much

Simons can't defend a lawn chair though..he's trying

Neither can Turner or Curry, sooooo....
