Game Thread GAME# 82: PELICANS @ BLAZERS - APRIL 12, 2017 - WEDNESDAY, 7:30 (PDT), ESPN & KGW

They aren't going to broadcast our second round???

Blazer broadcasting doesn't broadcast games beyond the 1st round. All games after that are broadcast nationally.

 

[ripcityboy]

So we could move up to 15 if we lose this game? OH GOD WHATEVER YOU DO GUYS DON'T LOSE THIS GAME..... I mean try your hardest..... WHATEVER YOU DO!

 

[BBert]

The guy only shoots 35% from three. Winning and not shooting any more threes kind of go hand in hand.

I wish Evan Turner would start putting the team first, and stop shooting threes

 

[BlazerCaravan]

beautiful set up

Me too, to be honest

 

[BBert]

I said that putting personal interests above the team interests is douchey. IF that is in fact what he's doing, then it qualifies as such, IMO. If the sudden lack of perimeter shooting is simply coincidental, then it's not douchey.

Come on--as long as I've been around, and considering my history, you really can't give me the benefit of the doubt here?

I'm going to need a longer baseline; bigger sample size.

You're on probation!

Does he really shoot threes, though? I would say he is more shot putting Dragon Balls than hitting 3s. He's as far away from being Ray Allen as anybody in the league.

That airball from the top of the key during the SA game shows his actual range.

 

[BBert]

There were so many games a year free on KGW including the first round of the playoffs that weren't being broadcast nationally.

That ends this year.

Yep. And those are the only non-national games I can watch.

From @HCP

Is this a hint that he will be doing Talkin'Ball tonight?

No jumping. Just shooting.

There's a reason it's called a jumpshot.

Blazer fan long?

 

[Elton]

Let us pray.

Forgive us, O Lord, for this our dreadful toadying!

"No jumping"

This clip is a bit more encouraging. He looked like he was avoiding landing on his injured leg in the first clip. Looked like he was even a little gimpy. I don't think he's ready to go 100%, which terrifies the hell out of me that we're going to get him injured further if we try to play him... As much as I'd love to give GS a run for their money, I'd rather have Nurk healthy in the future and make more noise next season.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Let's go Blazers! Get a win tonight!

You know Pacers won. Just sayin. Nothing KILLING us from letting this one skip away.

 

[Darkwebs]

 

[ripcityboy]

If Turner and Layman don't take any outside shots it might actually help us win. Shoot guys.... shoot!

 

[Chris Craig]

Let's go blazers!!!!

 

[BonesJones]

So if we win we get 15th or 16th, if we lose we get 16th or 17th.

 

[Chris Craig]

RIP city jerseys love it

 

[rotary111]

I would love to see Meyers or Layman have great games tonight. Both of them can use some confidence.

TURN DOWN FOR....Shabazz Napier and Tim Frazier
