Game Thread Game #9 - BLAZERS vs PACERS - NOVEMBER 5, 2021 - FRIDAY, 7:00 PM, ROOT SPORTS

[UKRAINEFAN]

Crazy to see how the refs are calling games so far. So much contact is allowed, especially on drives. Reminds me of international play.

It seems like the physically stronger players will prosper.

 

[Strenuus]

I've been so impressed with Simons

 

[Strenuus]

We still suck at closing out.

 

[Chris Craig]

Don't let Indiana get hot from three

 

[Mr. Robot]

dame should stop forcing and play within the flow of the game

3-pointers will start falling, just needs to stop forcing it already

 

[Strenuus]

Little got the foul but I love that aggressiveness. He read the play.

 

[Cugel]

too selfish

 

[VenomXL]

Pacers right back in it.

 

[Blazinaway]

he was doin real well but the forced threes HAVE TO GO

 

[Strenuus]

The last 3 was a shot clock issue but I hear you.

 

[Chris Craig]

Damn Pacers coming back

Still have the lead after one though

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

We held then to 14 points below their first quarter average, despite those two consecutive terrible defensive possessions.

 

[James lamphear]

Good start but still having problems with shooting the 3.

 

[Mr. Robot]

Damn Pacers coming back

Still have the lead after one though

nurk goes out and the defense crumbles

 

[DUB]

Strength from Nas!

 

[bobf]

Little may be the best Blazer at being able to take contact and still finish.

 

[Strenuus]

Simons with the block!

 

[VenomXL]

Ant and Nas are the future for sure.

 

[DUB]

Great hops Ant!

 

[bobf]

In two years Ant will be blocking that shot with his lips.

 

[Strenuus]

Just give it to simons. Beautiful.

 

[bobf]

Like Curry Simons releases his shot on the way up which is ideal.

 

[Strenuus]

Why are we doubling down low again with a small guard?

 

[bobf]

Nice screen Larry

 

[James lamphear]

Simons and Little playing well out there.

 

[DUB]

Great decision by Nance to dribble the ball up the court himself.

 

[Chris Craig]

Two straight threes from CJ

Let's break this open

 

[Blazinaway]

Just give it to simons. Beautiful.

Simons is really having a nice game so far and breakout season

 

[OneSport3]

Like Curry Simons releases his shot on the way up which is ideal.

Exactly. That’s why both have such quick releases and don’t need much space to get a shot off.

 

[Strenuus]

If this is the bench we get most of the year....
