Game Thread GAME# 9: LAKERS @ BLAZERS - NOVEMBER 2, 2017 - THURSDAY, 7:30 (PDT), TNT

[Sinobas]

Wouldn’t need hero ball if we didn’t play hero ball all game long, just sayin’

They call this the "flow" offense, but this year there is no flow at all.

 

[HailBlazers]

So are you two going to meet up at Mt. Tabor so he can suck your dick?

 

[Scalma]

On a serious note, we need to start trusting Nurkic more, especially late in games. Those miracle shots are cool but Nurk needs to develop that low post game. He can get to his spots against anyone, all that needs development is his patience and decision making. That only comes with opportunity and time.

 

[jonnyboy]

I've never been less stoked about a win. Kuzma was wide open and barely missed. What an ugly ass game.

 

[Scalma]

I'll bite that little thing off and spit it out.

Meet me in temecula.

 

[Chris Craig]

Kid is fun to watch. He's like Jordan with no defense.

So Kobe?

 

[FlashWad]

I am really happy we won. Especially against the Lakers. But all this win does is give Stotts another game to coach. If we had lost he would of definitely been on his way out. No way in hell should the Lakers be allowed to score that much on our home court.

Dame is so god damn cold. God bless that man

Yea after Nurk had two buckets in a row down low CJ was wide open for three. It's all about being able to draw the double team. Also need to get much better at entry passes for once.

He's got to work on those hands. Keeps knocking balls around. He's off balance. Especially late in games.

Now we get to watch Dame dribble until there's no time left and then jack up a shitty shot at the buzzer. We might as well only put Dame on the floor by himself.

Umm....

 

[LuckyShot]

Umm....

Yes?

 

[Hey]

Walton is a good coach. Those were two excellent drawn up plays at the end. More than I can say about ours.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Dame saved Stott's job tonight, that's for damn sure.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Yes?

Well, it wasn't a shitty shot.

 

[HailBlazers]

Yes?

A la B-Roy?

 

[TBpup]

On the catch on both of their last 2 3-pt attempts, no one was near the shooter. Closing out after the fact is no going to do it.

 

[LuckyShot]

Well, it wasn't a shitty shot.

Only because he made it this time lol.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

This is why we can't have nice wins.

 

[TBpup]

Exactly right. If that doesn't go in, the amount of posts on why did Dame go 1-on-1 with no passes for the final possession would have been justified. Shot went in and you can't take that away but it wasn't a good possession. How many times does that shot go in?

 

[Chris Craig]

Dame saved Stott's job tonight, that's for damn sure.

Stotts better thank his lucky stars. He still needs to get his shit together. Blazers got to play better than this to keep winning.

 

[EGame]

This is why we can't have nice wins.

Thats because it wasnt a nice win

 

[Chris Craig]

Gotta love TNT...replaying the last shot and trying to excuse Kuzma's miss instead of congratulating the Blazers.

 

[Sinobas]

Stotts better thank his lucky stars. He still needs to get his shit together. Blazers got to play better than this to keep winning.

On that last play, CJ was standing in the middle of of no where. 3 point lead with .7 left, all you have to do is defend the 3pt line. I know we won yadda yadda, but team is still making all the same mistakes that have been costing them close games.

 

[Boise Blazer]

Interesting that all of our starters except Dame had a negative +/- while all the bench players were in the positive. Meanwhile our starters had the bulk of our points.

 

[illmatic99]

Don't think Terry makes it too long. He's slipping. I want someone new. And I've supported him long enough

 

[TBpup]

9 out of 10 highlight are of the Lakers. Blazer finally get a few at the end.

 

[Chris Craig]

Who could we find thats better?

 

[illmatic99]

Who could we find thats better?

That process should have already started. I wonder if Vanterpool is ready. He seems to be the guy who actually coaches Dame when he makes mistakes.

 

[Sinobas]

In the post game presser, someone asked Terry a question, it wasn't audible, but Terry puts his head down on the table, like he's seriously annoyed then walks out.
