Game Thread PLAYOFFS: ROUND 1, GAME 1: BLAZERS @ WARRIORS - 4/16/17, SUNDAY, 12:30 PM (PDT), ABC

[bodyman5000 and 1]

John & Paul, Mick & Keef, Dame & CJ

Fab and Rob, Tom and Jerry and Meyers and Aminu

 

[BrianFromWA]

CJ started the day at 25th in Blazers playoff all-time scoring. 3 more points from taking over 21st. Decent first half.

 

[Strenuus]

Good to see some fair commentary from ESPN. Rep.

It's ABC.

 

[42N8Bounce]

Ugh was hoping CJ would take that record outright. Tied with Aldridge for most points as a Blazer in a half in a playoff game. LaMarsha needs to be dethroned from all those stats.

CJ will just have to score 28 or more in the second half then!

 

[B-Roy]

I hope that 7 minutes from Meyers is a trial run for the rest of the series.

....That he failed, and shouldn't play any more.

Honestly, against the Warriors, Meyers shouldn't play AT ALL. Both teams run small ball, there is absolutely no reason to play a stretch big when you match up with wings.

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

If we only had Nurk!

It'd be a 15 pt.lead

 

[riverman]

Great first half...I've got ET fever...no way I want to lose this guy or trade him...defense rules!

 

[riverman]

Meyers has serious stage fright...he's a bundle of nerves out there...

 

[Scalma]

So it's pretty clear that the Portland trail blazers are the best team in the NBA with Nurkic.

If CJ can make it to 58pts tonight, he takes over 17th place from Bill Walton.

I don't really have a problem with Nards in the game if MeGee is in. Otherwise yeah might want to cut his minutes.

 

[Chris Craig]

I was kinda scared when Meyers came in. Not Patty C though...watch he's gonna hit some 3s in the second half

 

[SlyPokerDog]

CJ McCollum (27) and Damian Lillard (21) are just two shy (48) of their combined ppg from this season (50), which led all NBA backcourts.

Dame should pass He Who Shall Not Be Named this season

7feetuspussitits, incurable

 

[Strenuus]

I don't really have a problem with Nards in the game if MeGee is in. Otherwise yeah might want to cut his minutes otherwise.

I have a problem with Meyers being in at any time.

 

[MickZagger]

Roy did some cool stuff out there, probably a more well rounded player. But, CJ is a nice consolation prize. CJ has the best array of ways to score that I've ever seen from a Blazer guard.

Some of our fickle fans were calling for him to be traded after year 2.

 

[LuckyShot]

Proud as hell that we're holding our own.

That said, the dam will break soon if no one else steps up. The shots they are making are much easier than the shots we are making.

Jalen rose...

Shut the fuck up forever

[Jon]

Jalen rose is a shitty homer

The

If we only had Nurk!

The Warriors wouldn't know what to do

Shut the fuck up forever

What's his whole "mamma''s boys" tag with Dame & CJ?

 

[riverman]

So it's pretty clear that the Portland trail blazers are the best team in the NBA with Nurkic.

and a healthy Ed Davis

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

Is a coma a time? You just mean playing right?

 

[H.C.]

Isn't Jalen Rose forever known as the guy Kobe dropped 81 on in 3 quarters?
stfu Jalen.

 

[MickZagger]

Jalen Rose needs to give up the 'mama boys' schtick. Both those 'mama's boys' are way better than you ever were.

What a weak burn

 

[Chris Craig]

So it's pretty clear that the Portland trail blazers are the best team in the NBA with Nurkic.

I love that we're talking shit to those punks

Pretty much. I do think Nurk changes this series. If he plays Wednesday were stealing a game. Series doesn't start until the road team wins.
