Game Thread PRESEASON GAME# 3: JAZZ @ BLAZERS - OCTOBER 7, 2018 - SUNDAY, 6:00 PM (PST), NBATV & NBCSNW

[Strenuus]

MEYERS WENT INTO THE PAINT!

 

[ripcityboy]

Biggie/Meyers.... no bueno.

 

[Strenuus]

I gave him shit, but Meyers is doing decent.

 

[Strenuus]

Bye bye lead.

 

[James lamphear]

This 2nd unit is not doing good.

 

[BonesJones]

I gope you guys watched Stauskas' defense during that stretch.

It was horrible. Not Dame or CJ bad, like Meyers trying to guard the perimeter bad...

 

[JDC]

This 2nd unit is not doing good.

More like 3rd unit...

 

[BonesJones]

There was a reason we didn't. He never had position. (And Baldwin did, he was wanting to, but couldn't)

He did. The pass over the top was there...

 

[Strenuus]

I gope you guys watched Stauskas' defense during that stretch.

It was horrible. Not Dame or CJ bad, like Meyers trying to guard the perimeter bad...

LOL. Stauskas and Meyers on the same unit is gonna be rough.

 

[Strenuus]

He did. The pass over the top was there...

Which Baldwin wanted to do but never did it because Mitchell defended him well. A dude a few inches taller than him. Meyers has gotta fight more.

 

[Strenuus]

I so want biggie to do well..

I just don't know if he will.

 

[Rozay]

Nurk got a lot better

 

[Driew]

But it was the fact that we shot 7 or 8 jumpers before even trying to get to the rim or work the ball inside. And it wasn't like it was 7 great looks... there was 3 long 2s early in the clock.

Very true--and that's kind of how Utah's defense lulls other teams to shoot those quick jumpers.

 

[Strenuus]

Do you guys feel Lillard is getting stuck in the air more? Could it be because he has new guys he needs to learn, and it's a mattr of time?

 

[Rozay]

Yea Nurk is much more in control of himself and his defense his good as always

 

[B-Roy]

Meyers has looked much better on offense, but he's still a mess on defense and on rebounds.

 

[JDC]

God Nurk looks good

 

[BonesJones]

I like Nurk shooting 3s.

 

[BonesJones]

Which Baldwin wanted to do but never did it because Mitchell defended him well. A dude a few inches taller than him. Meyers has gotta fight more.

Baldwin should've thrown it to the rim

 

[ripcityboy]

I so want biggie to do well..

I just don't know if he will.

We got a lot of players like that!

 

[JDC]

I like Nurk shooting 3s.

I'm hoping for 2 attempts a game and for his usage to drop to the 22%-23% range.

 

[ripcityboy]

We gunna have priblems with turnovers this year. Holy @#!@

 

[Strenuus]

What did Lillard wait for on that rebound? lol that was funny.

 

[Darkwebs]

Nurk is loose with his passing

 

[ripcityboy]

Lets never have a fast break..... K.

 

[Strenuus]

That pass to Ingles was sexy. He was literally in his shooting motion before the ball got to him.

 

[ripcityboy]

Does anybody on this team know what to do with the fucking ball?

 

[Strenuus]

4 turnovers in the last 5 possessions. lol.

Still have the lead, though.

 

[BonesJones]

Surprised no one mentioned this:

That Layman wide open cut to the rim... did y'all notice where Gobert was? Checking Nurkic on the 3pt line.

 

[e_blazer]

God Nurk looks good

Pssst: 6 turnovers in the first half isn’t optimal.
