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

[Strenuus]

So, I found out that I'm closing on Opening night... and oddly, I'm really okay with it. I really wouldnt be able to handle the national TV crew anyway.

 

[JDC]

Stauskas might be the favorite for the 10th man spot for me.

Nurk looks to be in for big minutes this year. Like 32ish.

 

[ripcityboy]

I don't think we've had a second round pick since Olshey took over.

 

[BonesJones]

Nurkic looks sooooo good.

 

[Chris Craig]

Nurkic looks sooooo good.

With that new three to boot...yeeesssss!

 

[ripcityboy]

I'm fine with Nurk shooting 3s.. No other proven solid contributors in that area.

 

[illmatic99]

just a whole new look to our attack if he can hit that and draw defenses out

 

[ripcityboy]

Wanr to see some more of Layman.

 

[illmatic99]

CJ getting to the line.

 

[Rozay]

Am I the only one who likes Stauskas?

He’s not bad and his defense is better than I thought

 

[Strenuus]

Nice, Meyers.

 

[KingSpeed]

I don't think we've had a second round pick since Olshey took over.

huh? Crabbe, Layman, Trent etc

 

[Darkwebs]

Simons got some nice moves

 

[julius]

huh? Crabbe, Layman, Trent etc

I believe each of those were 2nd round picks that the team purchased on draft night.

 

[santeesioux]

Does Simons look like he still has a couple of inches of growth, or is that just because he looks 14?

 

[The Professional Fan]

Simons legit looks like a high school player I’m having a hard time taking him seriously it’s so bizarre

It looks so weird. It's like someone in the crowd won a contest to play a few minutes on the court.

Exactly

And he's making legit NBA moves to get to the rim

 

[Jade Falcon]

I've missed most of this game. My apologies. Give me a brief run down of how we're doing. How did Nurk play?

I caught the last two minutes of Q3.

he working the hair for the extra inches

 

[James lamphear]

Good time out.

 

[Jade Falcon]

I want a free t-shirt.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Blazer bench getting killed again this game.

 

[BonesJones]

I'm fine with Nurk shooting 3s.. No other proven solid contributors in that area.

Much rather have him shoot 3s than long 2s.

 

[Chris Craig]

I caught the last two minutes of Q3.

We have played well. Led most the way. Nurk has kicked ass shooting good from the 3 too...jazz came back

 

[BonesJones]

Nurkic 8-9 with two 3s.

If he can play 32-33mpg, I could see him averaging 20/11. That'd be all-star production especially given his defense.

 

[julius]

damnit, those guys talking in the background are back.

 

[BonesJones]

Seth is so much better than Baldwin haha
