Game Thread GAME# 47: BLAZERS @ NUGGETS - JANUARY 22, 2018 - MONDAY, 6:00 PM (PST), NBCSNW

And he got it! Woo!

 

Where do you see the announcement? I have been checking NBA.com but haven't seen any news.

 

Lou has gotten POW twice. Weeks ending f Jan 1 and Jan 15. Davis got one in Nov: https://www.basketball-reference.com/awards/pow.html

 

Fuck Lou Williams. His turn to get snubbed.

 

I Really don't care about his race or nationality, he's Lazy and plays sloppy, without Lillard he is useless and he kills Stotts motion Offense, he allways holds the Ball to long and try to make a fancy Pass because he thinks is the best passing Center in the league, instead of playing a normal Pass. He is Average, but yeah Hype him or belive in his 'Potencial', i tell you in 3-4 years he is the same Player he is now

 

You're the one who brought it up now you're gonna run from it?

There literally was never a reason to bring up Eastern Europeans, Balkans, etc and you sited someone who you supposedly never met or don't know saying he has "experience" with them...

Learn how to post, then post...

 

Nurkic in January:

14ppg, 9 rpg, 1 spg, 1.6bpg, .533 fg%, 69 ft % (nice) and his usual anchor defense. Instead of focusing on him, maybe focus on an actual problem. Is he inconsistent? Somewhat. This is also his first season as a full time starter with responsibilities he's never had. There are going to be bumps.

 

You just made so much sense. How could I not "like" your post?

Seriously, Nurk is a work in progress. He's far from a finished product. It's no secret he needs to finish better around the basket and take better care of the ball. But, these are correctable flaws in a 23-year old big man.

Gee, if only we had a proven big man coach on the payroll to help him overcome these flaws in his game and reach his full potential...

@Boob-No-More I like your avatar, I consider you my friend now... not just cause of avatar, but also cause of a good discussion were having today

 

Ill give a +1 to myself for this

 

Another thing about Nurkic; he usually steps up against other traditional centers. His struggles are usually against teams that go small. I think that’s a process as well, learning to play against guys he theoretically has an advantage over.

 

Lack of a proven big man coach is my current pet peeve. It's not just Nurk. Collins, Swanigan Vonleh, and Meyers could all benefit from a dedicated, proven big man coach. Hell, with 5 big men on the roster 25 and under, we could use two big man coaches; one that specializes in offense and one that specializes in defense. Why not? That's a serious question, why the fuck not???

Dallas usually has a ridiculous number of assistant coaches. This makes sense. They don't count against the salary cap or luxury tax. There is no limit on how many you can hire. So, why not protect the hundreds of millions you are investing in your players and get the absolute best coaches money can buy. Cuban gets it. Why doesn't Allen?

The fans treat this as a bigger rivalry than it really is. Us fans want to kill each other.....the players, however, will probably go have a beer after the game, lol.

I like the rivalry though. Fuck Denver!

We have Dame back for this game, so we should win this game. He always goes ape shit in Denver because they have nobody who can stop him.

 

I truly think most NBA courts are better than ours... This is pretty cold...



IMO ours is so bland in comparison...

 

He'll still get called for the charge

 

I agree with everything you said. To the last part, I will say that Allen is incredibly out of touch with BOTH of his sports teams. Seattle should have made it to the playoffs this year, and they'll be lucky to win 8 games next season. And I don't see them getting out of that slump any time soon.

The Blazers.....he sits there almost every night and sees what is on the court. How the hell he could not see the glaringly obvious is beyond me. Completely baffling.

 

I REALLY hope DEN does not get George Hill or Kemba Walker. Their lack of a PG is killing them. They run the offense through Jokic, so they figured they didn't need a PG (and spent $90 million on yet another power forward instead). But they still need someone to guard the other team's PG. Which is why George Hill would be a perfect fit for them.

Too bad Hill makes $20 million a year. He'd be the perfect 3rd guard to match with Dame and C.J.

Oh wait, the SAC GM and owner are both idiots. Quick offer them Shabazz, Meyers and Harkless for Hill. Shabazz is legit, Meyers has played well against them in the past and Josh Jackson is looking like a bust. We get the perfect 3rd guard and cock block DEN in the process.

How dare you. We have the most beautiful court in the league! I like the fact that it looks like something from a NASCAR race.

Denver does have a purty court though....
