Game Thread GAME# 52: BLAZERS @ RAPTORS - FEBRUARY 2, 2018 - FRIDAY, 4:30 PM (PST), NBCSNW

They didn't beat us by 30!!!!!

 

I miss Henderson.

 

He should be recovered from his hip surgery off season...he was the kind of vet we need with a young team...and he could slash and defend...I could hear him shouting through the radio broadcast..real competitor

To those in the know.....what happened to Wheels tonight? He ok? Scott Lin is a pro....does a great job.

 

It's round CC....it's round...believe me!

 

Recurring health issues. Sadly, as he gets older, unless he loses some of that weight, it's not likely to get better.

 

Fucking refs. We had no shot from the tip. 8 on 5......

 

Blazers played like this...

 

The problem with Nurk is Disappointment.

I'm kind of OK with him. He's good defender and he can help us in offence sometimes, but man. He came here to be The Beast and it seems he is playing it save. His game is so hard to watch for me, cos I expected him to break the fuckin glass, go up and dunk the ball with authority. He supposed to be a supertank inside. Instead I have to watch all this layups like he was 6 feet tall and couldn't jump high enough to dunk it. I know it was discussed here before and this way he can stay healthy for longer and it makes sense.
So with him it is just this - disappointment. We expected him to give this team his heart, but (surprise, surprise) he thinks more about himself
So he's OK and he is good, but it's really hard to have a big man that don't dunk the ball and shoot circus shots instead.
And I guess we all know that you need to see some big dunks sometimes to bring the spark, energy, momentum.

 

It sucks that he put all that weight back on after the Nate era.he lost a lot of the weight that last lock out season..I worry about him...with the Blazers training staff they should be able to get him on track you'd think....Wheels isn't that old

 

Defeat unfortunatelly. Deserved, credit to Raptors.

Must fight in next two difficult games. Go Blazers.

Just one fact only for German member ( do not like write this in defeats but have to now):

Nurk stats: 20/07/3/2 with only one TO. For 25 minutes of play. 8/11 shots

Wasn't world class but neither:

Wasn't stupid
Wasn't lazy
Wasn't the reason why Blazers played bad

Have a nice day,

 

without Nurk we lose by 40 tonight

 

Great offensive games from our big 3.

Dame - 32 pts @ 61.1%, 3 reb, 10 ast, 1 blk
CJ - 21 pts @ 56.3%, 2 reb, 1 ast, 1 blk
Nurk - 20 pts @ 72.7%, 7 reb, 3 ast, 2 stl

Slim pickings from the rest.

A very rare poor game (by his standards) from Ed Davis - 6 pts @ 66.7% , 3 reb, 1 blk
Pat was OK, and should have seen more court time - 6 pts @ 40%, 2 reb, 2 ast
MyLe did alright in his junk time minutes - 6 pts @ 66.7%, 2 reb, 1 stl

Everyone, even our big three, was poor defensively. When you give up 130 points (37 in the first quarter), no-one can claim to have played good D.

 

let me tell you this: "brother, you are going down"...

ITS ON !!!!!

 

Wrong. Why are you always complaining about the refs man?!

 

That's how you red my post.

 

I fully respect your opinion and fully understand and agree for most of all. I hope that Nurk will improve asap and give this team hart, fight, and get into beast mode. And if ever, ever do it, i hope to be for this team. The way you say this is fully apreciateted by me personally. I hope that he will try hard to change your opinion. I send you warmest regards from Bosnia, with full respect. This is how to write -i cant stand this German's way only.

 

yeah....I didn't get past the first sentence....I shouldn't respond like that....I'm just going to blame alcohol and an irish temperament....
