Game Thread GAME# 2: BLAZERS @ PACERS - OCTOBER 20, 2017 - FRIDAY, 4:00 (PDT), NBCSNW

I'm disgusted with the Blazers. This team is on a horrible downward spiral. Wednesday night, we won by 48. Tonight, we squeaked by only winning by 18. Anyone else that isn't horrified by our rapid decline isn't paying attention.

 

Yea, time to show Neil the door. Can't believe he let LaMarcia walk. Blow it up.

 

So at this rate, a 12 point loss to the Bucks?

 

Exactly. Nice to see that someone else understands the truth. 2-80 here we come!

 

Just watched the ESPN coverage of the game. It was 20 seconds of three angles of the olapido dunk then the said the pacers lost the game......
No mention of the Blazers but of course you could see who was getting dunked on.
Pretty sad.

 

Aminu - Beasting, only Blazer averaging a double-double. Playing way better than last year.

Turner - turning me around. He's playing really well, and a big part of our attack off the bench. Playing way better than last year.

Patty Ficient - The Pacers came after him, to some success. Blazers, however, were +5 with Patty in game. Playing way better than last year.

Davis - may lead league in rebounding off the bench, again. Really don't know why some want to get rid of him. Playing way better than last year.

Harkless, CJ, Lillard - Doin' their thang.

Defense - still looking good.

Rebounding - They have 2 guys who averaged double doubles last season... we still killed them on the boards. I was saying how much better of a
rebounding team we are this season. So far, killing it, preseason, and now regular season, too.

=====

Nurk - struggling, looks like he's lost his identity. It's early, and he affects the game in a way that isn't reflected in the box score, but right now it's not pretty.

Rookies - struggling, too.

 

Kjironman1 is not a fan









of ESPN

 

He's been back for a few months now, just posts far less than he used to.
But now they he gets to trash Lillard again I expect him to be taking any chance he has to say how shitty of a player Lillard is.

 

No worries. I'll plan ahead next time maybe in chi town.

 

In arena notes:

- CJ scored at will.Game is too easy for him against single coverage
- ET was feasting on smaller defenders
- Aminu, Ed, and Patty were ballin
- that was Nurk's worst game as a blazer. Looked really down on himself after stupid plays and forced some junk up. Terry pulled him aside after taking him out to talk for a while. Dame was trying to get him going to no success in the second half.
-felt bad for Meyers. Usually a big crowd for him in Indy and he didn't get a single min of pt

 

Typical idiocy. Haven't watched that nonsense in years now just because of stuff like that. #EastCoastBias

 

Watching the replay. I love this Turner. Seriously, where was this Turner LAST YEAR?

Did Terry sit outside the locker room with an IPad and Pay the Stones-esque ballad "Memo From Turner" over and over?

 

I absolutely love watching CJ play. Like you said there are not many players who can guard him.

Nurk needs Terry to settle him down. He takes too many bad shots and is careless with the ball. He started off well. but then after some questionable calls went against him he started to press. I know it is a clientage but he really needs to stop forcing things and just let the game come to him.

 

Same ET as last year....right before he got hurt.

 

Good point.

 

Man, Nurk needs to give them some of that back or just stay focused. They are going to be grabbing his ass all season.

 

I'm flying in for opening night.

Nurk vs Boogie
Aminu vs Davis

Rocking Moda crowd

I can't wait!!!!!

 

WOW!
