Game Thread GAME# 35: BLAZERS @ WARRIORS - DECEMBER 27, 2018 - THURSDAY, 7:30 PM, NBCSNW

We need this Hark more often.

And I think that's more or less what Dame told him when he grabbed him at the end of the game.

 

We missed a ton of open looks off good passes. Chit happens.

 

And we also posted nurk up a lot

 

211 combined FG attempts..what a weird fucking game

 

Harkless and Nurk, and Maybe Curry for his 4th quarter. Dame and CJ did what i expect from them. Aminu can fuck off now this Dude is garbage. His defense should actually be elite to compensate for his bad offensive, but he's probably only a little bit above Average as a Defender. Off Ball he sucks

 

Dude is such a tool, but he's the cog that glues that team together. Without him, they don't win a championship.

 

There was never any doubt in my mind that we would win this game

 

Shit happens, too

 

Was nice to see the team pick Dame up, when he's carried them so many times.

 

I thought Aminu and Harkless did a good job on Durant tonight.

 

This win completely turned my day around, what an awesome feeling

I really really hope this season doesn’t end up being a carbon copy of the last

Harkless playing well, we look incredible, end up with home court advantage and a Harkless injury before a bad matchup in the playoffs that results in elimination. Stay healthy Moe

 

Stotts: "What do you mean by a cross screen?"

 

Was a little behind watching the game and haven't been able to read all the comments yet.

Why the fuck did Stotts take Curry out after scoring 11 points in a row?

Can't blow a 10 point lead with 3 minutes left.

When Dame lost the ball towards the end of regulation, why not call a quick timeout with 3 seconds on the clock. Coaches should have let them know they have 1 timeout left if they get in trouble.

The Blazers literally gave the Warriors open shots the entire night. I've never seen them miss so many.

 

Your sister told me this last night! #BAM

 

Funny that you posted this. Thats kind of a running joke that we use that song when ever crazy shit happens.

 

A couple of other things:

Until the two bricked 3's by Aminu and Harkless, when the double team came against Nurk how do we not have an open player? I went back and looked and usually it was because two of our guys were standing right next to each other and not moving. I know it's been a long time since a post player commanded a double but c'mon, that should be an easy bucket every time that happens. If your guy doubles dive right to the hoop. If your guy goes with the cutter fade to opposite three point line and you'll get a wide open 3. It's really not that complicated.

When we have a lead with 5 seconds left why the fuck does Stotts have Dame and CJ in on defense. Baldwin, Turner, Harkless, Aminu, and Nurk should be the defense there.

 

Until the WCF, right?

 

Yes we do! Sadly, 'that Harkless' doesn't consistently show up that often and never has.

 

Yeah he was.
You kind of beat me to what i was watching. Not just this game but probably the last three or four games.
Harkless has been shooting a bit better and his jump seems to be getting back. He also looks to be taking a few more chances on defense and they are starting to pay off a bit. I honestly was not sure how his injury could have lasted quite as long as it did and the effects it had on his game. But it is pretty obvious he is starting to play a bit better. When Moe Harkless plays well this team is much much better without question. He is just jumping a little quicker and a little higher and it is resulting in some defensive plays and maybe a more comfortable release on his shot? Going to keep watching Harkless pretty close. If he turns it up this season again the Blazers get better.

By the way. I'm just done with Evan Turner. I tried... I honestly did. Gave him every excuse in the book. Sorry. I'm done.
