Game Thread GAME# 6: BLAZERS @ PACERS - OCTOBER 29, 2018 - MONDAY, 4:00 (PDT), NBCSNW

Nurk....some guys seem to have a bigger impact then their stats indicate, but nurk has the opposite issue in my view.

 

Bet if this was CJ he would throw up a floater.

But naw, Stauskas makes so many good reads when he attacks the basket.

 

Dont care about the CJ part.
What I love is I have been really impressed with Nik’s ability to put the ball on the floor, attack the rim AND make smart plays. I knew he could shoot at an NBA level, I didnt know his offensive arsenal was as good as it is.

Niks one on one defense is ok, his team defense is just terrible. He gets beat way to much when his man doesnt have the ball. Nik gets caught watching bigs try to rebound amd dont know where there guy is. Interesting enough CJ has a lot of those same issues on defense.

 

You sound like a hater..

 

Yup definitely a hater thats why I keep saying they should start Zach over Aminu, or even over Nurkic. I think Zach has looked pretty good this year and that means good things for the Blazers. Im just not all on him on yet, and honestly with few exceptions Im like that with most young guys. I usually want to see a couple years. Im not even sold on Ben Simmons. Only two young sophomore players Im sold on at this point is Tatum and Mitchell.

 

That’s hella fair. Zach Collins is doing good things but let’s not get carried away

 

You'r literally sitting here saying we're acting like he's LeBron because we're getting too excited when he does something good.

 

Ain't nobody getting carried away, it's called being a fan and getting excited during the course of a game.

 

Hey I’m excited about Zach Collins as well but I just want a larger sample size. So far so good though

 

I don't think Stotts will break up the 2nd unit there playing to good right now. Now the 1st unit again start out real slow that needs to change. The difference between the 2nd and 1st is the 2nd unit plays better has unit everyone in involved on both sides of ball. 1st unit don't and the ones not involved it effects there games on both sides. This happen last year when Harkless got piss and said something. Nurk didn't get going until he hit the 3 then he got 2 or 3 rebounds in a row. It can't be just Dame and CJ show on the 1st unit. I think Dame tries get players involved at the first part of the game but sometimes he as also goes away from it to get his rhythm and that he should. Now CJ is different type of player he more straight scorer mentality even though he might not be on some nights. He not type player going to get others players involved very much and yes he does picks up assist here and there.

 

It was hyperbole. For whatever reason it just cracks me up whenever Zach does something good everyone says something when he does something bad no one says anything lol.

 

Why would you not record it and then watch when you got home?

 

I’ll get carried away over The Bad Motherfucker! Because he’s only 20 and white! Sky’s the limit for this one.

 

I dont remember seeing it and I agree more good than bad especially so far this year. I dont really feel like Ive said anything bad about him but how other people perceive what I say who knows. Its not even that I think people shouldnt get excited, Im just saying it cracks me up how excited a lot of fans are over Zach at this point. I mean were fans we get excited and pissed off on a nightly basis, but for whatever reason the Zach stuff is just very entertaining to me.

 

That shit drives me crazy both when watching and playing. If the offensive player initiates the contact that isn't a foul.

 

I'm sorry but this shit pisses me off. You were not able to look passed your preconceived notions and see that Biggie came in and played very solidly.

 

Some of these same guys who want to suck Zach's cock are guys that hate Olshey, it's kind of funny.
