Nurkic is so dirty, lol. I'd enjoy him on my team, but he's frustrating on the other team. Can't believe he didn't pick up a technical.

Harpring grilling Boler about why he thinks Dell Curry would have a higher 3pt percentage....sooo cringe worthy....just SMH.

They forget how to play defense during halftime?

One of the whiniest teams in the league, lol

These techs are interesting

God Nurkic is a horrifically dirty player, I take back my earlier comment.

Terrible quarter by the Jazz.

It's been a long time since I've seen someone be that dominant by simply being more physical than other post players. Reminded me of how frustrating it was to watch Shaq destroy a team.

Portland staying in this required Lillard having an excellent first quarter - and, if I remember correctly - playing the entire quarter, then Nurkic having a stupid third quarter. This, in conjunction with a poor perimeter shooting night for us. We've got a good chance to pull this one out.

Haven't seen a defensive collapse like this in some time. It's a wide open layup/dunk or three every singe possession.

Portland is guarding our screens much better in the second half.

Really bad rotations from Quin tonight.

We need Mitchell to hit those tear drops

The offense went cold in the second half. The defensive effort was pretty high most of it. But they shut down any passes to the interior.

Luigi · Post #36 » by **Luigi** » Tue Jan 22, 2019 4:23 am

I think we fouled Nurkic there.

Luigi · Post #37 » by **Luigi** » Tue Jan 22, 2019 4:25 am

We need the other guys to box better when Gobert gets blocks

I'm 10000% sure we're all going to ignore this 65 point defensive half and blame offense.

Honestly I don't know how you stop someone like Nurkic from doing what he did, but there definitely was that stretch with Leonard in that we kind of fell apart and if we didn't we would have won.

Luigi · Post #40 » by **Luigi** » Tue Jan 22, 2019 4:29 am

We got stops when we needed them. We also had a scoring drought down the stretch. I think it's fair to point fingers at the offense, despite the quarter numbers.
