BLAZERS @ KINGS- GAME THREAD - 11/9/13, SATURDAY, 7 PM - KGW

[MickZagger]

Jimmer will be out of the league once his rookie contract is up.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

If we win, we're only 4-2


picky, picky, picky

He's taken 5. You inflate it in your mind.

picky, picky, picky

 

[Natebishop3]

Another weak call.

 

[The_Lillard_King]

Might be foul on Joel but good fundamental defense

 

[-Ace-]

59 points for the Kings thus far. I like it.

 

[Strenuus]

Ticky tack call... hand came down, but GREAT D by Freeland overall...

 

[Strenuus]

lmao. Cousins. That was funny.

 

[KingSpeed]

I think he's flashed some of these new wrinkles to his game in the past, but we seem to be seeing a more steady diet of them. It's nice.

I think Nic's committment to rebounding is another noteworthy improvement. Why he's decided to finally commit to it this year, I have no idea, but I'm no longer complaining.

The Lopez effect?

 

[The_Lillard_King]

T-Rob has a long way to go, but he does some positive things on the court

 

[KingSpeed]

Jimmer will be out of the league once his rookie contract is up.

He'll find his groove eventually like Redick has, don't you think?

 

[The_Lillard_King]

Like seeing the starters on the bench resting

 

[Natebishop3]

The ability is there, he just desperately needs a decent big man coach.

 

[Strenuus]

Okay TROB.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

Good move by T-Rob.

 

[B-Roy]

I have no idea why Stotts is playing Lillard so much today.

 

[Natebishop3]

I would just like to see Dame hit a couple shots before the game ends.

 

[The_Lillard_King]

You would think with T-Rob's leaping ability, he would jam it home when his man bites on the fake

 

[Natebishop3]

I have no idea why Stotts is playing Lillard so much today.

I think Lillard wants to play his way out of the slump.

 

[Strenuus]

He'll find his groove eventually like Redick has, don't you think?

Redick found it well before his contract was up. lol.

Jimmer has played in 2 games and had 4 DNP's.

 

[The_Lillard_King]

God I hope Cousins fouls out

 

[Strenuus]

Love it Lillard. May not be having a game on the offense, but a big steal!

 

[KingSpeed]

Redick found it well before his contract was up. lol.

Jimmer has played in 2 games and had 4 DNP's.

He was a no show for a few years though. Jimmer had a decent PER for a lot of last season.

 

[Strenuus]

Oh Freeland. LMAO.

 

[Drttimmy]

The Lopez effect?

Or Stotts? These guys seem to be buying into their designed roles, maybe Stotts asked Nic to commit to rebounding more?

 

[TradeNurkicNow]

I thought they banned tights.

 

[LuckyShot]

T-Rob has a long way to go, but he does some positive things on the court

JJ Hickson syndrome. Make a good play due to his athleticism and hustle, then make a bad play due to poor BB IQ.

 

[Strenuus]

He was a no show for a few years though. Jimmer had a decent PER for a lot of last season.

Iirc, he found it in year 2. I remember because I was hoping he would falter because of his hype. lol.

 

[The_Lillard_King]

Time to bring in starters?

 

[Natebishop3]

Redick is at least 2 inches taller than Jimmer.

Agree that it's nice to see, but he always had the ability. Wes has gained new abilities. I think in the past with Nic he was so focused on perimeter defense that he was never in position. Also, I'll be curious to see if he maintains this sort of rebounding once he has to guard players like LBJ, Melo, Durant, etc. Regardless, everyone seems to be rebounding better.
