Game Thread GAME# 10: KINGS @ BLAZERS - NOVEMBER 11, 2016 - FRIDAY, 7:00 PM (PDT), CSNNW

[Sinobas]

I thought this team may have turned the corner after winning in Memphis. But then they get destroyed vs the Clips. Hey, bad games on the road happen against good teams, butwe shouldn't be having a problem with Sacramento at home

 

[Strenuus]

35 seconds: From down 7 to down 1 lol.

 

[LuckyShot]

/Aminu

I don't follow.

 

[EGame]

God Dame.

 

[Darkwebs]

I wish we didn't have to rely on Dame's heroics. But boy, am I glad we have that in our back pocket!

 

[Strenuus]

Any other player -- that shot is terrible. On that shot with Dame -- we just know.

 

[Jade Falcon]

 

[illmatic99]

Holy shit what a tough shot

 

[B-Roy]

Turner is just not the right fit for this team. He's a ball stopper when he has the ball and a statue when playing off it.

 

[Trackjack]

It come down to the last 5 minutes you got to win in that time frame to be successful.

I can't accept or believe that they even tried in that game against LA. I felt like they went in there already feeling like they were going to lose and just mailed that game in. Which isn't acceptable at all, but I felt going in that our chances of winning were probably around 1%. Refs fucked us pretty hard we played them last time and the Clippers are on a roll.

And he can't shoot.

He needs to study some DWade tape on cutting to the hoop. hes so stagnant

 

[Strenuus]

Hurd just said Meyers Legend.

 

[julius]

Damn this team is frustrating as hell.. Idk why they piss me off this hard

It doesn't bother me much, actually. It concerns me, especially considering it's pretty much another wasted year of Damian and CJ. That is not to say I expected them to compete for a title this year (or even, realistically, make it to the WCF's), but there hasn't been any growth in TEAM play. Damian and CJ have shown great growth, and Maurice has shown some growth, but pretty much the rest of the team hasn't shown they're worth keeping.


*not counting Layman, since he's only had a limited amount of minutes

 

[LuckyShot]

LOL what?

 

[Cippy91]

Cj looking for his own too much right now

 

[Darkwebs]

Everyone on the blazers would fail if Alec Trebec said "To protect the basket in basketball"

No one knows Interior Defense!

You sure? The correct answer would be "What is interior defense?"

And I bet the Blazers ask that question EVERY day.

 

[Sinobas]

I was waiting all night to pick up a charge on Cousins

 

[illmatic99]

Dude. quit doing it by yourself

 

[LuckyShot]

See? We just need to flop as much as everybody else apparently. Good job, Plums.

Yup other than those guys you mentioned a lot of players for us fell off this year

 

[kingslayer]

AC!

 

[julius]

That moment when the lakers have it more together right now than the blazers...

That is pretty sad. Of course, they didn't draft a brittle senior citizen with their lotto pick.

 

[Tunchi]

This is already one of those games even if we win you still shake your head

 

[Strenuus]

AC3!

It was a deep 2 lol.

 

[Sinobas]

Plumlee to the line....in other words, a turnover

 

[Strenuus]

Plums - you were passing. LOL. They aint stupid.

 

[LuckyShot]

This is why I wasn't as worried about Crabbe as I am Turner. Crabbe just wasn't shooting well, which can easily turn around. Turner can't shoot to begin with and his problems are harder to reconcile.

 

[EGame]

Hot Dame

 

[Strenuus]

I just screamed "HOW?" How did Dame just make tha? lol.
