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

[THE HCP]

6-4 is a damn good record. Anyone notice that Turner is being phased out?

At this pace, how many games would we have to play to win your predicted 64? Just curious.

48 more and I'll have my 54 wins....piece of cake! We're only 17 wins from your 23 wishes

Without Meyers tonight we lose this game....sure he makes mistakes but he played hard and made some real impact plays tonight that helped us get to OT and win in OT.....shoutout to the young man...he came to play! He outplayed Mason and Ed all night.....give it a rest

DMC is averaging 27/9. Fabio "frustrated" him to 33/9. The Kings with "the reason we won the game" scored more points than any other game they've played this year. On offense he had 11/4 in 29 minutes on less than 50% shooting. "Without Meyers we lose this game" Really?

Well, 11 fewer points and yes, the team loses the game.

 

[H.C.]

I find it funny people freaking out about Turner not putting up box score numbers.
People saying to just let Turner run off screens(which isn't his game, he's not a catch and shoot player) or post up.
When a lot of what Turner does doesn't show up in the box score when it's positive.
Memphis game is a perfect example of this.
I'd like him to cut down on the turnovers and keep the offense going.
I saw a few times where he should have attacked instead of pass last night. But at the end of the day I'm fine with what he's doing.

Blazers biggest weakness this year isn't Turner. It's rebounding and points in the paint.
Portland is getting killed in those two categorys.


Also was it visable to anyone else that Cousins was pouting during the last two plays of OT last night because they weren't ran for him?
Really think he'd be any different on this Blazers team? I don't...

So, you read the boxscore, but didn't watch the game. Good for you. Plumlee was guarding Cousins in the 4th quarter and the beginning of overtime when he scored 10 points. When Plumlee fouled out and Leonard came back into the game, he shutdown Cousins.

That's just the 4th quarter and OT. I'm sure there were others times in the first 3 quarters and OT when Cousins scored on Plumlee. So, saying Cousins scored 33 points on Leonard is completely inaccurate.

But, that's exactly what I'd expect from you. Your irrational and obsessive hatred for Leonard compels you to bash him even when you didn't even watch the game. If you had watched the game, you would have seen with your own eyes that we would not have won last night without Meyers Leonard.

Seems like my love-hate relation with Meyers will never stop. Every time I give up on him he gives me a reason to hope. And then he let his hair grow to instantly make me regret hoping on him. And then he makes some good games or looked half-decend on D at times. Now there's hope... again.

And I am sure I will regret this. When?

 

[SIeepwalker]

I'm one of the biggest Leonard haters and even I have to say he was good this game. Now if he could bring that and more into everygame that'd be great.
But I still cringe at the way he shoots

 

[SIeepwalker]

Go home Portland, you're drunk

I do. On that team he knows he is the guy and he wants to win and he believes the ball should go through him and he is right.
On this team he will know he is the second option and in crunch time it's dame time. If he has half a brain he will know that more often than not he will end up with a short pass dunk as his man goes to stop dame.
It's a no brainer if he can just see the big picture.

Leonard is getting our hopes up again. He is actually a good defender down low, but the farther he gets from the basket the more lost he becomes.

That hair has got to go! It's ridiculous.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Evan Turner has a TO% of fucking 23.5

To put that into some perspective, Ray Felton's lone year here, where he was horrible with turnovers, his % was 19.5

I believe that Turner's last year was 19.5%, so this is not that unusual for him.

yep,,,,his scoring was clutch in getting us into overtime for the second time this season and he got rebounds that stopped runs by them....he does frustrate Cousins....didn't say he was better than Cousins but I know how you love Meyers so I get the reaction...it's not how many pts he scored...it's the timing of the pts he scored

Hey buddy,

For your viewing displeasure.

Well you're entitled to your opinion but I just don't see it him being able to accept a lesser role other than being the man.
He was obviously pouting when Gay missed the wide open jumper from the FT line to tie it. He was pouting & standing by the 3 point line when he jacked up a contested three instead of get his big ass inside and work. Not like a turnaround jumper in the lane is how he sent the game to OT.
He showed being left off the 2012 team he was a baby and didn't want to play in a system. He also has yet to lead a Kings roster with decent NBA players on it to even a .500 record.
People on this website compare DMC to Sheed all the time.
I find the comparison to be completely off due to the fact that Sheed was always raved about by his teammates and being a locker room guy.
DMC is a cancer to the locker room. He's not a good teammate last night showed that, his whole career has shown that. College, NBA, Team USA all recognize his talent, but they also recognize his attitude. Lillard is a good leader but DMC is a giant cancer.
Anyone else other than DMC.
Monroe, Okafor, Noel, Orlando's big white guy, etc.

No DMC please.

 

[riverman]

I think it deserves some notice that Meyers was the #1 play of the NBA top ten last night with the monster dunk he had....it was pretty impressive!

Absolutely. He has struggled and been passive, but hopefully he starts to come around after his good showing this past game.

Perhaps channeling his inner 'Angry Samurai' with that dunk was the turning point. . .

 

[WillG]

Meyers had a nice game - and good to see him more aggressive.
Turner is still woeful - never seen a guy release the ball on his shot before the wrist flick - here's a tip - it's not working!
Lillard is much improved with efficiency, the Man has a strong mind!
We play better without Chiefs poor shooting and transition turnovers,
Crabbe is still passive/ not assertive and not doing all that he could,
CJ coming back to form - good news,
Stotts schemes are overrated,
WTH happened to Davis? Huge drop-off.
Matt Barnes' hairdo should be in quarantine.

IMO any combo of/ all of: Crabbe, Aminu, Leonard, Davis, should all be packed for a single upgrade. (hopefully Okafor)
Jake Layman should take all of the minutes of Crabbe and Chief at the least. He can do what they bring, just as good or better.

Like all of them, I watched the entire game. But nice assumption. You're like one of those lawyers that say things without any real knowledge, and then when someone objects you say withdrawn, but everyone already heard it

 

[Mediocre Man]

Hey buddy,

For your viewing displeasure.

Harold Minor was a great dunker as well

 

[riverman]

Harold Minor was a great dunker as well

Don't forget Fred Jones!

 

[KingSpeed]

Harold Minor was a great dunker as well

Harold Miner was a decent player. He just wasn't Michael Jordan.

Well, since you watched the game, you know that your statement "Fabio "frustrated" him to 33/9." is complete bullshit. Perhaps it's one of those assumptions you're talking about. No, that can't be it. Anyone who watched the game would have known that Mason Plumlee, not Meyers Leonard was guarding DeMarcus Cousins when Cousins scored all 10 of his 4th quarter and OT points.

Perhaps, you'd like to withdraw that statement. Nope, too late. Everyone heard it and knows beyond a reasonable doubt that you'll always shit all over Meyers Leonard, even when he plays well and helps the team win a game.

[Mediocre Man]

Good point. Fabio is a welfare mans Harold Miner

 

[Mediocre Man]

Players with at least 5 games of 35+ points in team's first 10 games since '85: Lillard ('16), Bryant ('05), Jordan (4 times), Malone ('88).

And that you'll vomit posts 2-3 paragraphs too long, spewing your views and opinions like a cult leader until the lemmings like your posts

There's been 2 or 3 people saying "damn, I'm one of meyers biggest haters but I can even say he did well tonight."

I also was (not so much anymore) one of his biggest detractors, but he played one of his best games last night. It was nice. That shot still makes me cringe though lol.

 

[SIeepwalker]

Someone need to make a gif of Leonard winding up his shot with seasons passing in the background

 

[Eastoff]

Hey buddy,

For your viewing displeasure.

I love how they freeze the picture and show the bench reactions. Those two fans behind Damian missed out.

All Hail MM!!!! Our resident cult leader.....like his posts fellow lemmings! The world is ending! Only his purple kool aid will stave off the demons!
