Game Thread GAME# 10: TIMBERWOLVES @ BLAZERS - NOVEMBER 4, 2018 - SUNDAY, 6:00 PM (PST), NBCSNW

[Scalma]

He went for a dunk and fouled a guy. He didn't like the call. The ref didn't like that Meyers didn't like the call. Tfoul. Oh well. I'm glad to see that confidence in him. Ill take it over him looking like he doesnt know which way is up.

He got a T for taunting, not complaining about the call. I said it was bullshit by Meyers to behave like that, then his white knights come flying in here bitching at me for not giving him a virtual high five for playing well. He played well. What does that have to do with him being an asshole? Let’s see that “confident” energy when he’s faced with adversity. Then it’ll be noteworthy. Until then it’s just an asshole being an asshole.

I responded on one of Meyers' Instagram photos with , "Please Hammer, Don't Hurt Em". He liked it.

Did you ask him about the pants?

PLEASE TELL ME YOU ASKED HIM ABOUT THE PANTS.

 

[Scalma]

Did he not play well, with that same "energy" in the first half, when the game was still tight and undecided?

There's a big difference between being impressed and hating on a guy just to hate on him. He didn't really taunt anyone. He took the ball and walked toward the other end of the court. Even Calabro mentioned that Nunally was laughing about the play at the time. Nobody disrespected anyone. You're just inventing a reason to hate on your favorite target even when he played well.

Yeah I’m inventing things.

I saw no taunting. It was a bullshit call.

Was it towards Meyers or their displeasure at how crappy they played...?

Good win, but i don't like the 3 point Shooting the last few games

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

3 point shooting is like that, almost all shooters and 3 point shooting teams are streaky. Its GOOD in my opinion that they made last night competivie even though they shot 17% and that they blew out a team even without shooting well.

 

[Boob-No-More]

Yeah I’m inventing things.

And why do you ASSUME that has anything to do with Meyers? Does Casey mention Meyers? Did any of the MIN players mention him? Certainly not in the tweet you linked.

So yeah, you ARE inventing things.

Mind expanding on what you are talking about? I think they scored every possession on offense until the stupid pass by ET and the defense was suffocating.

How in the fuck was it awkward?

Maybe I'm not recalling correctly but I remember not loving a couple of the defensive possessions. But even if it's true it's probably a bit of an unfair analysis.

I guess it's more about wondering how it'll play against a wide range of lineups. I think Minnesota's personnel definitely helped it work tonight. And like I've said before, once Zach gets more comfortable guarding out on the perimeter and continues to develop his skill level, they should be used together more than during foul/ideal situations and could see them working in a starting unit together in the future.

What the fuck else would it be

 

[Boob-No-More]

What the fuck else would it be

Oh I don't know. Maybe pissed about the Blazers running up the score in a 30 point blowout?

The guy he dunked on and supposedly taunted was laughing about it at the time and you just ASSUME it's about Meyers. Man, the hatred is strong.

They stayed on the court to let their displeasure known, about losing? Whaaat?



8:22. That’s not a taunt? You can see Nunnally yelling back at him while Meyers walks away flexing and feeling himself or whatever. Good bet he said something while looking down at him. Hence the Technical.

The tweet did not mention Meyers. None of the MIN players or coach mentioned him in the post game interviews. You are making an ASSUMPTION based on your own hatred.

Another ASSUMPTION.

He just looked down at him then walked away. I don't see his mouth moving. He smiled when he walked away. So what

 

[jlprk]

Leonard got good stats (rebounds and free throws) in 22 minutes of a blowout against a team missing 2 or 3 starters. Hooray. In a normal game, he fouls out in 22 minutes.

I checked. Before this game, he was 11th in the league in fouls per minute this season, 45 minutes minimum. Tonight, he got lucky and stayed in the game. Big deal. Random chance.

K, explain the tech then.

 

[H.C.]

[Scalma]

Wasn’t even called by him but ok.

 

[Boob-No-More]

He took the ball and walked away from the ref. Other than that, you'll have to ask the ref.

Regardless, saying the MIN players were upset about Meyers based on Casey's tweet is an ASSUMPTION.

So is saying they weren’t. Calabro didn’t say anything about Nunnally laughing either. Why would he be laughing anyway? Your assumptions don’t even make sense.

Calabro actually did mention Nunnally laughing on air. I heard it loud and clear. Maybe Nunnally was laughing at himself for signing with Minnesota rather than us or Houston, who both had discussions with him in the off season.

Yep, I heard it too, or I wouldn't have mentioned it. I don't make things up to prove a point. I don't have to.

"A guy you love to play with" -- Meyers Leonard helps Blazers hammer T-Wolves

“Man, Meyers is crazy," Lillard said. "He came in and he had an impact. He had two tip dunks right away. He was rebounding the ball. He was challenging shots at the rim. I thought he was doing a really good job,” Damian Lillard said.

“We see it everyday. I know what kind of player he is, what kind of person he is and whenever he’s on the court, if he’s not scoring or getting rebounds or being at the rim, you hear his positivity is contagious and you hear his voice the whole time and he’s just a guy you love to play with,” Collins said.

“I thought in the first half he played very well, got a couple of dunks, made his free throws, he was talking defensively and he and Zach played very well together. Obviously, he got a lot of attention in the fourth quarter, but I was really pleased with the first half," Stotts said.

We didn't even need Anfernee to win that one

 

[illmatic99]

WTF happened to our shooting? 13 of 65 from 3 for the two weekend games. Lotta open shots missed.

It just means we're due for a good shooting game on Tuesday to get out team 3FG% back where it should be.

I hope...

Pretty much.
The first quarter when CJ just backcut Wiggins and walked straight to the rim for the easy 2 showed why butler is mad.

I can see you point here.
But i have a tendency to think the players are not playing well because of Butler not the other way around.
