Game Thread GAME# 11: BLAZERS @ KINGS - NOVEMBER 12, 2019 - TUESDAY, 7:00 PM, NBATV & NBCSNW

[AldoTrapani]

Both these teams look no different from one another lmao

literally only difference is Dame the great

 

[illmatic99]

CJ never used to miss these WIDE OPEN looks

 

[B-Roy]

CJ cannot hit a 3.

 

[Cugel]

Is Nas in Stott's doghouse??

 

[DDolla]

From a team that went to the WCF to a team that’s full of scrubs. Simply Amazing.

 

[Darkwebs]

Irony: CJ was wide open, waving his hands, screaming, jumping up and down, but nobody passed it to him. I wonder if he is aware that this is how his teammates feel sometimes.

Yep, lol. Two Scrub team on National TV

He didn't shoot because his shot sucks.

I don't care if it sucks or not.
He ruined the possession because he didn't shoot the ball.
Don't shoot the three, shoot a runner, get called for a charge. Do something anything other than look for CJ to bail you out on a make or miss shot.

CJ at times misses teammates and then other times his teammates put him in a bad position where he has no other option but to create something.
Like what happened there...

None of his teammates have ever said that. I’ve never heard anyone call CJ a ball hog before this forum. He’s actually well known as a great teammate.

 

[hoopsjock]

Dame: 10 points on 3 shots.

His efficiency is god like this year.

 

[hoopsjock]

Sometimes you just need some guys to bring some energy and hustle. Both Moses and Nas can provide that.

 

[Blazers1977]

Seems like most of Dame’s missed FTs are on technicals

 

[illmatic99]

CJ finding his shot back

 

[kjironman1]

I understand some don’t think Brown should even be on the team but I didn’t think he looked all THAT bad. He’s young and doesn’t do a bunch but he played with energy and altered shots. He’s pretty quick for as big as he is.

I hate saying it man but it’s clear we are not a playoff team this year.

idc that we are “new” everybody is pretty much is new this year and we look trash

 

[hoopsjock]

Zone defense does not work against a team like Sacramento who just works the ball around trying to get open 3's.

 

[illmatic99]

What I wouldn't give to get Bogdanovic. Man.

He should get run this year. We have no reason not to give him run

If you hate saying we arent a playoff team then quit saying it.

I was happy he made a nice pass to a 3-point shooter. His decision making is at least as good as Hezonja.

I think he is different than Mario. Two different players. Neither can do what the other can. Neither are all that good. But Moses did make an impact. He takes up a lot of space.

gonna start saving comments like this so I can come back and laugh when we make a deeper playoff run than last year.

They will pull it together and make the playoffs.

 

[H.C.]

I'm all for giving Mario time on the court to get settled. He's never really had that in his career.
But I also want to see Nas on the court at the 4. So I'm conflicted.

[riverman]

Moses is going to plug a hole for us early...glad to see Terry trot him out in this game

 

[DDolla]

Man, Suns are so fun to watch than the Blazers. What’s happening?

 

[riverman]

Mario has no confidence in his shot at all right now...you can see him looking to pass everything and then his release seems Meyers Leonard slow

 

[VanillaGorilla]

I'd like to see more Nas as well but he is only 6'5" so I'm not sure how well he'd do at the 4 in any sort of extended minutes. I've seen that some people want him to start at PF and that just doesn't seem realistic to me against most opponents.

this isn’t written by one of CJ’s teeammates, it’s written by a know-nothing blogger who probably weighs 400 pounds.

shooting often ~=~ being a “ball hog”. He shoots often bc he has the best midrange game in the world and blazers’ plays are designed for him to score, not facilitate.
