Game Thread GAME# 13: BLAZERS @ ROCKETS - NOVEMBER 17, 2016 - THURSDAY, 5:00 PM (PDT), CSNNW

[Strenuus]

For the first time this year I'm turning off the game early. Despicable defensive performance.

NUUUU BONES! COME BACK!

 

[Strenuus]

Did stotts give Dame a capri sun and a fruit by the foot, too?

 

[PTBDameTime]

What happened to us??? I felt like in the first couple games of the season we seemed very comfortable. Every team we played looked like they were all over tje place. Dame was on fire and Plumlee was looking promising. Now it's gotten complacent and it seems like Harkless his coming around but everyone else is withering. As a whole we need to become more defensive minded especially if the shots are going to fall all the time. I'm guessing it just a dry spell but cmon man.

He should respond with, "Damn it, Jim. I'm a doctor, not a machine!"

 

[EGame]

lol offensieve rebound. show of hands, who is surprised?

 

[Strenuus]

Davis...

 

[Jade Falcon]

There needs to be serious changes at the Trade. These are the same glaring problems that we had last year, only this year it's worse. This cannot sustain this year if we want to make it to the playoffs.

By the way: I love Stott's timeouts. What a genius.





I trust I don't need green font for that last part.

 

[KingSpeed]

The poll says our best defender is Aminu.

I like him but if he's our best defender, and I tend to agree that he is, we cannot hope to contend for WCF.

I would trade all of our new players, who don't seem to fit anyway, for 1 solid Jerome Kersey/Ruben Patterson/Danny Ainge type defender.

Who is that player? Does he exist?

There's no point for the playoffs this year

You said that last year and we made it to round 2.

How the fuck does Harden pass like a true point guard?!

Can you imagine if OKC still had him, Durant, Ibaka, and Jeff Green for that matter? Dynasty.

Everytime we play a good team = blowout

We beat Memphis in their building.

 

[Sinobas]

This roster is certainly deserving of being the #2 highest paid team in the league. I take back everything I said. You all were right.

 

[Five Second Violation]

This team is straight depressing.

 

[Strenuus]

Did davis forget how to box out?

 

[Strenuus]

LOL that Capela moving screen rofl.

 

[Sinobas]

Ezeli would help us, though I'm not sure who will return first, Fetus or Jesus Christ.

 

[illmatic99]

Dude these are straight line drives we are giving up

 

[Tunchi]

Imagine if Houston hadn't played last night

 

[Strenuus]

TRADE PLUMLEE. Good god.

 

[BigGameDamian]

The Rockets holding a 20 point lead while Harden is on the bench. This is pathetic.

 

[EGame]

can we send half of our team to the d- league? The only people who look like nba players are Dame, CJ, Harkless and Layman. Crabbe and Turner do sometimes.

 

[Scalma]

This team is DESPERATE for a center. It's to the point where they might as well start Meyers, at least he spaces the court.

 

[illmatic99]

0-5 trip coming

 

[Scalma]

Plumlee brings nothing offensively. Brings nothing defensively. Literally the on,y thing he brings is an occasional nice pass.

 

[Tunchi]

I think something we don't know about

It seems like this team just doesn't like each other right now. I don't know if they tuned out the coach or if there's some serious issues going
on but how the 2nd most expensive team in the NBA gets blown out every week is beyond me

I never thought I would see Turner's name in the same sentence as "NBA Players".

 

[Trackjack]

We got 3 lame centers in Plum Davis and ML. These guys has to be lazy centers in the league by going for the boards.

You're right. We dont know.

 

[EGame]

Eh, he at least has his competent moments. Not much can be said for the others.

 

[e_blazer]

Ed is playing terribly right now. Plumlee is a finesse guy. Meyers is, well, Meyers. Ezeli is injured. Yeah, not good.

 

[Sinobas]

Plumlee brings nothing offensively. Brings nothing defensively. Literally the on,y thing he brings is an occasional nice pass.

I think he might be better as a PF, though his lack of offense would suck there. He'd be better at defending other PFs.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

You notice the people who always say, "I told you so", never post in any of the prediction threads.

Does Terry make it past this trip?
