Game Thread GAME# 14: BLAZERS @ PELICANS - NOVEMBER 18, 2016 - FRIDAY, 5:00 PM (PDT), CSNNW

[KingSpeed]

The day is darkest before the dawn. Or something like that.

Damn right.

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

Sunday we need to start with:

Lillard
Crabbe
Layman
Davis
Meyers

Harkless is the one bright spot this season. I wouldn't punish him by benching him. That's why he was in my starting lineup. Him and Dame. Everyone else can ride the pine in my opinion.

 

[Cippy91]

I will always be a blazer fan but this kinda effort I see makes me not even wanna watch games. Just doesn't feel the same. It's rough. I really wonder what Neil is trying to figure out right now. Gotta be a deal coming. Everybody tradeable except harkless and aminu probably. Who knows. Same team basically. Worse performances. Guys got paid and it shows. Our front court is the worst in the league. Felt like we played better defense last year and rebounded decently. Don't know what happened. Went from really competing with golden state to getting blown out by the worst teams in the league. Crazy

 

[BrunoSOC]

I hate so much Evan turner

 

[riverman]

I'll say this....it gets harder to get invested in the roster after a string of blowout losses when you're beaten in almost every category of a game. Without Chief...we've really been exposed on defense

We rebounded GREAT tonight.

Man who gives a shit we weren't going to win the title this year anyways

Let's get a lottery pick and build thru the draft let's try my idea

Last years idea CLEARLY didn't work

 

[DUB]

Why don't you include rebounds? Only focusing on negative?

Because I didn't really think they made much of a difference to the game. But here you go.

Reb
Us - 48
Them - 37

OReb
Us - 13
Them - 1

DReb
Us - 35
Them - 36

We only won the rebounds because of offensive boards. As @yuyuza1 pointed out at half time, we only won offensive boards because we shot so badly.We missed 55 shots, they missed 37 shots. I don't know what the second chance points were, anyone know?

 

[H.C.]

Rebounding turned around.
Lets see if it sticks in new york. Long way to go before we get to 82.

 

[DUB]

You guys can't complain abut rebounding when we win and then ignore rebounding when we lose. Give the guys credit. They fought on the glass tonight.

It was a much improved effort compared to recently. I wonder how much Ed Davis starting had to do with this?

It's not up to you. It's not up to me. We can't "try your idea" and make them give up. They're not going to give up because they are competitors. So cheer them on.

It was part of it definitely. Vonleh fought on the glass too.

Only allowing a team with Davis and Asik to grab ONE offensive rebound in an entire game is a phenomenal feat.

 

[BrunoSOC]

After a blown out thank for THE rebounds guys... wtf.

Lemme google it for you.

Won't happen.

Lets make a bet. If we come back 7-10 then you agree to never make a prediction on this thread. If we don't come back 7-10 I will filter my negativity out a lot more when it comes to game threads. Deal?

CJ may be better than Dame (no offense to Dame) so that would be stupid.

In what ways is he better? He's a ball hog, a worse defender, and not as good of a scorer.

 

[Tunchi]

Remember we use to laugh when ppl thought Utah was better than us ?

This season they're both averaging 1.8 ORPG, so it was a good effort, and absolutely a positive; but I don't know about "phenomenal".

I don't like the bet. I won't change the kind of fan I am. But I'll bet you $100.

CJ had 5 assists tonight by the way. 43% from three. Very good player.

Dude. I was talking about the TEAM. A TEAM with Asik and Davis was held to 1 offensive rebound. Those two alone average 3.6 so holding the whole TEAM to 1 is a phenomenal effort.

It's not about changing the fan you are it's about changing the poster you are

There's gonna be a lot less offensive rebounds for the other team when they're shooting in the mid 50s.

I'll post how I want to post.

But only ONE?? They missed more than 1 shot.

Would you explain the members for me? I hadn't watched South Park in years and I watched a couple nights ago. I had no idea what was going on.

I concur. Better not waste Lillard's good years playing like this and getting stuck in that mediocre range.

At the least, you can trade that high lottery pick+filler for Cousins this summer.

Thank you

We could have done that last year and saved a little time now.

But nooooooo let's be the cute little 44 win team who most likely exits in the 1st round or a lucky 2nd round appearance

Dude, we can't make our team go to the lottery. So why are you saying "we should try" that?
