Game Thread GAME# 14: CLIPPERS @ BLAZERS - NOVEMBER 20, 2015 - FRIDAY, 7:00 PM (PST), CSNNW

Give Davis minutes and he will produce. Like Aminu, he is not a "star" - just a good, solid NBA player. More than can be said of Leonard and Vonleh.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Really nice to see everything come together with the supporting cast if just for a night. Good stuff.

 

[Binx]

Three Blazers with double-doubles in points and rebounds. Not sure if that's ever been done before. Nice win, guys!!

According to Barrett: last year against the Clippers, Text, Kaman, and Legend all had double doubles.

 

[Elton]

Yep. They're just not good enough. Chris Paul isn't good enough. Their time has passed.

I'm kind of happy that their dumb luck with the Lakers/Paul fiasco didn't fully pay off. Schadenfreude at it's finest, I know.

 

[Scalma]

Aminus decisions with the ball in his hands is trial by fire but he does so many other things it doesn't even matter.

 

[HailBlazers]

Plumlee on his contact is so much better than Lopez or Kanter.

 

[Scalma]

Imagine this team with Simmons or Ingram though [emoji50]

 

[Elton]

It is a bit aggravating though. I love his effort but it's more than offset quite often with his pressing to score.

Definitely but I think he'll get it. Remember this is the first time he's had this kind of responsibility/freedom at the NBA level. It's inevitable that the game will slow down for him eventually.

He reminds me of a halfway intelligent Travis Outlaw. Still hate the extra arch on his shot.

 

[Scalma]

I'll still take aminu over batum, at least aminu cares about basketball. Batums game vs Portland was just more proof it's all mental with him. He can play like that whenever he wants, but CHOOSES not to.

 

[Tunchi]

Plumz and Ed were so so good. I don't care about spacing, I want those two on the court b

You wouldn't think it would either since the spacing gets limited. Is it their energy?

 

[KingSpeed]

Text?

Leonard is a sensational player. What are you talking about?

What?

 

[riverman]

Great to get a win!

Hard work CAN trump unmotivated talent.

That was the worst thing about Batum--just knowing he was nearly always playing beneath his abilities.

 

[blue9]

In that case games like tonight prove that Davis and Plumlee can play like this whenever they way, but they CHOOSE not to.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Text?

Sorry, autocorrect... I meant Tex.

 

[42N8Bounce]

Just got back from the game with my son. Nice win! Neck and neck all game, then Dame Time kicked in! The energy with our bigs was awesome. Great to see them hitting those free-throws. That made a huge difference.

My son had the opportunity to be a t-shirt recipient during introductions. He got an autographed t-shirt from CJ, and got to be up on the big screen. Fun night!

 

[Darkwebs]

I don't know what's going on here.....

....but I like it.

 

[Darkwebs]

Too soon

No. Not soon enough.

 

[oldmangrouch]

Leonard is a sensational player. What are you talking about?

Stick to acting. Stand-up comedy really isn't your bag.

 

[Darkwebs]

March 16 Justin Beaber at Moda Center everyone. Mark it on your calander.

He's there every home game, no need to mark it down.

 

[Darkwebs]

That's fair but I pretty much always root for the underdog.

No wonder you're a Blazer fan.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Leonard is a sensational player. What are you talking about?

He'll be lucky to get on the all star bullet kingspeed.

 

[Draco]

Blake Griffin has really improved his shot. It's crazy how things can change- Few years ago love was the best PF when with Minny, then Aldridge took that spot, now it belongs to Griffin. Soon it will probably be Davis.

Its been Griffin for a few years. He was overrated when he first came in the league but he's been very underrated the last 2-3 seasons.

 

[Draco]

WTF we're 2/9 FTs?!!!!!!

Granted I started watching in 2nd qtr

That was the Clippers
