Game Thread GAME# 15: BLAZERS @ KINGS - NOVEMBER 17, 2017 - FRIDAY, 7:00 (PST), NBCSNW

Is it Dame and CJ more than Stotts?

 

[Mediocre Man]

Meyers Fucking Leonard played 4 minutes and had a plus minus of -11....LOL

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Nurkic made Kuofos look like an All-Star tonight. That ain't on Stotts.

Or is it? Does it seem like Stotts is asking for the best big man coach that money can buy? Is another poster correct tonight who says Stotts needs to provide more structure for Nurkic?

 

[BrunoSOC]

We'll play down to them on one of the two games. 1-1.

You call

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Excuses help. Plus, Aminu's hurt. He's our best scoring forward never mind the defense.

Aminu seems to be really important to this team; this is the second year in a row when we really play bad when he is out. But good teams deal with that and keep playing well. Why don't we?

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Blazers are DEAD LAST in NBA in assist per game... if that isn’t enough of a sign for you that McLillard doesn’t work...

Last in assists and last in fast break points; how does that make Stotts an "offensive genius" as some have called him?

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Is it possible that Olshey still has a fantasy of being able to trade Leonard and Layman and asked Stotts to play them during meaningful minute (not end of game, blowout times); hoping against a bad team they might do something good?

Did not get the game on radio. I suppose they cut power at dark to keep the range the same. It doesn't, it gets worse at dark. Should not be that way with AM.

Oh well, just as well I guess. This team is not really playing basketball by the look of the box. More like the Chucker brothers and the boys.
Except the Chuckers are not chucking, just a high flick count. Half the shots by the starting guards? WTF? I suppose it wouldn't be quite so bad, but for the wrong guard taking most that half. The other missing most of that half.

Time to find a coach that knows the game.

 

[Blazers Roy]

Nurk saying he has the flu? I mean... that kind of explains it. I've had to play with the flu, albeit just in high school, but my brain was scrambled. Not everyone is Michael Jordan. Although I did tie my career high that night. Holy shit I'm Michael Jordan. Fuck I should have made a go at college ball.

MJ didnt have the flu in that famous game, he had food poisoning.

Wow. Curious why some thought we were really going to be so good this year? This isn’t an “I told you so” post, I don’t do that. But man when I said we would finish behind Minny, Houston and OKC....... I got blasted. That pinwheel fever clouds the common sense around here. This season is going to be looooong for some of you. We are still a little above my projected pace, so that’s a good thing. Go Blazers.

Surely even you didn't think we'd be so bad as to lose to the Nets and Kings?
I think most people agreed with you that we'd be behind HOU/OKC/MIN (MIN is about where people begin to fall to one side of the other, IMO). You can't take the opinions of the Kingspeeds of the forum and apply them across the board. But most people - rightly - felt like we should be miles ahead of BKN/SAC. This has been a pathetic early showing from the Blazers.

 

[tlongII]

We’ll be fine.

 

[THE HCP]

Okay so you just expected to lose to a shitty Brooklyn and Kings team coming off a 46 point loss? Lol okay I guess people can’t be unhappy about that. Boy, you just expect everything. So right all the time.

I didn’t expect anything but maybe a first round exit at the most. Losing to the Kings and seeing an insane questionable lineup being put in wasn’t expected by anybody at all actually. You give people shit for not being fans enough but when these fans show their love for the team to the point losses like this get them rightfully upset, you still have a comment to make about them. Yeah people over react and some on here don’t but it seems no matter what you always have some dumb I told you so type shit to say on every game thread

I didn’t think anything particular about those games. It’s a long season. We will win games we shouldn’t and lose some we shouldn’t. Thats the game. And to be honest I don’t think i was giving people “shit”. Do you think what I posted was dumb shit.
