Game Thread GAME# 15: BLAZERS @ TIMBERWOLVES - NOVEMBER 16, 2018 - FRIDAY, 5:00 PM, NBCSNW

[LuckyShot]

They just mailed this fucking game in. Absolutely brainless basketball. Minnesota doesn't even have to defend us.

 

[Cippy91]

Get blown out by the lakers and now you have been getting smacked by Minnesota all game wth no good runs. Come on

 

[LayneStaley]

This is a L

 

[BonesJones]

Starting to get a bad feeling

You're just starting too?

 

[TBpup]

Blazers turnovers are brutal!

 

[Cippy91]

Do you expect us to win every game?

No but I expect the team I saw for a majority of the season so far to show up and compete. This isn’t just losing, these are blowouts

 

[BonesJones]

Stottsfense is back to its normal incompetency.

 

[Gronk Brady]

Damn it, I let this team reel me in and fool me again... they are who we thought they were.

 

[KingSpeed]

Alright need a big 4th quarter!

 

[VenomXL]

This game is zero fun to watch. I feel like I'm doing it on assignment.

 

[LayneStaley]

Horrible game

 

[TBpup]

Nice Trent Tucker reference from Calabro in that situation.

 

[KingSpeed]

Damn it, I let this team reel me in and fool me again... they are who we thought they were.

Second in West?

 

[BonesJones]

Its not a narrative its an observation when he touched the ball shooting it was all he had in mind. Never said he took bad shots.

I'm glad that, when he had good shot opportunities, that shooting was all that was on his mind.

 

[KingSpeed]

No but I expect the team I saw for a majority of the season so far to show up and compete. This isn’t just losing, these are blowouts

Let’s see how the 4th quarter goes

 

[LayneStaley]

I hate KG for life. The fact he’s there in one of those lame purple jersey ACTING tough and talking Shit is pathetic.

 

[Paine Tablet]

That turnover by Dame was terrible where he lost the ball due to bad ballhandling, then once he recovered the loose ball he proceeded to dribble forward only to lose it again.

 

[BonesJones]

November and December are our hardest months. If were still top 5 or 6 after December, itll be a good sign.

 

[TBpup]

Second in West?

Yes...and if they lose, 1 loss away from what the #7 and #8 teams in the West have.

 

[Rhal]

We have almost as many missed 3’s as turnovers. The games not over with 3 shooting as it is but we will need to not turn the call over and hit 6+ 3s in this quarter to have a shot.

 

[H.C.]

Go Blazers. I get to catch the 4th quarter.
Awesome.
Lets come back on Minn.

 

[BonesJones]

What a stupid pass Dame.

 

[TBpup]

Meyers....10 points in 12 minutes. Props to the Hammer.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

I'm glad that, when he had good shot opportunities, that shooting was all that was on his mind.

Sure? He did have guys open to pass to though at least on one of those drives. It wasn't a narrative or a complaint, it was just an observation he will have to find guys. It's his first "real" nba minutes so it is what it is...

 

[BonesJones]

Our pick n roll drfense is garbage. Straight butter.

 

[LuckyShot]

This team always puts up games like this about 4-5 times a year it seems, and goes through a few stretches where motivation appears to be a big problem. I guess we are getting one out early at least?

 

[VenomXL]

Scoring every time down. So easy for them.

 

[BonesJones]

Meyers' pick n roll defense is absolutely pathetic right now.

 

[LayneStaley]

No Knees Rose doin whatever he wants

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

It's a long trip, just empty your bench at this point...
