Game Thread GAME# 16: KINGS @ BLAZERS - NOVEMBER 18, 2017 - SATURDAY, 7:00 (PST), NBCSNW

If Harkless had a superpower, it would be the ability to turn invisible.

He is a joke just like evan turnover absolutely useless on Offense. Shit no Wonder we suck badly on Offense this year. I am happy when chief comes back. I am really really looking Forward to that

 

[Darkwebs]

That’s pat

I say that if Pat had superpowers, he would have the ability turn intangible. Though his stats tonight may be paltry, he had the second best +/- of 18, finishing just behind Lillard. So Pat is like the definition of intangibles tonight. Meanwhile, Harkless had a +/- of 0, which is the definition of invisible.

 

[Jade Falcon]

How many of them are on playoff teams?

Really how many are playing a couple minutes when they go in. If you don't play you don't develope very fast. You don't develope very fastby trying through practice due to that practicing is different then playing real games.

I'm just saying that #10 picks shouldn't HAVE to go into D or G league. They should be contributing off the bench. Like our #26 pick is.

 

[Trackjack]

Yea we are hurting offensely at SF position I think there both decent defenders but we are not getting on the offense side.

 

[GrandJury]

Can you get the free McGriddle even if you didn’t go to the game?

It looks like Swanigan going get the same amount minutes like Collins getting due Vonleh move back in the starting line up and Leonard backing him up.

Swanigan barely plays and is a year older than Collins, he should be ahead of him development wise.

 

[Driew]

I think this two game series against the Kings has been more about them, than us.

The Kings played their best when they were at home, and reverted to their norm when traveling.

We played our best at home too.... almost like home court has an advantage.

 

[blue9]

FGA
Us - 70
Them - 89

Not gonna win many games when you give the opponent 19 more FGA! Speaks to just how bad the Kings are.

What's the opposite of "every cloud has a silver lining"?

 

[theprunetang]

That’s pat

Pat played well tonight. He only had 2 baskets, but he was a nice cog in the machine tonight playing well defensively, handling the ball, rebounding and trying to run the floor.

 

[Mediocre Man]

just think, if Meyers can go 11/7 over the next 15-20 games nd keep hittin 3's we can trade him! u should be rooting your ass off....

Neil would just max him out

 

[stampedehero]

Well, Stotts has one more paycheck as per our Blazers congregation.

 

[Blazinaway]

Harkless 0 Points 0/0 FG in 20 minutes. Wow

yep the Invisible man

 

[illmatic99]

We're still playing way too slow. 70 shots against this sac team is pathetic

I guess them wanting to be "Bad Boys" is paying dividends, because the offense is putting up points just like the Bad Boy Pistons. We need our version of Sheed at the trade deadline.

Maybe I'm wrong, but the "bad boy" Pistons were the ones from the 80's. To fit that teams m.o., they need a Mark Aguirre.

Yet we out rebounded them by 8. That pretty much leaves turnovers. We had 7 more (although 2 were from Zach in the last minute) Nonetheless we get way too careless with the ball. Too many lackadaisical possessions.....trying to be cute with the ball. Maybe they will be more focused on the road.

I think they need to go back to the basics and practice passing, especially bounce passes. Doubt if it will happen.

Naah. He made no difference. They were going to win it all with Adrian Dantley anyway.

We don't know that. Had the Lakers not been so injured during the finals that year (Scott was hurt before the series, and Magic got hurt in game 2), it's unknown if the Pistons would've won.

The Pistons were 33-13 without Mark, and went 30-6.

 

[rotary111]

Bazz is a very good player. Glad he got his shot here. Did he miss a shot last night?

Noah on defense is really damn good. I'm actually looking forward to Aminu coming back to see what they can do together.

 

[Labinot41]

Sounds like we still have to wait for Aminu to Come back

 

[julius]

Fun fact: The 1990-91 Trail Blazers lost their 7th game....in January.

 

[Blazinaway]

Sounds like we still have to wait for Aminu to Come back

come on Chief, look how fast one of our twin towers came back from a sprain!

 

[calvin natt]

When Al Faruq Aminu comes back that’ll change everything. Top 3 seed in West

 

[riverman]

Meyers seemed to have a solid game last night...I missed the game but his line looks pretty good...good to see

 

[MarAzul]

Well look at that! A few less shots by the guards, a few more assists, and we have win instead of a loss. Yeah! Glad to see they get it.

Some scoring from a back up big man is nice too.

 

[Trackjack]

When you that many turnover it a sign of undiscipline team and the team that not cherish every possession. Yes there going be turnover but they had 19 last night and 22 the night before. Some well excuse from being young but most these players been with each least the last 2 or 3 years. This reflect on carelessness and can reflect on coaching too.
