Game Thread GAME# 17: BLAZERS @ CAVALIERS - NOVEMBER 23, 2016 - WEDNESDAY, 4:00 PM (PDT), CSNNW

[Sinobas]

No Aminu. We have the best starting lineup in the NBA when Aminu plays.

You god damn right! We are the best team in the NBA!

 

[Cippy91]

Fans are frustrated and we have one dude in here who is too negative and another one that is on some sort of happy pill making everything fine. Kevin love scoring the most points ever in a quarter is a problem. Can't put a hand in his face? We are seeing the same thing every night. Terrible defense, rebounding. If dame had an alright game which for him is 20 points we would be behind 40. You can sit here and tell me they competed all you want but I see 131 points on the board for Cleveland meaning that issue isn't solved yet. We lose to shit and mediocre teams and get blown out by contenders. At this point as a fan it's getting really frustrating. I expected this tonight, I really did but I wasn't hoping I would be proved wrong. Now we can act completely illogical and talk about how they competed and things are turning around or be logical and talk about how there is a major problem still

 

[Sinobas]

13 point game! The comeback begins!

I know right? Shit gets tiring. It's no different than tunchi being ridiculously negative. It's illogical horse shit

 

[Scalma]

Quarterman can defend

It's true. Our starting lineup with Aminu is +15 per 100 possessions. Best in NBA. Our problem was Turner sucking and coughing up our big leads. When Aminu comes back, with Turner playing better, we should be in great shape. And that is VERY logical.

 

[riverman]

Our 3rd string rocks!

 

[riverman]

There's some serious shooting at the end of our bench

 

[Trackjack]

There is some positive of this game but it all on the offense end. I think they play hard tonight but they have to figure out the defense end. Thumb up for Dame Turner Mo Plum they all good offense showing.

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

THE NBA.....
IT'S FAAAAAANTASTIC!!!!

 

[Shaboid]

Feels like the entire team is offense, except for maybe a couple of the players. I think even they know a trade is on the horizon.

 

[Sinobas]

Geez guys, time ran out before we could finish our comeback. The Cavs just won by luck. If Kevin Love had missed all of he's shots, we'd have won.

 

[HolyBackboard]

Stotts is in over his fucking head. Conceding switches on screens that barely brush.....with this personnel.

His pick and roll strategy is a nightmare. He really needs to hire a defensive coordinator, because his entire scheme is not working.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Cavs just scored most points for franchise in 24 years.

Cool!

Mike Rice has cursed the team.

 

[Sinobas]

Mike Rice has cursed the team.

then bring him back, along with Barrett.

What's that old saying about the mouse and a piece of cheese? You stop putting the piece of cheese at the end of the maze, what happens?
The mouse stops playing. That's what the NBA feels like now if you're a Blazer fan.

 

[riverman]

I blame Ducks football for all Blazer problems...I just like blaming football for everything

You're going to have fun in the upcoming strike then. This should definitely be a good one. Baseball's labor issues are at least solvable. But my guess is
Richard Sherman ends up holding Roger Goodell's head outside of the NFL Headquarters and strikes a Harry Hamlin pose.

 

[Tunchi]

I'm back

 

[Cippy91]

New conspiracy. The team isn't good because mike and mike are gone

I've never heard that saying before. I've heard of the carrot and stick for a donkey. Have you heard the call-to-war slogan, "Are we men, or are we mice!"

A few non-negative observations (are those allowed?):

Plumlee is becoming a consistent scoring threat.

Turner is also doing better on scoring the past two games.

Chief is close to returning and it can't come too soon. The Blazers lost this one because of Love's crazy-hot start. That doesn't happen with Aminu on him instead of Ed.

Lillard got his MVP mojo back tonight despite it being a back-to-back. He'd been a little flat lately.

The road trip is over. Time for a little home cooking.

Anybody else have some positives?

Bring him back. The new guys are awful

A few more losses and we can snag our 3rd of the big 3 in the lottery like we should have last year

"I hope I didn't leave the stove on"

"I wonder if we are going to have pumpkin pie"

"I can't wait to get home and see Bella"

"Oh shit that's my man open in the corner"

OMG this made me ROFL haha

 

[Cippy91]

To be honest I really do miss the shit out of mike and mike. Barrett is no colabro obviously but man mike and mike was the duo. They were fun to listen to, I didn't need listen to them for playcalling, in watching the game, I know what's going on. They had the homer feel going on as well as the sense of humor that was a cringe kind of funny. Kevin and Lamar are just bleh to me

 

[Tunchi]

Wow we have trash defense
