Game Thread GAME# 17: BLAZERS @ CAVALIERS - NOVEMBER 23, 2019 - SATURDAY, 5:00 PM, NBCSNW

[Blazers1977]

Did you forget , with Lillard playing 37 minutes and scoring 39 points, and Whiteside going 22 and 11, that we lost to the Golden State Warriors, the team with the worst record in the NBA? With one home win (the Blazers).

Did something change since then that would warrant a meltdown? Amnesia take hold?

The logic that “we had a bad night and loss to the worst team” so were always going to play down to that level is an absurd argument.

one game is one game. Can’t count how many times ive heard the GS game pulled out as if it’s some undeniable proof that all is lost.

 

[Blazers1977]

I’m split on the player question.
Bazemore isn’t playing well and has a large contract and Tolliver is a pretty good option also.
I would have to think Baze with an expiring contract has more value but they sure could use a good player in that position?

Shoulda kept Turner instead of Bazemore. We’d have a backup pg and 2nd unit’s offense wouldn’t be a total shot show. I called this before the season started. Nobody appreciated Turner.

also shoulda kept Aminu instead of Tolliver and/or Mario.

The grass is always greener.

The funny thing is i bet the Blazers have lost the worst team in the league or at least one of them every year i have ever watched the team.

Dame playing

 

[Labinot41]

Next 4 games are crucial: Cavaliers, Bulls, Thunder and Bulls. I expect 4:0 !

 

[BigGameDamian]

I hope Kevin Love plays so Neil and Jody can watch him.

 

[Chris Craig]

Well we get to see Dame,CJ, and Melo together. Should be interesting

 

[Chris Craig]

I hope Kevin Love plays so Neil and Jody can watch him.

They can watch him on the bench

"Damn, that guy is good!"

 

[DDolla]

Beat the Cavs then the Bulls. 3-3 road record is not bad then win two at home.

 

[Blazers1977]

Blazers are nearly 3-1 favorites to win tonight...

 

[Darkwebs]

I hope Kevin Love plays so Neil and Jody can watch him.

 

[kjironman1]

Well this will help Skals advanced stats. Might even have a good rebounding game.

To answer the quiz, it would be a dream-come-true to make McCollum's contract disappear. If the vote is on talent alone, it's Hezonja or Tolliver. But we need Tolliver right now, while Hezonja hurts us everytime he plays with his flashy turnovers. So between Hezonja and McCollum, I voted for McCollum.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Here's a weird and troubling stat: over the past ten games, CJ has played 379 minutes and shot a grand total of TWELVE fts. He's made 6 of them.
For comparison: James Harden has played 2 minutes more (381) and shot 136 fts - more than 11 TIMES as many.

Uh oh

FUCKING STOP WATCHING

[DDolla]

OMG we are wearing the red curse jersey again UGh!

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

It's not even Tolliver's fault... But he barely belongs out there at his natural position, playing him at center it's just such a mismatch...

[Rastapopoulos]

Why would Cleveland want to remind people of the Bobby Sura years? People hated that uni AT THE TIME and time has not improved it.

 

[julius]

Hold on, did Tom Hanks son play a young Mr Rogers in the movie!?

 

[KingSpeed]

I know!! So weird. Everyone hated those unis. They were a joke. Now they’re nostalgic about it??

 

[riverman]

Go good guys! Lost the illegal live stream so it's a radio game tonight...got to see 15 games on it...not bad ...

CJ’s game is about getting a clean look by avoiding contact.

 

[illmatic99]

ooh that Melo drive off a double team on Dame was spicy.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

I hope this is the game that Melo gets his 20+ and we win. I hope that every game...

 

[illmatic99]

I'd take Skal vs Clarkson over CJ vs Thompson. Messed up that mismatch

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Sexton running wild once Hood out

 

[hoopsjock]

Did all those people that gave Melo a hard time for waiving off CJ just see CJ do it to Skal while Skal had a PG on him with good seal position?
