Game Thread GAME# 18: BLAZERS @ BUCKS - NOVEMBER 21, 2018 - WEDNESDAY, 5:00 PM, NBCSNW

[Paine Tablet]

Good god. Yeah, he hits the occasional 3, but he fucks us over on defense far more than he ever helps on offense in extended minutes. And if he's not hitting 3s, he's fucking our offense too. He's bad enough in limited minutes 9 times out of 10.

In 10 minutes he's at -1 +/-, by far best on team other than Evan Turner who is close.

 

[LuckyShot]

Holy shit, Moe. I'm ready to trade his ass.

 

[H.C.]

Moe starts.

Thank you Lopez.

 

[Strenuus]

First play of the second half: Moe trying a 3... interesting.

 

[TBpup]

Turnovers & bad shots kill you against the Bucks.

Everytime Layman shoots Freak takes off to the other end make or miss.
Layman has missed every shot and Bucks got easy buckets to start the game after that.

A lot of (bad) credit given to a guy who played 3 minutes....lol.

 

[jonnyboy]

Passing the ball is just not something CJ does.

 

[Paine Tablet]

A lot of (bad) credit given to a guy who played 3 minutes....lol.

Yeah, and he only took two shots.

 

[Strenuus]

That was so bad. Good lord.

 

[Cippy91]

I already had the feeling the bucks would blow us out before the game started

 

[Strenuus]

Put in the bench.

 

[KingSpeed]

We don't have Roy

Yikes. We have Dame & CJ both of whom are capable of such magic.

Hey buddy, you missed the start of the game see?

Tuning in late due to holiday social activities.....should have stayed longer. My goodness. Looks a bit like how they played against the Knicks except the Bucks are much better.

Maybe if you would've saw how the game started you wouldn't be talking like that to me.

I didn't dispute what you said did I. Damn, taking a legit observation a bit personally. Happy Thanksgiving.

 

[oldmangrouch]

CALL.


A


TIMEOUT

Who the fuck else lets a team go from 9 points to 20 without a timeout?

My biggest gripe with Stotts, right there. Is he too stubborn? Too afraid? Does he suffer vapor lock under pressure? It seems like many games his coaching ends as soon as the game starts!

 

[Strenuus]

Whelp, Giannis has become unwatchable. Good job, NBA.

 

[H.C.]

2 three point attempts, leading to Freak getting 1 clear path foul because he beat Layman down and got a lob over the top with a foot in the restricted area.
Other one wasn't a clear path, but it was a dunk.
The game started with Freak getting this position with Layman taking contested 3's.

It's not 100% on him, but it's the trend the game went.

Just because I mention a player who played 3 minutes doesn't mean I'm putting this effort on him alone.
I'm allowed to point things like this out.
Even tho posters like you would rather Lillard, Nurk, CJ, Stotts, NO, Allen get all the blame.

 

[TBpup]

D69 roles his eyes at games like this. He was SO adamant about Giannis in that Draft over almost everyone else.

 

[Strenuus]

LOL that whistle said "Well, he didnt get fouled... but wait, it's Giannis. Something must have happened!"

 

[KingSpeed]

We’re actually hanging with them this quarter. Need better D.

 

[TBpup]

Nurk might need to put the '3' ball away until next year. His form doesn't look bad and he might develop that at some point but looks like he needs a Summer of work to be much more consistent.

 

[Strenuus]

Giannis getting a case of the Beibs.

 

[Strenuus]

We’re actually hanging with them this quarter. Need better D.

Are we though? It's been between 20-24 almost all quarter.. So we're just trading baskets.

 

[LuckyShot]

LMFAO he's so bad.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

When does the game start?

 

[Strenuus]

Man... we need more consistent 3 point shooters for these kickouts. These are good looks.

 

[TBpup]

Even tho posters like you would rather Lillard, Nurk, CJ, Stotts, NO get all the blame.

Amusing.....let me know the post I've even even hinted at that I place all the blame on Lillard, Nurk, CJ, Stotts and NO. I've got a gift card for you when you quote that post for me.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

When does the game start?

The Blazers forgot too!

 

[Gronk Brady]

Aminu 0-10 fg, 0-7 3pt

exactly. Hanging even with them. Need to tighten D now.

 

[Chris Craig]

Looks like Giannis finally got tired
