Game Thread GAME# 20: PACERS @ BLAZERS - DECEMBER 3, 2015 - THURSDAY, 7:00 PM (PST), CSNNW

That's what I've been hoping for since the start of the season. Crabbe is really evolving. I see no possibly way he can't be good Danny green.

God Danny Green sucks this year. So disappointing for my fantasy team.

 

[EGame]

I told you Sinobas. We got this.

Yup. I've never been a fan of the CJ/Dame backcourt.

 

[Scalma]

CJ and Dame open things up for each other. Watch how the ball dies when one of them goes out. Crabbe is just fine where he is. He's played 25+ minutes the past two games

 

[Tunchi]

Lillard shot well today mainly because he didn't jack those Steph Curry type of 3s he's fallen in love with. Everything else about his game I've repeatedly said is fine and that continued to show tonight


Crabbe I've loved for a long time now. He's a nice player that's right on schedule on his development if not slightly ahead. Defense is solid as well. And he was a 2nd rounder. What a steal. Keeper

Expected PG to eat us alive. And given Aminus downturn recently, I figured we'd get 40 dropped on us.

Major crow on my part. Nasty d by Aminu, and great team d to bump George around and help at the right time by bigs, etc. Nice

 

[Scalma]

You might not see it on the stat sheet but Vonleh is really developing this past week or so. You can see his confidence rise and that's the most exciting part about him. Once he gets confident in his talent, watch out.

 

[jlprk]

A .368 team beat a .706 team. Those were our records going into the game.

 

[HailBlazers]

Which roots track did he play?

 

[illmatic99]

Sadly, however we probably won't shoot that well from 3 again this season. 18 makes, 50% from three. Guessing that's not sustainable.

Speaking of which, you guys who want AC starting, you think his performamce is sustainable? Asked earlier this year if he's starting material but seems inconsistent. Flashes are there though

Blazers are better than their record. Pacers are worse than theirs.

 

[HailBlazers]

Ed Davis tied for third behind DJ and Drummond for total offensive rebounds, that's legit.

Steal of the summer.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

He's also 4th in the league in ORtg, behind Iguadola, Curry, and Durant. Dude is a BALLER.

 

[Trackjack]

Great win still need to cut our turnover but overall good offense game.

Our season is 8 wins, 12 losses. First we went 4-6. Then we went 4-6.

Our Crabbe stock is going through the roof! Good thing we were in on the ground floor.

 

[HailBlazers]

Steal of the summer.

From the Fakers to boot.

 

[42N8Bounce]

I just got back from the game. Nice win! I must say, our second unit was solid tonight. Ed Davis on the boards, and Crabbe with the offense. Great to see that depth. With this team, you never know who's going to step up and perform. 123 points was fun to watch!

 

[MarAzul]

Hey! Look at that! Damian had an A/M of 1.0 tonight. Blazers win too. 26 assists, nice..

 

[Pinwheel1]

Crabbe is certainly a bright spot. We need to keep him. Can swing between 2-3. Can shoot and defend. Hopefully he is part of the long term plan. Kind of a poor man's Klay Thompson.

 

[dviss1]

I don't know, I think it's rare to see him in the post but he seems covert fairly well down there. He increases that and he'll get Paid.

That should be his whole offseason.

More like a poor man's Wesley Matthews.

 

[dviss1]

No he didn't...

He banged knees with Al Farouq Aminu.

 

[HolyBackboard]

Great win!

However, I'm starting to wonder if there is enough minutes to go around for all of our bigs? Noah, Mase, Ed, and Meyers are all producing right now and each deserves more playing time than they are getting.

 

[KingSpeed]

Reminds me more of Reggie Miller running off screens and scoring on threes and in the midrange.

The Al Farouq Aminu downturn has only really been on offense. His D has been solid all season. This is the reason why he should continue to start. As much as I like Allen Crabbe, he does not have Aminu's defensive ability.

Stotts had Wes doing the exact same thing. It's true though that Wesley did take a lot more threes off the dribble than Allen Crabbe. But when you see him taking those flare screens, Wesley Matthews did that all season.
