Game Thread GAME# 21: HEAT @ BLAZERS - DECEMBER 3, 2016 - SATURDAY, 7:00 PM (PDT), CSNNW

So nice to see our Defense is as good as ever.

I do notice slight improvement though. I guess that counts for something.

I hate slow starts. Come on guys, you had 3 days rest.

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

He can against teams that don't play any defense.

That turn around fade away he hit on Plumlee is because of lack of defense? Really?

 

[julius]

These starts are the ear marks of a mediocre team.

 

[Tunchi]

Ya like this blazer team?

Meh

that was a darned tough make by him.

What do you know, we are getting killed in the paint again

Only two full days and did they not have practices?

 

[SheedSoNasty]

Hassan looks really good.

We are? I see Whiteside and McRoberts hitting from outside.

 

[KingSpeed]

Ya like this blazer team?

Yes I do.

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

He just shot a midrange 15 footer now! Whiteside couldn't shoot for shit last year now he's looking like The Texas Turnout out there!

Now I hate we couldn't sign him even more, we would have had a rim protector and reliable scoring. Damn.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Oh...well....forgive me: TWO days of rest. At home. My bad.

I say we put Meyers in and have him cover Whiteside. What do we have to lose?

A basketball game.

 

[KingSpeed]

The Heat team put the hurt on Utah, didn't they? We better respect them.

I think inconsistency is the earmark of all young teams, in every sport. Given we're the second youngest roster in the NBA (only Philly is younger) I think it's to be expected.

 

[KingSpeed]

We started great against Indiana.

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

This is ridiculous. No Flagrant.

 

[Tunchi]

When is a trade coming this team sucks

 

[Cippy91]

So we are at the point of excuses now for how badly this team plays? Great

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

That's the right call. Johnson pushed Meyers for nothing.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Christ. Gonna be one of those games, huh?

 

[julius]

Christ. Gonna be one of those games, huh?

It sure has started out as one of those games.

 

[KingSpeed]

We're missing shots we usually make.

 

[KingSpeed]

I'm loving Turner now. He's really getting comfortable with the team. Once Aminu comes back, we'll be a powerhouse in this league. When Aminu was playing, our only weakness WAS Turner. Now Turner is better.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Crabbe, make a shot, please.

 

[KingSpeed]

Crabbe, make a shot, please.

He made one already

 

[DUB]

We're missing shots we usually make.

The pressure of expectation? Playing against a poor team, at home; we're expected to win.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Christ, that was an UGLY quarter. We should be winning this.

LOL

OK, I knew that. I should have said make a big shot.
