Game Thread GAME# 22: BUCKS @ BLAZERS - NOVEMBER 30, 2017 - THURSDAY, 7:00 (PST), NBATV & NBCSNW

I've said for years CJ is a natural 6 man...he's a young Jason Terry....guy who should come off the bench and score in bunches against bench 2 guards....I still think that's his calling...to be the next Jamal Crawford, Jason Terry type 6 man of the year .....he has to wear himself out guarding starting caliber 2 guards as it is...I'd love some length at the 2 guard with the starters....I'd start Pat Connaughton at the 2 with Chief at the 3 ...bring CJ, Mo, Ed, Bazz off the bench...let Dame and CJ play together coming out of half time

 

[riverman]

CJ can play. Whatever you may think of trading him, there's not even a comparison to their skill level.

I've never advocated trading CJ....

 

[ripcityboy]

Harkless didn’t even play in the second half.

Was wondering why I didn't see him. He didn't even play the first half.

CJ is A LOT better than Jamal Crawford and Jason Terry. What our offense is missing is Crabbe. Let the haters say whatever they want, but then please explain why our offense was good last year, as well as in the few games Connaughton shot well in this year?

Mo's a New Yorker...probably a bit high maintenance and he just got the paycheck of his lifetime....mailing it in...overfed, no longer hungry...cruisin' with cash...he got Meyers Leonard money

This has probably been talked about from every angle but just think about what would have happened in the game if the refs didn't call that foul on Nurkic.
Lets say he stuffs the Freak and the rebound which went to Aminu was immediately passed to Lillard who promptly drains a wide open three on the other end of the court. The lead is then 11 instead and the Rose Garden explodes.
Sorry but IMO it was time for Stotts to get ejected on that one. He should not have allowed that to happen without a fine. Hope he speaks his mind and gets one anyway.

That call killed some seriously determined forward motion....which was crucial to having a shot at even OT in this one....I was actually happy to see Stotts get a T when he had every reason to bitch....he doesn't do that often

I wouldn’t even blame him honestly. We tried getting rid of/replacing him all summer. It’s easy to tell him to be professional as an outsider but if it happened to you, you’d probably be over it as well.

It’s time for Olshey to do his job.

Mo has also been offered up on the trade block all summer...so there's that factor...loyalty is a two way street

 

[Darkwebs]

You know what this loss means? We gotta burn those jinx jerseys. There's no other choice.

Being at the game is was obvious the fix was in early on. What's that old short evil ref's name again? What a POS.

I didn't mean "you" specifically. I was using that as a figure of speech towards those who want to trade CJ.

A trade centered around Harkless and Mirotic makes sense for both teams. Mirotic can’t be traded until January though.

This. Get a young priest and an old priest while your at it. Along with burning sage and holy water.

Original Kansas City Chiefs hated their jerseys so much they all got drunk and threw them in a bonfire after a game.

Adidas?

 

[Mediocre Man]

Going back through this thread, and I know THAT was a mistake, now, I see a lot of whiny bitching about the refs. So to ease your soccer mom feelings, Milwaukee was called for more fouls than us, 20 - 14. They also shot fewer FT's than we did at 15 - 17. Next excuse, please

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Next excuse, please

We lost.

 

[THE HCP]

Where is @Dougnsalem when you need him?

Remember, I made him quit.

 

[Mediocre Man]

He's got Martell Webster syndrome. Pretty shot, rarely goes in

Hey, fun fact of the day. Did you know Martell Webster has a higher career 3p%, .382, than Dame, .368

 

[Mediocre Man]

We lost.

Acceptance. This is a good first step

 

[BonesJones]

We played rather poorly, they played very well, and we lost by 12. It happens, but everybody is quicker to yell "Trade CJ!!!" or say "This loss tells me this team sucks" than they are to admit the other team played well.

On easier 3s than Dame gets, and a lot more catch and shoot.

They played a more physical brand than we did. There were some awful calls, including one that even you'd hate on the refs for.

Personally, I'd be mad, and my competitiveness would make me want to dominate Melo every time we faced and show everyone why it would've been a mistake to trade me. You know what word describes that? PRIDE.

 

[BonesJones]

Either way he gets paid to do a job.

Yeah, that was fucked up.

No he's not. He plays better in the starting line-up than with the bench unit. Not all scoring guards belong on the bench. Usually SGs off the bench are just as good of defenders as starting SGs, so I don't see how he scores more... Bringing him off the bench makes 0 sense.

You're also saying we should play him less. Start Pat over CJ? Cmon...

 

[BonesJones]

Blazer fans don’t like guys that don’t try, it’s historically accurate with this fan base when you have very loved past blazers like kersey or Wesley Matthews and then guys who are some of the most disliked as players such as Felton and Meyers. Harkless has basically joined that club.

Meyers tries. Harkless is a fucking bum. Least favorite player on the team.
