Game Thread GAME# 23: PELICANS @ BLAZERS - DECEMBER 2, 2017 - SATURDAY, 7:00 (PST), NBCSNW

[DUB]

As I said before, if Meyers could play Cousins every game then he would be worth his contract. We don't play NO every game this season though....

Maybe we can hypnotize Meyers into seeing NOLO jerseys every game, or tape a picture of Boogie in his locker?

 

[Jade Falcon]

Both Nurk, and CJ have been in a funk lately. I don't know what's going on, but I hope they both snap out of it.

I'm still waiting for Nurk to look like a Beast. He has been BAD this year. Terrible touch around the basket and dumb turnovers. He makes some great plays, but makes about 3 errors for each good play.

....the fuck am I reading here? Nurk has been an absolute beast for about the past month. In fact, he's having the best season of his career right now, and it's not even close. Tonight's loss was NOT on him. Not even close.

He hasn't even come close to what he did for us after the trade last year. He looks a lot like the player who was sent to the Denver bench. Tonight's loss isn't on him. It is on every player. I'm just not happy with Nurk's performance on the season.

Then that's your problem. I can count numerous games where he's scored 25, 28, 29, 28, 17, 19.....I sure as fuck wish that POS Meyers would put up those numbers.

AND Nurk plays Defense.

What more do you fucking want?

This is Stotts's problem, not Nurks. Stotts blew that 2nd quarter like a Chilean prostitute.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Fuck you, Stotts. Where was YOUR focus in the 2nd Quarter when Cousins and Co. were bending us over and not using lube?

 

[KeepOnRollin]

If we could trade Nurk+Turner to LA for Jordan I'd fucking do it. Tired of those two carelessness...

I might consider it a minute just to get rid of Turner but Jordan is a horrible fit for this team. Great D of course but his type of O (lobs) aren't our game and he is limited at everything else. Can't keep him in at the end of games due to his bad free throw shooting and etc.

Then change the fucking way our offense runs, it's shit now, at least with DJ you can throw it up and get some easy buckets... instead of making everything harder on ourselves

Stotts has no clue. His analysis with Wheels consisted of 'well, we got off to a nice start, and then it kinda got away from us.' Sweet Jesus.

 

[BBert]

Meyers at his contract > Turner at his contract

 

[DUB]

Stotts analysis with Wheels consisted of 'well, we got off to a nice start, and then it kinda got away from us.'

100% accurate.

He's always been like that. I've never been overly impressed with Stotts.

 

[TBpup]

CJ was invisible tonight.

He didn't seem that invisible. I saw him bricking shots left and right. Kind of wish he'd been less visible. 15-42 the last two games while missing WIDE OPEN teammates left and right.

 

[ripcityboy]

Yep. All that talent.... other teams don't stand a chance.

We are the last team that should feel this way.

 

[Cippy91]

 

[Jade Falcon]

Yep, time for him to go. Can't believe I supported him this off-season.

 

[rotary111]

Time for some big changes.

His offense and rebounding have been disappointing, but he’s like 90% of the reason that we have good defense.

 

[TBpup]

He certainly does make their defense better but even at that, it's still not that great IMO. Giving up 125 to the Nets without Russell and 123 to the Pels without Davis is not exactly anything to write home about.

Very true, about the defense. I have been disappointed though, and really just wanted to vent for a moment.

 

[GrandJury]

Damn this team sucks. Good news is we can start the rebuild sooner. That’s why I been telling ya this team just ain’t that good. I believe we will have better direction if we just move on

Start? We're three years into it bud.

What's your suggested plan of action? Tanking? Who do you plan in drafting then and what attributes of theirs appeal to you? Flex that basketball knowledge you act like you have.

 

[ripcityboy]

Terry's got his limitations but he's also got his strengths. I look at it this way, if he can't get our offensive our of regular slumps.... who the hell can? It's as much about the players as the coaching. I really believe we are a trade away from being a lot stronger, but Olshey, you have to do something!

 

[AFully22]

I decided to watch the Wisconsin-Ohio State game in the fourth because it was obvious this was a loss. But I’m not sure how you can be legitimately pissed about the loss, we are a mediocre to borderline good team and that’s exactly how they are performing. This team is what it is right now. Enjoy the fun wins even against bad teams and hope for the best but this is pretty much exactly what everyone should have expected.

 

[KingSpeed]

What about when he plays well?

 

[theprunetang]

Then he plays well. And I love it.

Hcp told you so attitude.

I see...

His plan of a rebuild revolves around cj which already would be a terrible start to a rebuild
