Game Thread GAME# 24: BLAZERS @ GRIZZLIES - DECEMBER 8, 2016 - THURSDAY, 5:00 PM (PDT), CSNNW

[Tunchi]

Yep they deserved to lose this. Absolutely pathetic game. Too many wasted possessions where they could have buried them and they let them hang around with players taking shots that they should not be taking.
Stotts has to stop giving them all free reign.
I can live with ET trying ONE 3 ball like he did tonight, but six for Aminu? And Plums needs to know when he is cold and stop shooting.

That's on the coach

All you have to do is sit Aminu when he shoots 3s

It's completely unnecessary

 

[Tunchi]

Bottom line is this team is trash

BonesJones is gonna get you now lolol

 

[craigehlo]

We wasted LaMarcus's prime. We'll waste Dame's too.

Paul Allen and the Olshay need to get real about roster upheaval.

 

[PCmor7]

I don't buy that back to back excuse. These are professional athletes. I was able to play back-to-back-to-backs in high school and manage not to play like shit. I feel like the back to back thing is just a cop out.

The back-to-back argument would hold more water if you didn't have Aminu firing a 3 and Plumlee shooting a foul-line jumper early in the shot clock with the lead in the final five minutes. Unless you are saying they were mentally exhausted. Those were just dumb plays.

SlyPokerDog, you're just a troll playing the percentages game. It's obvious we have less of a chance to win the championship this year than to win it, so you're just going to roll with the "Blazers suck" position because it's an easy one to troll people with and rub it in their faces when we lose. When we were winning in the first half and outplaying them, you were nowhere to be seen. Then we start playing worse and losing the lead and you can't stop shitposting. I don't believe that's a coincidence. Have a nice night, I'm sure you're enjoying your forum game after a Blazers loss.

Brook reported from the huddle that Stotts specifically told Aminu to keep shooting!

 

[illmatic99]

I wonder if CP, Russ, or Steph would get called for that foul. Dame was getting ridden nonstop by Harrison/douglas on the other end

 

[PCmor7]

If we'd made our free throws tonight, we'd have won this game by dozen points

Memphis wasn't exactly on fire at the line either ...

Oh hell, chicken littles out in full force

 

[LuckyShot]

and every night one team loses....we lost on their turf after a tough loss a few hours earlier ...it happens in pro sports...

It happens to us too often this season for my liking. I can take the occasional hiccup or off night. That's what I chalked last night up to essentially. Tonight we were not mentally engaged on the floor or on the bench. I can't just accept that kind of effort.

 

[Tunchi]

Yeah, but you're just a troll playing the percentages game. It's obvious we have less of a chance to win the championship this year than to win it, so you're just going to roll with the "Blazers suck" position because it's an easy one to troll people with and rub it in their faces when we lose.

Dude we are not that good. I can understand if we are just outside the Warriors clips Spurs level then fine there's no point for me to say anything because we're almost there

But right now we are nowhere near where a lot of ya expected us to be I just like to prove ya wrong

 

[B-Roy]

I have no expectations for this team anymore and they still find ways to disappoint. Not even mad.

 

[Tunchi]

Brook reported from the huddle that Stotts specifically told Aminu to keep shooting!

Exactly I'm not even shocked

I don't get why he doesn't tell Ed Davis to shoot 3s or even Plumlee

 

[chzbrgr]

So... Aminu crabbe a CLE1st for noel and stauskas?

 

[PCmor7]

I felt that loss coming on in the 4th, even though we were up 7, Memphis was just playing with a lot more energy and toughness. Sometimes, this team looks like it's getting bullied physically and mentally.

Doesn't that happen to the Blazers a lot, though? It's not like our organization really values the enforcer or energy guy. The one guy who might be the exception to that is Ed Davis, but he's still a center in a power forward's body.

Sad for a franchise that has had great enforcers like Luke, Buck and B-Grant.

Keep on trolling.

I feel you. Lottery bound will be good for us this year trust me

We can have a lottery pick, CLEs future 1st rounder, and say Harkless with his sweet heart deal and really be loaded with assets

Dame and Cj is young enough to endure this bad season. It would have really nice if we had a pick last year but you know how that went

 

[illmatic99]

I really want see the l2m report. Dame got bumped on at least 3 attempts without a call at the end

 

[BlazerBeav]

Per CSN, that was our worst shooting performance since 2006. Against a bunch of scrubs.

Once Gasol flipped out on the refs and they refused to T him up because it would have ended their team's chances, you had to know we were going to get fucked.

But we still should have pulled this one out if we'd played with any kind of intelligence, discipline, and heart.

 

[illmatic99]

Bulls killing Spurs in chi

 

[Cippy91]

I don't even get mad either. It's just like whatever at this point. Could of won against the bucks. could of won tonight. Not like it matters this season because the west sucks and GS or Cleveland will most likely take the title again but the issue is we are regressing and there's is no reason for that. People making up excuses for it, that's ridiculous. If you're gonna kingspeed it without logic, then lol. If you know basketball, you know what you're seeing is pretty pathetic.

Good way to go about life on meaningless things..

 

[santeesioux]

Sorry guys, but this team flat out blows, and with them being one of the most expensive teams in the league, that's a bad combo. Why did guys like Meyers get paid?

Olshey desparate to have his lotto pick succeed? I gave up on that guy like 3 years ago. I don't even understand why he gets playing time. And paying Crabbe and Turner so much were blunders.

 

[blue9]

I agree

 

[Tunchi]

39-41 win season


Ya think that's fun?

 

[Tunchi]

Hahahahaha
