Game Thread GAME# 26: BLAZERS @ CLIPPERS - DECEMBER 12, 2016 - MONDAY, 7:30 PM (PDT), NBATV & CSNNW

[Trackjack]

Good job guys you got some energy tonight and your playing with them.

 

[Darkwebs]

Turner's game is intoxicating

As in, he makes you want to drink?

 

[illmatic99]

We are not even getting close to a fair whistle. AGAIN

 

[Nikolokolus]

Because Stotts is either having to play ML or is dumb and playing ML..

More of a rhetorical question, but yeah.

 

[The Professional Fan]

I thought he was the worst NBA player right now?

Not right now.....another time tho....

 

[Cippy91]

Crabbe is shooting 40% from 3. But yeah, that doesn't fit the narrative.

What do you think his trade value is at because that's all that really matters right now. Can't create his own shot, very inconsistent games, defense overrated. Stand still shooter. Good at one thing. Gonna need to be higher at 40 percent to be valuable to the team

Blazers defense or lake therof is intoxicating as it drives me to drink

 

[riverman]

I never needed basketball for that, but ...sure...to ET....may you all never thirst!!!

 

[The Professional Fan]

As in, he makes you want to drink?

Heh. Sometimes yes. I don't know, he's just really fun to watch even when he's not hitting his shots. He's really well rounded

 

[riverman]

CHIEF !!!!!!

 

[HailBlazers]

Air Plum dog

 

[Nikolokolus]

Good job guys you got some energy tonight and your playing with them.

They still aren't defending for shit.

 

[VenomXL]

Great foul Plumlee!

 

[HailBlazers]

ET!!

 

[Darkwebs]

Lillard makes Paul pay for trying to steal it from Mace

 

[riverman]

HELL YEAH!!!

 

[KingSpeed]

Great second quarter defense

 

[VenomXL]

Ok guys! Looking a little frisky here

 

[Strenuus]

Is it just me or do I never get excited until the final buzzer with almost any lead, or run? I just feel like I have to wait...

 

[Darkwebs]

Plumlee owns Griffin tonight. He abused him on the defensive side, literally and figuratively.

 

[riverman]

Plumlee is taking Griffin personally tonight...blocked him twice now

 

[Darkwebs]

Is it just me or do I never get excited until the final buzzer with almost any lead, or run? I just feel like I have to wait...

Get pumped! That monster block by Mace was sick!

 

[illmatic99]

Wow. Whats that. We played defense and didn't get called for a foul?

 

[KingSpeed]

They still aren't defending for shit.

We've held them to 14 in second quarter with 2 minutes to play. Keep up.

 

[Trackjack]

Let close out this QT on both side of the ball keep the energy up.

 

[Cippy91]

This team is more up and down than a girl on her period. Just a damn rollercoaster.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Just as I complain about the D, they actually string together some stops. Figures.

 

[Tunchi]

I get what you're saying, issue is you were saying this even when we looked really good last season. If we were at 50 wins you would still talk about the lottery. I have seen you make good points but you ruin it because it's been your thing for quite a while now

Yes I seen it last season. It's not a coincidence I was right. If anything I was saying this when it wasn't the popular thing to say.

The problems were always there. Aminu can't shoot, yes he had a good year last year but the regression to the mean was bound to happen. He should be a specialist that focuses on his strengthens which is defense.

Plumlee god bless him is not a starting center. He's a solid backup center around 15-20 min MAX.

We needed a good two years (last year and this) for the lottery. Dame and Cj are not that old. Idk why you guys were in such a hurry and didn't see the major cracks.

Olshey is damn good at drafting. He would have done much better there

His value hasn't changed from last season. Stand still shooter? Hardly. Very good in a two man pick and roll, especially last season with Davis. Sorry he doesn't dribble the ball around for 20 seconds to "create his own shot."

 

[Darkwebs]

Heh. Sometimes yes. I don't know, he's just really fun to watch even when he's not hitting his shots. He's really well rounded

Definitely! He's got great ball-handling skills, great spin moves and has a herky-jerky kind of game.
