Game Thread GAME# 28: BLAZERS @ MAGIC - DECEMBER 15, 2017 - FRIDAY, 4:00 PM (PST), NBCSNW

Collins looks so good on defense and that’s why he deserves the starting lineup. His offense will come but his defense is basically there already

 

[riverman]

Dames only missed 1 three

my bad...

 

[SIeepwalker]

Our defense is real nice

 

[KingSpeed]

pat C!

 

[DUB]

I like the tempo we're playing with.

 

[illmatic99]

Collins is playing well. That shot is gonna get in eventually. Reminds me of a young Sheed

 

[H.C.]

Cj is money from there

Look at his numbers

I don't care. A contested 20 footer is a bad shot if 1 pass away you can get a WIDE OPEN straight on 3 pointer.
Learn the game then post.

 

[GrandJury]

Hurd explaining why CJ didn't hit a wide open collins made my ears bleed.

You guys never say shit when Dame shoots half court 3s with 20 seconds left on the clock but one of the best IF NOT the best mid range shooter in the game shoots it it’s a hissy fit

 

[KingSpeed]

Oh it was just some excuse as to why CJ decided to play 2 on 1 instead of hit Collins to his right, who was wide open from three.
CJ made the shot but it was a low % shot, where Collins would've had a stand still straight on 3 pointer.

That's not a low% shot for CJ. It was still a bizarre decision I agree.

Bullshit.
You just can't read.

You don't actually read this board right ? What a stupid statement

 

[H.C.]

That's not a low% shot for CJ

A contested 2 pointer is a low % shot for any player when 1 pass away there is a stand still, wide open player from three.
It's common basketball knowledge.
Make the correct basketball play.

 

[GrandJury]

Collins is terrible offensively

 

[riverman]

Enjoying the Wheels with Scott Linn broadcast...great chemistry between them

 

[GrandJury]

Cj is so nice

 

[GrandJury]

Great pass Cj!!

 

[Cippy91]

Collins is terrible offensively

I don’t agree with this and I believe most of the forum would say the same

 

[riverman]

Great roster rotations by Stotts tonight

 

[illmatic99]

Why don't we play like this at home?

 

[KingSpeed]

A contested 2 pointer is a low % shot for any player when 1 pass away there is a stand still, wide open player from three.

Make the correct basketball play.

Collins is a 22% three point shooter and 0/5 from field tonight. That is 50% shot for CJ.

 

[H.C.]

Great unselfish pass CJ. had a wide open three coming off that screen from Nurk. But saw the defenders quit and Got Nurk a wide open easy layup.
Great pass.

 

[riverman]

Nurk's back!

 

[H.C.]

Collins is a 22% three point shooter and 0/5 from field tonight. That is 50% shot for CJ.

I do not care.
Whats your excuse for not 2 minutes later CJ had 8 seconds left on the clock and attacked 3 defenders missing the layup.
Wide open baseball player at the top.
Make the correct basketball play.
CJ has lost games this year because of his Melo-like play.

 

[riverman]

Chief is MONEY!!!

 

[SIeepwalker]

When Chief shoots I just expect it to go in now... And boy is that a weird feeling !!

 

[GrandJury]

Damn Aminu needs to get his shooting coach over to Harkless

 

[Cippy91]

Aminu could be starting sf next season, just find another good wing. I mean if he continues hitting shots like he has been, you keep him. Get rid of harkless and turner plus one of the bigs for whoever. Start Zach Collins next to nurkic

 

[KingSpeed]

Chief is MONEY!!!

Borderline All Star nowadays.

 

[illmatic99]

catapult looks horrible but it goes in. Gonna take a few weeks, but defenses should start respecting that opening up lanes for Dame.

 

[KingSpeed]

When Chief shoots I just expect it to go in now... And boy is that a weird feeling !!

But he's really a 33% three point shooter, right? Small sample?
